What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Philips SHP9500 HiFi Precision Stereo Over-Ear Headphones (Black)

Light weight, tons of ear room, super nice pads, very adjustable band, superb build quality and sound are all fantastic.
Large ear pads. These ear pads are wide and tall enough for the weirdest looking ears.
Extremely light weight and comfortable even after hours of gaming. Highly recommend.
They are very light-weight, i could wear them all day, even if i am not listening to music or watching video, and the clamp, for me, is very snug without putting much pressure at all on my head.
Super light weight, I could wear these headphones for hours and not get headaches or pressure on my head.

Philips X2 Fidelio Over Ear Headphone, Black

Very light and extremely comfortable - ear cushions, headbands, and clamping force are all perfect.
Nice, detachable, braided cable of just the right length and weight for my taste.
They feel light as a feather, and the soft, pillow-like ear pads make for a light, luxurious clamping that allows long listening sessions without discomfort.
The head phones were bigger than I was expecting, but feel fairly light to wear.
The headset feels light and comfortable on my head. I've been listening for about 3 hours straight now with no sore spots or ear fatigue.

What customers say about "Features"

Philips SHP9500 HiFi Precision Stereo Over-Ear Headphones (Black)

The sound stage is good. The frequency response is definitely flatter, yet it is still extremely exciting to listen to.
They have a relaxed sound signature, with a slight treble spike, and a bit of distortion in the lower frequencies when pushed to louder levels.
Great details in high frequencies. Amazing soundstage and imaging. Balanced low frequencies with enough amount of it.
The cable is pretty bad. It functions correctly but it's made of rubber that holds its shape.
No folding or compaction. You probably shouldn't put these in a bag because the hinges might bend and break under pressure.

Philips X2 Fidelio Over Ear Headphone, Black

Great looks - neither flashy bling bling nor cheap - just simple elegance.
They sound amazing and are comfortable enough to wear for hours.
They feel solid in my hands - almost bulletproof - and I cannot believe how light they feel on my head.
The large drivers are tilted toward your ears which seems to help with the directionality of the sound.
The design of the X2 is fantastic. These are really elegant looking headphones in person and definitely have a luxurious appeal.
