2 Reasons For for Choosing the Philips SHP6000
The Philips SHP6000 supports noise reduction, however the ifrogz Little Rockerz, the Pioneer HDJ1500, the Shure SRH145 and the Sony MDRZX100 do not. More ...
'Noise Reduction' denotes how good the headphones are at passively cutting down external noise leaking into your music from outside. Please note this is different from noise cancelling - that is an active process, and far more effective. This uses foam and tight-fitting seals to block out unwanted noise.
The better the noise reduction, the less annoying background noise will affect your music while you're enjoying it.
The Philips SHP6000 is a 5.2 cable length pair of headphones. That's 4m longer than the ifrogz Little Rockerz, the Pioneer HDJ1500, the Shure SRH145 and the Sony MDRZX100 (1.2m). More ...
The length of the cable between the headphones and the jack.
10 Reasons Against for Choosing the Philips SHP6000
The Philips SHP6000 is a 262 pair of headphones. That's 187g heavier than the ifrogz Little Rockerz (75g), 23g lighter than the Pioneer HDJ1500 (285g), 112g heavier than the Shure SRH145 (150g) and 142g heavier than the Sony MDRZX100 (120g). More ...
'Weight' denotes how heavy the headphones are, measured in grams (g).
Lighter headphones will be more comfortable to wear for long periods.
The Philips SHP6000 is a 40 driver pair of headphones. That's 10mm bigger than the ifrogz Little Rockerz and the Sony MDRZX100 (30mm), 10mm smaller than the Pioneer HDJ1500 (50mm) and 4mm bigger than the Shure SRH145 (36mm). More ...
The driver unit is the part of the headphone that converts the audio signal into actual sound. This attribute denotes the physical size of this driver unit, measured in millimetres.
A bigger driver unit means that the headphones will be capable of generating more sound, making them louder. It doesn't necessarily mean the sound will be better quality, just louder. However it's a good starting point if you're looking for a powerful pair of headphones.
The Philips SHP6000 is not noise canceling (As does the the ifrogz Little Rockerz), whereas the Pioneer HDJ1500, the Shure SRH145 and the Sony MDRZX100 are. More ...
'Noise Cancelling' denotes whether the headphones actively filter out unwanted noise when in use.
Noise-cancelling headphones mean that far less background noise filters through to your ears. This makes music easier to hear, and can lead to improved concentration and productivity, as well as being nicer to use in noisy environments (such as airplanes).
The Philips SHP6000 is a 105 headphone sensitivity pair of headphones. That's 20dB bigger than the ifrogz Little Rockerz (85dB), 3dB smaller than the Pioneer HDJ1500 (108dB) and 5dB bigger than the Shure SRH145 and the Sony MDRZX100 (100dB). More ...
'Headphone Sensitivity' denotes how effectively the headphones convert digital signals into audio noise - the higher the sensitivity, the louder the headphone output will be.
The Philips SHP6000 is not foldable (As do the the ifrogz Little Rockerz and the Shure SRH145), whereas the Pioneer HDJ1500 and the Sony MDRZX100 are. More ...
'Foldable' denotes whether the headphones can be folded down into a small, portable form.
Foldable headphones are easier to carry or store when not in use, and are less likely to break through mishandling.
The Philips SHP6000 has received a Kagoo Score of 72, whereas the Shure SRH145 scored 79 and the Sony MDRZX100 scored 76.
The Philips SHP6000 is $20 more expensive than the ifrogz Little Rockerz, $16 more expensive than the Shure SRH145 and $20 more expensive than the Sony MDRZX100.
The Philips SHP6000 is only stocked by 1 seller, but the ifrogz Little Rockerz is stocked by 2 stores, the Pioneer HDJ1500 is stocked by 2 sellers, the Shure SRH145 is stocked by 2 sellers and the Sony MDRZX100 is stocked by 2 sellers. More ...
The Philips SHP6000 is nine months older than the ifrogz Little Rockerz.
