Philips Open Back Wired Headphones
500+ bought last month
StylePerformance Audio | SHP9600
OVERPRICED.
These are wired over-ear headphones from Philips with an open-back design, meaning they let sound escape rather than seal it in. They're built for people who listen at home to music, podcasts, or TV and want decent sound quality without breaking the bank, with a 3-meter cable and adapter included.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The open-back design gives you a more spacious, natural sound compared to closed headphones, but it also means people nearby will hear what you're listening to.
- They're lightweight and have padded ear cups designed for long listening sessions, so they won't fatigue your ears or neck during extended use.
- The 3-meter cable is long enough to reach across a room, but being wired means you're tethered to your device rather than having wireless freedom.
As of Aug 30, the Philips Open Back Wired Headphones is overpriced at $79.99 — versus a $74.64 typical price and a $44.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
