So actually have you bought it? if you haven;t bought it, DONT buy it...seriously.

MDR-CD are used on all Sony's old series of hi fidelity headphones. They are now broken into two series, mainly the MDR-XD (closed design) and SA(only 3 of them, highest end of sony's series *qualia not included). The CD series are now obsolete, but the sound has not. So fi you look around, you could get them at very good prices for second hand unit. The MDR-V series are mainly for DJs

Yes i have purchase it ....

May i know that, bigger size driver such as 40mm and 50mm. Is it bigger will provide advantage in sound quality?

May i know what kind of player are deem fit for this headphones? Micro Hi-Fi? Mini-Hifi? Stand Alone CD Player? Discman? Mini Disc? MP3 player?

Thanks.

Actually, driver size is another something that is debatable. Anyway, don't worry about it. Most headphones use 40mm driver, some of them use 50mm driver but doesn't neccessarily sound better than those that use 40mm. If you have a chance, try auditioning the Sony MDR-V700DJ (50mm driver, and cost about RM800 I think), then compare it to the Senneheiser 555/580 (40mm driver, RM500-900)

I didnt hear any difference when amping and not amping the xd200, I belive all equipments will drive them fine.

how many hours did you "burn-in" your XD-200? is 40 hours sufficient or else 50 to 100 hours?

I'm confuse now as there is forum called minidisc.org did a review that XD-200 wasn't that bad after all.

They did mention that XD400 overall does better than CD580....

Thanks...

I let mine run for pretty long, a few days at least. Seriously, the phone sux. It's as horrible as the Koss UR20.

fellas.. fellas.. sorry to barge in like this. help needed here..

if anybody kind enuff to gimme comments bout these models. the good, the bad.. which one should i get coz i cant seem to make up my mind. gonna use it for my new muvo tx..

1. senn mx550
2. senn px100
3. koss ksc 55
4. sony ex71
5. philips she-9500

.. or any other suggestions for under $200. thanx fellas!

check out my reply to your previous question on the last page
among those 5 i'd still take the PX100

but i think you might wanna decide whether u want headphones or earphones first
if you're gonna be carrying it in your pocket together with your player, i wouldnt take any of the headphones

if you're wearing spectacles, forget the kcs-55
i broke mine out of frustration cause they were so damn uncomfortable

mucha gracias amigo.. im 4 eyed so kcs55 is out of the bin! so px100 still the best la.. ok, im still gonna look around 4 a few days, im gonna buy 1 in 2 more days.

any more suggestions are very welcome..

hmm.. quick question.

senn HD497 vs philps 895?

@kyll

The 895 is bigger in size if compared to the 497. But for me i would take the 895. To me the HD 515 sounds crappy, the 497 is even below it, so i would forget about it. Haven't got a chance to hear the 895, but there is a lot of positive comments about it. Why not give it a shoot?

if it was hp890 vs hd497

hp890 - better comfort, stronger bass
hd497 - less bass, better clarity

i'd go for the HP895 simply for the comfort and better looks + a stand too

I hv KSC 55 ...

My humble opinion ...

This model emphasize alot on bass ... Without any EQ, the bass is quite overwhelming .. Not to an extent it'll overpower mid/highs, but, it is more noticeable and if you're someone like me who loves to keep the bass tight and more on the background ... Koss is not really a good model without any EQ tweak ... But if you're a bass head ... Then Koss KSC 55 might be a good model ...

About the mid and high, they're pretty nice for me ... Clear highs and mids ... (the highs are pretty okay, not to an extent they pierce your ear ... )

The reason I get the Koss KSC 55 is because of the sporty design ... Since I wear it when I go to the gym sometimes or when I'm walking, I don't like the design of PX100 as the thing cross on top of your head and it's not really that stable ...

kenlui & KilJim: thanks! looks like the 895s are whats hot right now.. thx. (:

anyone can recommend an mp3 player with FM?
budget is not that high... around RM300-400
Thank in advance

buffa ...

You should post your question here

@kyll

No problem. Let us know what u think of the 895. Although i just bought the 555 2 hours ago, my ears are itching to hear the 895... hehe

@buffa

As geminist has posted, pls take note before u post.

@geminist

Hmm.. i disagree with u that the PX100 is unstable. So far im ok with it but just that it'll spoil ur hairstyle. Since both of our hairstyle are similar haha

Alamaklor, what do you think about MDR-XD400?

Thanks... maybe can MSN much better....

kenlui: now im tempted to save up for the HD555s.. >_< hahah.. looks damn sexy.. i think im becoming a sennheiser fan.. o_o

how much were the pair of 555s? ure not in malaysia are you?

EDIT: typo. >_<

@kyll

Nope im not. I got it around RM360++ I think the price is malaysia should be above RM400... I was pretty suprised with the price over here. hehe

wtf? wah lau eh...RM360+ i oso want lar! wow...what a steal man

I didn't know the ksc55 is also bass heavy, I thought it's a little softer than the portapros//ksc75. Bear in mind it's just my speculation I've never heard of the ksc55 let alone the ksc75 haha

ei jimmy, added liao. no comments on the xd400, never heard of it. Wanted to get it at the first place but the store made an inventory error on their website and when I went there they only had xd200 .

They never carrier the xd400 after that, only the xd300.
