I've posted this on mikechai's bulk sales thread but I thought that I'd try my luck here since all the gurus hang out here.

Which of these 2 headphones will be better for my usage, assuming that cost is not taken into account. I use it primarily for soft music/ classical/ jazz / great-vocals based, ballads/instrumental ... and sometimes the ocassional soft rock and pop.
Not really into alternative/ heavy metal stuff.

Was hoping that someone who has tried or experienced both/either of these models could help me out. I have another thread asking about the HP900 but seems like not many people knows of this model (obselete?). And from the feedback i got, it seems like the HP900 is not really recommended. So, i was wondering what about these two models?

P/S: I hope it's alright to post it here as a new topic. The mods please feel free to help move it to somewhere else which they feel fit. Thanks

Does this mean that the 895 would definitely need external amplification? If it is used with a portable player (discman, mp3 player) without any external amplification, how is the performance?

Considering that i don't have an external amplifier to drive the headphones, will the 805 and the 895 still have a noticeable difference in performance? Or will they be of no difference and i would have wasted RM110
