Philips SHP9500 or HD 559

[Drama Lama]

Region: Germany ( but EU is also ok )

budget: 60-80€

 

I‘m looking for a headset that can also be used as normal headphones without a mic.

originally I wanted to use the Philips SHP9500 ( S ) with a V Moda Boom Pro. The problem is that the SHP 9500 are not available in my region so I searched for an alternative with roughly the same price and found the Sennheiser HD 559. 

so Are they a good Alternative for the Price?

 

thanks

I have SHP9500's and HD558's, both are great but the HD518's and HD558's I've used more.

 

If the HD559's are anything like the previous models, you can just remove the locking cam or cut out the tabs from it then use an adapter to take the 2.5mm jack to 3.5mm.
