YOCOWOCO Bluetooth Adapter for Philips SHP9500 Headphones, Black | Add Bluetooth Audio to Philips SHP9500 Headphones, with AptX Support, Built‑in Microphone & Volume Controls

So far so good if you are getting this you have to make sure your phone supports aptx and iPhone users aptx doesn't work well with Apple as good as it does for Android users I'm using this with the Freddie version and a moto stylus 5g 2025 works great sounds good and I can use it all night to sleep and wake up to 40% battery life left haven't had issues with connectivity of the adapter and sit flush with the headphones so it looks like it's part of the headphones the only issue i have is it does add a little bit of weight to one side but not that noticeable

Using this for computer headphones, and am very pleased with the sound quality, bluetooth range, loudness, and overall ease of use. This supports A2DP with AptX HD on my configuration which is very nice and makes it almost instantaneous for gaming purposes. Due to the location and number of microphones (one) there really isn't much for picking up my voice, but I wasn't expecting much so I wasn't disappointed. I am using an external mic from ZealSound anyways. Biggest negative is the battery life as it only lasts about a full day of use, although I am used to headsets for PCs lasting a few days between charges so my use-case may not be the intended target. A bigger battery would have made these a no-brainer and outstanding deal, but they do seem to support some quick charging quick charging. Still, at this price and this quality I would recommend this to convert your Philips SHP9500 into a very good wireless headset.

Has continuity issues - won't make a full connection with the headset unless I'm pushing it into position or biasing it in a certain direction.

I got it for several days now and I'm loving it. It's comfortable and easy to control. The sound is amazing through the bluetooth for the SHP9500. A great thing about this adapter is that it's multipoint compatible where you connect two bluetooth transmitter to this adapter at one time. This means that you can listen to a movie or youtube from your laptop and have your phone connected also so you can get notified of calls. If you want to answer any calls just clicking the on/off button. And when you hang up on the call it will resume to your previous connection on your laptop. The only con with is adapter is that you can not fast forward or reverse partially within a track. You can jump to the next track or replay the last track by clicking the + or - button which is also the volume buttons. Loving the adapter so far. Hope it lasts.

Replaced an old cheapo Bluetooth receiver that broke on a fall. TL;DR - this BT receiver uses the aptX codex for devices that support it (e.g., Android), which changes the soundscape. While not "bad," it's definitely different. I was able to find a way to disable/change the codex, but if you don't want to bother, keep in mind that if you pair this on an Android device, it may default to the aptX codex. Pros - Fit: seamless look for the SHP9500, which means I no longer have a dongle getting in my way. - Improved call quality: callers now indicate they can hear me much clearer. - Range: previously, connection would cut out at the other end of my house (multiple walls), which is no longer happening. - Battery life: I use it anywhere from 4-5 hours/day, and it's still going strong on it's original charge, three days ago. Cons - As others have stated, I really wish there was a way to charge the device without having to remove it from the headset, as I can see fatigue eventually degrading the connection. Sound (Mixed) Now to the reason I'm posting this review. When I first plugged and paired the receiver, I thought something was wrong with it, as the sound wasn't as "full" as my previous BT receiver. I listened to music, videos, and movies, and they all sounded different. I then paired the receiver with an older PC, and the sound was what I expected. It was then that I realized that these are using the aptX codex to change the sound on supported devices. After some investigation, I learned that I could change the BT codex on my android device, so that the receiver isn't using the codex, but it requires quite a few hoops, and unfortunately, it appears that the receiver overrides my choice, and defaults back to aptX when reconnecting. To be fair, aptX is mentioned both in the product title and the description; however, in the description, it's touted as providing "near-lossless" audio, and while the audio quality does sound good, what the description doesn't tell you is that the codex also significantly changes the soundscape. The best way I can describe it, is that it moves the audio from inside the center of my head to outside my ears. This is really pronounced when watching a movie, as dialog now sounds as if it's coming the individual's location within the given scene. Likewise, with this codex enabled, I can also place environmental sounds (e.g., to my left, right, or behind me), so while I hesitate to call it a positional codex, it definitely does modify the soundscape. For music, I feel it's a mixed bag. I listened to samples within multiple genres, to include classical, jazz, metal, reggaeton, synth, ambient, vocal house, DnB, bluegrass, classic rock and almost anything in between. For most genres, the highs and mids are now distinctly separate and clear from the bass. For example: a classic bluegrass track enabled me to distinctly make out the banjo, mandolin and bass all with a surprising amount of clarity and because the soundscape was outside of my head, the bass sounded a bit more defined, if not outright boomier over the typical "middle of the head" experience. On the other hand, tracks which involved a lot of distortion or mixing, such as metal or drum-n-bass, sounded lacking. Additionally, voices within talking head videos or audiobooks sound almost tinny, as if I'm listening to the voice through a can-on-a-string, so that's a major weakness for me. Despite this, the one unintended consequence of this change is that not only do my ears feel much less fatigued after a long listening session, but I am able to turn the volume up much higher, given that the soundscape is now outside of my head. Overall, I'm going to keep the receiver, as I feel that I can get used to and put up with the overall changes, but I also wanted to share my experience, in case anyone else is looking to connect this to an android device.

I absolutely love my Philips SHP9500 headphones because they are the most comfortable I have ever found. Usually I run them wired to a DAC but occasionally I like to have the option of wireless freedom so I bought this to try. Compatibility wise, this just plugs right in and works seemlessly. Making sure the audio setting is set to a format like LDAC AptX give higher audio quality. Battery life is pretty good lasting many hours at near max volume. Only downside I have found is if you are trying to run both input and output at the same time the audio quality drops off significantly. Like when talking in discord while playing a game. I'm guessing it's a bitrate problem but not 100% sure. Overall it is well worth the money for the ability to have a wireless option. If you need a mic, use a desk mic in conjunction with these for the best audio quality.

Attempted to use this but the audio produced was that of a phone call. It's easy to use just plug in and turn on then pair. I would not recommend using the mic it makes the audio quality so much worse, disable the mic for best audio quality. But to be fair I only attempted to use it on one device.

It adds bluetooth connectivity to an open back headphone in a sleek light weight device. Sound quality, loudness, and bt connection are good.

Gute Hires-Wiedergabe.

Tutto ok. Batteria di lunga durata

Excellent sound, neat fit

These worked brilliantly to begin with, but stopped working after 9 months. I heard a pop while they were charging and they never came back on again. Since I've already seen a review listing this issue, I thought I'd add my experience here in case it is helpful.

Quite good. I would have gave it 5 stars if it had a 3.5mm passthrough and the charging port accesible without removing it from the headphone
