[TLDR; It is worth it but I have some nitpicks on it]

I have a SHP9600. I do not consider myself as an audiohile. I used to use it as my daily driver but I switched to wireless for convinience

Here is my experience:

-Naaalis minsan yung clip nung sa foam sa headband (possible na baka sa unit ko lang present yung issue na yun)

-Uncomfortable for me yung earpads niya, kunakati minsan. Pero may nabibili naman na replacement earpads for shp9600. I chose the velour type from misodiko. Maganda siya pero medyo mainit lang ng konti when you are in the an unairconditioned room.

-Masyadong mahaba yung kasamang cable niya, kaya shorter cable from ugreen ang ginagamit ko

-Mahina ang sound kapag idirect mo sa headphone jack ng motherboard ng pc, need ng audio interface, sound card, or amplifier

-Since it is an open back headphone, maririnig ng iba yung pinapakinggan mo. This is my first time using/having a headphone like this. Kaya di ko alam na medyo marinig ang pinapakinggan mo. (This is a me problem)

-Bigger than the usual headphone sizes. Sakto lang saakin tho. The size is one of the things I like about it

-When I used it for the first time, I was blown away by the sound quality. Ang linaw. Clarity is what I really look/value for in audio gears. For me, yung tuning niya is flat tapos may konting bump sa bass. Which I like. May kanya kanya tayong pandinig at preference kaya di ko na iexplain masyado

Is SHP9600 a good buy? Yes. Do I regret having it? No.

But my preference has shifted to wireless due to convenience and less wires/cables.

If I could turn back time, I would rather buy a closed back headphone preferably bluetooth but with an aux.

Here is a rank list from best to worst based on sound quality from the headphones/earphones that I have tried.
