Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO vs Philips SHP9500

Both scored on the same six factors, priced on what you actually pay including delivery, and each claim linked to the source it came from. Prototype data — prices and retailer stock are a fixed demo snapshot from 28 July 2026, not a live feed.

Verdict

Take the Philips SHP9500 unless you need repairability.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO scores highest at 8.7, but it costs 50,00 € more than the Philips SHP9500, which scores 7.0. That premium buys you repairability — 3.8 points of it. Worth it if tracking and recording describes you; otherwise it is money you keep. Watch out for bass is thin and rolls off early on the Philips SHP9500.
