One big difference between these headphones and others on the market? These are balanced headphones and come with a 2.5mm balanced jack and a quality balanced cable. So try to find this in headphones at this price?!? Philips always has great sounding headphones at better pricing than other name brands. And the audio quality is excellent across all frequencies. And the build quality and durability longevity is high above most brands.
Also listening to these through a unbalanced cable doesn't do them justice. You must use a balanced headphone amp and the balanced cable that these headphones come with. The sound quality then really opens up, more dynamic across the whole audio spectrum.
Do you know how a balanced cable works? Maybe you could explain it here so maybe we can learn? But I suspect we won't be hearing from you again...
Your post reads like an advertising bot or paid salesperson. Strange that you were only motivated to sign up to this forum to lavish praise on a headphone, on an old thread that was dead nearly 5 months ago.
Then after you tell us how balanced audio cables work, and just why unbalanced seem (in your opinion) to result in bad audio quality, despite most the best headphones in the world being unbalanced then please, let's discuss these gems...
1.) "Philips always has great sounding headphones at better pricing than other name brands" Please tell us how you arrived at this conclusion?
2.) "The build quality and durability longevity is high above most brands" Same... Examples at the same price point - Are you saying Philips use materials or techniques that others don't?
3.) "The audio quality is excellent across all frequencies" What does this even mean? I think my headphones have very bad audio quality at 205Hz, but 206Hz sounds great!
4.) "You must use a balanced headphone amp" Do you have an AMP recommendation for us?
I'm totally up for a discussion of your claims. I'm eager to learn, and to find out what I have been missing out on all these years...
