I saw the Philips SHP 2700 model on display in Big Bazaar. I did some research on that model on India Philips website. I was impressed by its specifications and finalized to buy this model.

Acoustic system: Open ( With Bass Vents ).

Construction and Features ....
SHP 2700 is Made in China and comes with a 6 month warranty. This is the model launched before SHP 8500. Interestingly, the human eardrum is horizontally slanting and not straight. So Philips has done something intelligent : it's placed the headphone's speaker horizontally slanted. So if other headphones and our ears are like this...... I /, Philips headphones and our ears are like this...... / /. So, sound flows directly into our ears creating a stronger impact !
The circular headband has PHILIPS logo on top in white. The gray finishing of the huge ear-cups is beautiful. SHP 2700 has 3-way adjustability: the ear-cups swivel 360 degrees around the headphone vertchandru021y and about 30 degrees horizontally. These headphones also have cloth padding on the cups : they are soft to wear and never heat up much. Just as in a Bass Reflex speaker, it has 'bass vents' that allow air to flow inside the speaker and vice versa. It also comes with a Chrome Plated 6.3 mm Jack ( to connect it to guitar amplifier ).
MUSIC ....
I played a Michael Jackson song Speed Demon from album Bad ( on Acer 5738 laptop with Dolby Sound). In the beginning of the song, a car sound starts on the left channel and traverses to the right : the sound is so natural & beautiful on my Philips. Smooth Criminal's beginning heartbeat music is clear as crystal. In the AQUA songs We Belong To The Sea and Goodbye to Circus I can hear minute sounds so clearly ..... just amazing !
Music lovers who prefer heavy bass will never be disappointed : the Bass is rich, thanks to the 40 mm diaphragm. Since I haven't listened to Sennheiser or Koss headphones, I cannot compare this with them. But for this price it's a great buy.
