i think is quiet good for techno music, but is better to get a DJ headphones....  

I don't quite agree with the rest lah. I think the 895 is wasted on techno. Coz it doesn't quite shine imo. The 895 to me is more for jazz, live concerts, movie-watching and stuff that sounds better with some sort of sound staging. And clarity.

I tried techno on the 895 and...I didn't go "whoah!" or anything like that. Merely. Oh, that's nice

I guess the sr60 is still a better choice, or if you want head thumping action with a really cheap price, you can go for the portapro! It's not so earpiercing like the ksc75.

At least that's what I think

go ahead buy ur bro a HP890 ... dun bring him into this forum ever. He gonna find out alot of options.

I did try on 890. It is really a good enuff headphone for ppl who refuse to spent the rest of his life for a better headphone.

1) Well if you rephrase it as such...Yeah it's not that bad. It's just that other headphones would perfomr better laugh.gif The bass just isn't enough for techno somehow. But it's ok. Still sounds good.

2) Dude? laugh.gif Well some have said that the 805 is more comfortable. I can't really say, I only have the 895 tongue.gif

3) Ouch to your wallet. Haha laugh.gif

4) Hm..I got one. If you stay anywhere near ampang, maybe I can let you try my pair. Price? About RM 155 from Sri Com in Low Yat. However, the portapro is pretty bass heavy, and details tend to get a bit muddled. So bear that in mind. I wouldn't say it's the most balanced headphones around. Though it's pretty portable (unlike the 805/895).

5) Well according to mike, and the review he gave in his bulk thread, the 890 only shines if it's amped. And the 895 doesn't benefit that much from amping (I'm gonna concur-I didn't feel that much of a difference, or perhaps it's only coz I'm using a ClassAB. I honestly dunno if that's the reason or it's just my ears aren't sensitive enough laugh.gif ). I'd say get the 895 for the stand! Haha tongue.gif And the fact that you can run it without an amp and it still can sound good.

6) Where can you get it? Not sure of shops. I've never seen it in shops sweat.gif You could try mike or davis. They both sell it

1) To me at least. Not enough head thumping tongue.gif
oh i see. sr60 is quite thumping, haha, so its good. 


2) laugh.gif I figured. Yeah I'm guessing that's the case. The 895 can sorta "clamp" on your head
clamp the head huh? damn, now i feel like going for another headphones, hd555 maybe? hahaha 


3) Then stop buying tongue.gif
stop buying?? hahaha, maybe for a while lah, like 2 months  


4) I actually like how it looks. Retro-ish biggrin.gif
haha yeah, it looks retro, but i still don like it 


5) Haha tongue.gif Man, we can't go out together with the same rig. Else we'd look so damn gay! Hahah tongue.gif Hmm...Now that gives me and idea laugh.gif
gay? quite man, same amps and almost same headphones, damn.. . what idea?? don scare me man  

6) Oh right...Not so sure. Get the 895! Got stand! tongue.gifHuh.
hahaha, i realie like the stand. and i need one too, planning to fabricate one for myself, my sr80, and to be displayed, hahaha  


7) As in hp1000 kinda headphone? Now that's big man!
to wear a hp1000 out on the streets?? it will realie turn heads, for the wrong reason, hahaha
