Hi fellas,

Seems everyone's raving about SHP-895 so I was wondering, compared to a cheaper model say the 805(which is about $100 difference), what would you say the plus points of the 895 model?i.e. where does the pricing difference go to?

I tried googling for a review on cnet-asia and epinions but unable to find one. Is the 895 known differently elsewhere?

Forgive my ignorance, I dont have much experience with headphones so I hope someone can enlighten me.

Thx for the info thedoctor. Appreciate the lowdown. I'm wondering if you're a doctor by profession or a fan of the motogp champion . I respect both of em in any case

Just some clarification on certain matters(seems more I ask, more questions I have sorry).

Can u pls tell me how long the 895 cord is?Reason is, if i finally decide to buy this I'd need a headphone with a cord no less than 2Ms cos thats how far my amp is from the wall i will lean into while watching tv.

When you say, headamp(I reckon this is for use of the 895 with a portable player i.e. walkman, mp3 player etc right?), is that the diy set as per your sig?

Any idea the market price of the 895? I know some forumers r selling them but how much does it retail at shops?

Thx again.

Thx PcWork & thedoctor, for your responses.

In regards to cable length, I think 3-4m should be just fine for me. I suppose all I have to do now is come out with the money

Off topic a bit, btw, good to find a motorcycle racing fan here. Valentino Rossi is definitely the man. After Honda and Yamaha, hope to see him as a champion on a suzuki one day

Thx again everyone.

Thx wlteng,
Good review
