don't agree with those ppl saying that cheap headphone used the sintetic leather.
even nakamichi headphone also use them. and they cost really damn ex.
not believe? go times square, "borders" and u see the nakamichi headphone there. =P

Just bought a nice pair of SHP895 today from Jalan Pasar.

AT RM160 !!! What a steal, at least I don't have to fork out RM239 and a Philips Jersey... laugh.gif

Too bad, for I had to bid adieu to my HP845 which suffers from broken side plastic that hold the left can and adjustable head band. Furthermore, even the supplied OFC suffers from broken conductors from within. I really hope that it can be repaired.

UPGRADES:

The transition from 845 -> 895 though a lil sad but I'd actually enjoys it very much ! thumbup.gif

They replaced felt lining with velvet lining which is more comfortable.
They even positioned the driver tilted towards the ear's natural position, unlike previously the 845 placed it like the orthodox can where it is sticked to the far out.
The air vent of 895 really draws out the potential of what an open-circumaural can is capable of; contrary to the 845 'air-vent' which is strictly meant for decoration purpose laugh.gif. The difference is obvious when worn as the 895 vent really allows outside air in-out while the 845's vent is restrictive or should I say, barely plays its role to fully exhibit the 'openness' of a supposed-open-can.

Not amped, currently burning in with my old but trustworthy Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo III for about an hour.

Will soon pair it a ONKYO WAVIO SE-150PCI soundcard after my NexG Prepaid done. laugh.gif

aiks. past 2 month i go there almost every week. why i never see that deal???

SHP895 is way more comfortable as compared to SHP805......

flex.gif and HP890 is far more comfortable then HP895.

don't boost the volume while u play guitar.
u should maybe look for close can. so u can lower the volume of the headphone.
else while u killing ur headphone. u might kill ur ear too.

ps: close type headphone isolate more sound. but hp895 open type can hear ambient sound.

no. my Hp890 compare to DAViS HP1000 is bigger. so i assume all your 890 and 1000 will be the same.
except my hp890 is extra large, or davis hp1000 is super small version. . heck what the hell i am talking about.

hey guys.. i am in a dilemma now. I donno which to buy, SHP895 or grado sr60.. to ppl who have tried both, which 1 shud i go for?

QUOTE(MadCow @ Sep 18 2006, 12:01 AM)
100% pure music. Not so much of a booming bass, a soft yet powerful bass will do. Home usage. Hmm, around 3 hours daily
*
if you won't bring it around and use it outside.
go for HP895. =P
after amp it. the sound stage is much more superior.
bass is deeper sound stage wider. overall still better. except portablities.
comparison is made between mine HP890 VS dinodog_JR SR60.

Hp805 looks cheaper and easily breaks compare to the hp890 but actually it is the other way round -.-  hp890 breaks to easily i guess.

Sound also more or less the same except that hp890 have slightly better treble and bass.
*
actually, not slight different...
HP890 fully burn in is quite nice.. wanna come? my hp890 + canare starquad cable
IMHO is really good...
HP890 break actually i think is depend on batch one.
i got one Hp890 from mikechai long long time ago, still steady.
but ijan one. when i got it, i repair one side, after very careful use for 8 month, another side broken also.
the silver colour ring right above the earcup,. there inside got two stub. always that one broken.
i think the material defect... heard their factory goes some things wrong during making that batch. so spesific batch easily broken down. but my another one i even drop it and sleep on it, nothings happen. so far so good. and looks like new one also. (since i got from ijan, i keep another one back in box, so far 99% scratchless and still got new headphone smell . lol...no choise, i really like hp890. for it's comfort and sound and price too.
give it an nice burn, it really sound good after that. (when i using ijan one, roughly 1 years old form him, during 1 day, the sound suddenly change. bass tamed down slightly, not as fat, and all treble comes out. and now even more treble compare to ksc75.. ksc75 is like slightly blured compare to the fully burned hp890. i compare it once again , the burned hp890 and my own almost new hp890 and found they sound different.. =)
both also sound good of course.

I never thought the changing the cables affect that much though..

and about it being fragile maybe I'm the some of the unlucky ones to get those with material defects sad.gif
The treble is more than the ksc-75? You sure about that? IMO the treble from the koss is more than the hp890, or mine is not properly bured in  sweat.gif
If only you somewhere around my place  sweat.gif
*
wanna come over and listen urself?
=P
i got 3 pair of hp890 and 3 pair of ksc75. both comparing give the same result. so i assume there's no experimental error occur.
with stock cable. the sound is quite dark. but have better bass. but with canare cable. hehehe i gurantee u can't tahan the treble if you turn it really loud.

QUOTE(hitler @ Nov 20 2006, 02:19 PM)
just got mine hp 895 just now

is it i haven fully burn in or wat
lack of trebble n base compare with koss ksc-75
but...
more details in hp 895, just tat just lack of those trebble n base
hopefully after burn in it will get better
*
i not sure how long should burn. i bought my second pair from ijan, which he used for 6 month, and i run it for roughly 3 month. but during i using., there's one day i notice that the sound had changed.but i assume it won't need more than 200 hours to burn.
by the way, what player u used to drive it?
try to amp it, ksc75 is some how quite far from 890 IMHO.
QUOTE(totox7 @ Nov 20 2006, 06:17 PM)
Hey, got a question here. I own a HP890 n when i plug into my 10 years old radio hifi instead on-board ac97, the sound produced iz alot more improved...i wonder do i need an amp?Can the sound quality go further on? ohmy.gif
*
ac97 don't have enough power to drive it. just get a cmoy. u can spot the different easily.
