heya guys, hps 895 owner here to report. ahahahha

So far, I'm happy wif d 895, but I found dat it works better on my onboard AC97 soundcard rather than my PCI Audiotrak Maya 7.1 soundcard. Anyone knows why? 4d tym being, I keep telling myself dat maybe my Maya does not provide enuff "power" to the 895. since AC97 is an onboard soundcard, thus, it can take more "power" from the mobo to the 895. Pls do correct me if I'm wrong

You need to amp that Maya.

hey guys,

wanna ask, is the hp895 good for techno?
my bro likes techno and dance music, been playing o2jam very frequently lately, and he is using my SR80!! it hurts  sweat.gif
and recently he loves to use headphones rather than his altec lansing. so thought get him a headphone.

used the hp805 before and of course i wouldnt wanna buy back the same one for him, and furthermore i kinda like the hp895  thumbup.gif

I've been using my SHP895 to play CS:S and BF2. Sacrilegious?

Hmmmz.. let me rephrase.. tongue.gif ...Im juz wondering does that happened to those "velvet" looking ones... coz this my first headphones that has that.. blush.gif

Okiez, i have 'warm-up' my SHP895 for 40hrs liaoz... i gotta say, definately better than my previous headphones which its AltecLansing's AHP512 blush.gif ..heh

More comfortable, due bigger ear-cups wink.gif , better balance of treble & bass too..  flex.gif

And lastly, really nice 'stand' for it.. heh  thumbup.gif

Lol seriously, feel the material and tell me how possible it could break like plastic leather.

I tied a thick foam cushion on the headband to spread it's force against my cranium more evenly.

Sounds like a problem with the soundcard instead of headphone, if it works well with CDP. Or maybe theres no real problem at all whistling.gif .

I suggest listening to the SHP-895 for at least a few hours before passing any conclusion. The stuff that makes it sounds superior can be hard to pick up.

but that guys say no replement for this problem beccause when i buy not check if properly ..........sad.gif damn bad luck............

Really can't claim warranty? shakehead.gif

You could try asking members who are used to solder fumes and DMMs to check it out. Problem with the 2.5mm part of the cable is abit tricky since the locking plug is proprietary.

The guy with the SHP895i could fix it.

Just play music for 8 million hours or a day or so.

Even if you don't burn in your headphones, it'll burn in by itself after a while.

That's what I did, and mine sounds so much better than my other friend's SHP-895. Try it then you'll know. There are noticeable improvements especially bass response and mid-range sounds more liquid.

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?
*
SHP895! rclxm9.gif . But if you go to Grado FC, they'll go SR-60!! rclxm9.gif

If you're trying to make a decision between those 2, I suggest you try both first. At this level, it is not as objective as a graphic card purchasing decision.

If I were you I'd go for SHP895 first since its RM100 cheaper, and I'm poor.

I hope it improves on the SHP895's vice clamp, and maybe make the pads more "breathable". They look even bigger and bulkier on pics compared to the SHP895 O_O

Yes, the headband kinda hurts my cranium. No problem after a little mod.

I'm not sure about other PDA. Dell Axim is different b'cos it uses the same DAC as one of the Ipod model. This is stated in www.aximsite.com. In fact, I've compared it (PDA > KSC75) with AV710 > LD2+ > KSC75, the difference ain't that far.

No shi'in? I bet it'll be better with a line out adaptor. Why not even digital out for use with external DACs since its a PDA.

Well I'll know what I'm getting if I'm ever looking for a PDA.
