7 Reasons For for Choosing the Philips SHL5000
The Philips SHL5000 supports noise reduction, but the Beyerdynamic DT 235, the ifrogz Little Rockerz, the Pioneer HDJ1500 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 SHL5000 is noise canceling, whereas the Beyerdynamic DT 235, the ifrogz Little Rockerz, the Pioneer HDJ1500 and the Sony MDRZX100 are not. 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 SHL5000 is foldable, and so are the Pioneer HDJ1500 and the Sony MDRZX100, whereas the Beyerdynamic DT 235 and the ifrogz Little Rockerz are not. 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 SHL5000 has received a Kagoo Score of 80, however the Beyerdynamic DT 235 scored 72, the ifrogz Little Rockerz scored only 67, the Pioneer HDJ1500 scored 73 and the Sony MDRZX100 scored 74.
The Philips SHL5000 costs $128.61 less than the Pioneer HDJ1500.
A greater number of shops increases the chances of the product remaining in stock and also increases the price competition amongst retailers for this pair of headphones.
The Philips SHL5000 has an average overall review score of 77% based on 15 reviews, however the Beyerdynamic DT 235 has an average rating of 65% (based on 5 reviews), the Pioneer HDJ1500 has an average rating of 60% (based on 3 reviews) and the Sony MDRZX100 has an average rating of 56% (based on 2 reviews).
9 Reasons Against for Choosing the Philips SHL5000
The Philips SHL5000 is a 119 pair of headphones. That's 11g lighter than the Beyerdynamic DT 235 (130g), 44g heavier than the ifrogz Little Rockerz (75g), 166g lighter than the Pioneer HDJ1500 (285g) and 1g lighter 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 SHL5000 has a driver size of 32. That's 18mm smaller than the Beyerdynamic DT 235 and the Pioneer HDJ1500 (50mm) and 2mm bigger than the ifrogz Little Rockerz and the Sony MDRZX100 (30mm). 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 SHL5000 is a 106 headphone sensitivity pair of headphones. That's 11dB bigger than the Beyerdynamic DT 235 (95dB), 21dB bigger than the ifrogz Little Rockerz (85dB), 2dB smaller than the Pioneer HDJ1500 (108dB) and 6dB bigger than 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 SHL5000 is a 1.2 cable length pair of headphones, and so do the ifrogz Little Rockerz, the Pioneer HDJ1500 and the Sony MDRZX100. That's 1.3m shorter than the Beyerdynamic DT 235 (2.5m). More ...
The length of the cable between the headphones and the jack.
The Philips SHL5000 does not have a detachable cable, however the Beyerdynamic DT 235, the ifrogz Little Rockerz, the Pioneer HDJ1500 and the Sony MDRZX100 have this feature. More ...
'Detachable Cable' denotes whether the headphones have a cable that can be easily detached, or whether it's hard-wired to the unit.
A detachable cable is helpful, because it allows for easy replacement if something goes wrong with the cable. It also means that if you drop the headphones or get them caught on something, then the wire simply disconnects rather than yanking the headphones and possibly damaging them.
The Philips SHL5000 is three months older than the Beyerdynamic DT 235, one year older than the ifrogz Little Rockerz and two months older than the Pioneer HDJ1500.
The Philips SHL5000 has only received 1 award, whereas the Beyerdynamic DT 235 has received 2 awards.
The Philips SHL5000's average expert score is only 74%, however the Beyerdynamic DT 235's is 80% (based on 5 reviews).
Philips headphones have an average rating of only 86%, whereas Sony has an average rating of 95%.
The cheapest price that we could find for the SHL5000 in the US is $15.89 but in total we found only 2 prices for it.

Foldable headphones are easier to carry or store when not in use, and are less likely to break through mishandling.
The Pioneer HDJ1500 has a detachable cable, whereas the Beyerdynamic DT 235, the ifrogz Little Rockerz, the Philips SHL5000 and the Sony MDRZX100 do not have this feature. More ...
'Detachable Cable' denotes whether the headphones have a cable that can be easily detached, or whether it's hard-wired to the unit.
A detachable cable is helpful, because it allows for easy replacement if something goes wrong with the cable. It also means that if you drop the headphones or get them caught on something, then the wire simply disconnects rather than yanking the headphones and possibly damaging them.
A greater number of stores increases the price competition amongst retailers for this pair of headphones and also increases the chances of the product remaining in stock.
