It's 52.79 New on EBay.

For anyone who is looking for a good set of budget reference headphones, these are legends for the price. I have had a pair of these for years and they are still going strong. I used to use these for studio monitoring back when I produced/recorded music, and these have a great neutral sound signature. So if you're in the market for hearing music without any coloring or alterations these compete with headphones more than 3x this price.

I've had these for 7 years now and these are exceptional value. They sound good and are cheap but the thing that makes these really exceptional and what prevents me from getting new headphones is these are insanely comfortable and breathable. I always hate how every single reviewer always says "These headphones are pretty comfortable to wear" for every single pair of headphones. It's complete nonsense. I had the AT m40x's and the sennheiser 558s which were both very good headphones in terms of sound quality and I wager they felt fine to most people. When I had them the M40xs would get hot and clamped a bit hard but it wasn't like unbearable for a few hours but I would always take them off if I didn't need them on. With the 558s they were much better and more breathable (They were openback so it's kind of an unfair advantage) and I considered them the most comfortable headphones I had used but the earpads were a little scratchy overall not bad but I still took them off If I ever didn't need them on.

The Phillips SHP9500s though Oh my god they are comfy they obliterate everything else. They are soft lightweight so breathable I don't think you could possibly do any better with headphone comfort, you would need IEMS or something. I regularly just sit at my desk and FORGET I'm wearing them. That would never happen with any other headphones I tried not even close. I'm sure alot of people could tell you better about the audio quality but for a gamer headset or a budget audiophile headset (open Back) with soundstage these are really good and for me comfort matters way more than reviewers will spend time on. If you are looking for something that sounds good and is comfortable this is it.
Sometimes I get the itch to look at new headphones it stops me from buying other headphones because I'm worried they will feel bad so that really says something.

Now for negatives it does leak sound alot but most open backs do this. Also for me this is actually advantage. I am a cheap mofo so I don't have speakers for my computer so I just turn the volume Up and set it down and its loud enough to listen to a podcast or some video where audio quality doesn't matter.
And my clamping force after 7 years has definitely weakened to the point where if I lean too much they will start sliding off but for the price these are unbeatable IMO.

Yeah, obviously it's all preference, I think what they're saying is that these open backs are great, not that all open backs are better than or worse than closed back phones.

yea I just wished someone explained it to me that open back means you can literally hear everything outside the headphones as if you're not wearing anything at all basically lol.

Quite opposite - instead of "you can literally hear everything outside" - actually every one around can hear what you are listening

Yeah buddy! I agree with you 100% about these headphones. I've collected and used tons of headphones over the last 20+ years or so and when I got these like 7 years ago, they have been my absou favorite. I have gone back and forth between these many times and I can't let these go. They are outstanding for the price and should be considered some of the best headphones ever made. Phillips used to be headphones Gods back in the day and these headphones prove their mark in history as one of the best. Think I'll pick me up another pair just to keep for when these finally go kaput.
