Greetings guys... i'm looking for a pair of head/earphones for my laptop that costs below RM100...

the candidates so far are:

Koss KSC75
Sennheiser HD201
Philips SHP805

Which one should I get? thanks in advance...

Never heard any of those... but from the review, I vote KSC75.... coz cheap and sound good, and also can be portable and modable....

Let's wait until I tried the super moded KSC75 from Bro Scottie... that i can tell how it sound like...

what sort of music do you like?

imho, 201 and 805 canot fight with ksc75....

ah.. so 2 votes for KOSS.... will look into it then...
thanks guys!

cool! do let me know how it sounds.... i usually listen to a little metal and also trance...

personally, i have d all of those 3 ear/headphones, koss ksc75, sennheiser hd201, phillips shp805. plus d shp2700 n others.

fyi, d phillips shp805 have been replaced by a newer model, i think shp2700, if not mistaken.

so u still can purchase it in d bulk section, or from those shops which still has d old shp805 stock.

if u would prefer portabality n a good pair of earphones n budget constraint, purchase d koss ksc75. u would not regret it.

it would be different experience to use a ear/headphone.

personally, for a budget of approximately rm100, i think(my opinion), d philips shp2700 would be a better choice.

i had heard SHP2700. It is really impressive at its price tag.

Koss kcs75 is only a good budget model for portable usage.

HD201 lack of bass, shallow mid. Too weak sound, muffy..

I will pick SHP2700 anytime if i dun care bout On-the-Go style.

my vote also goes to the Koss KSC75.

but if you want comfort with good sound (not as good as KSC75, but good enough) id say go for the Philips SHP2700.

i dont like clip ons coz i find them very unconfortable at times...especially KSC75 clip ons..ugh....hence the reason i did my Franken PhilKoss

oh.. i don't really need portability since it's only for my laptop...
where did you guys find the philips shp2700? so far i have only seen the 805 on sale in shops...

EDIT: looks like there's some1 selling the shp2700 in this forum... pls ignore this post....

for Metal, i think super modded KSC-75 sounds really good according to Bro Scottie...

Bro Madman mod of franken phillkoss should resolve the comfy issue for home usage but maintain the sound quality. I don't think people will bother modding the KSC-75 if they don't have those hidded quality to explore.... and also a lot of headband mod of KSc75 can be found in head-fi.

=(
my own modded ksc75 were borrowed by yuheng....

lol, if wan cheap, just order from d bulk section, i think davis is bulking it, should be around rm80(if not mistaken) or just buy from shop @ price tag of around rm90+ i think.

har?davis got bulk ksc75 meh?

coolerthings bulk that.

sorry for d confusion, i was refering to the d phillips shp2700.

ts, he's selling it for only rm80, d last time i bought it at allit, it was selling @ rm99. really worth d buy from davis.

i vote for shp 2700 if without amp and kcs75 if pair with amp

poison time.. =P

wonder PcDude done my fren ksc-75 o not
but i duno he want it stock or recable version, might give him as gift since his bday near

u should contact yuheng, listen to modded ksc75.. =P

dude, come over my place, listen ksc75(pc-audio modded)+ PPAv2

u will know wat is the maximum for ksc75, it may have the chances to pawn ur ELAC, be careful

actually ah....i should have passed my PhilKoss to yuheng yesterday to pass to PcWork to try out......

totally forgot about it

hahaha
good..
can i mod it if i have some wild idea?
hahaha
=P

Where you live?? Kinda interested

I think you should listen to PPAv2+KSC75, crazy sh1t! Anytime of the day pawns you SR60 to floor.
Now I am seriously reconsidering wanna sell my PPAv2 or not liao

Any crazy idea of taking out the clip cos it very painful to me too.

go get some ayam brand cheapo headband headphone
use the headband and hot glue on it
or buy px100, cool headband

erm....i have some idea

only way i can think of is transplanting it to full size headphones lor...

other than that.... find some cheap foldable headphones, and try to find a way to stick the KSC75 onto the headband....at least ull still have portability....

haha... Pls dun mentioned my SR60 now. I am listening more to a RM50 philips headphone oftenly.

Goin to sell it off once i satisfy wif my new baby. Dun worry, no intend for high end model still. GAGAGA...

i think this still have potential to go up .=)

I have both the ksc75 and the hp805. Comfortability wise, both is quite ok not bad. Both sounded pretty decent unamped too. Amping them, would be a good idea but that will definitely affect your budget. Sound quality, both sounded pretty different. Which one is better? I am not sure, but the ksc75 sure gives a better first impression than the hp805. Some songs sounded better on the ksc75 and vice versa.

You think you can mod my hp805

Modding is available if you have the creativity.

KSC75 is highly potential if you are willing to spend on amps and sources.

got any modded pics??share share

u should try the PCdude modded one.... I can't say anything apart from just stay quite and listen with burning chest beating fast.... If i was in my room, I think I can't just sit and listen....

Really good one... and also the sound sig... Actually I prefer this one for my type of music instead of ES7...

Sennheiser HD201 cannot match at all?
KSC75 good for clarity? Will it comfortable for people who wear specs?
I also considering below Rm100 headphone/clips/or whatever as long comfortable and good to listen the to clarity.

You can bend the clip a bit la to make it comfy. No critical listening yet, but from the first impression... the clarity is good.... the bass as well.

well well well.... look what's happened to my thread when i'm not around! it's now filled with mod talks...
































hehe j/k... after some thoughts i have decided to go with the shp2700....
again thank you all!

PCwork n me is wearing spec
so u think is the clip bother?

Since you have tested shp805 and shp2700, do you find any different between them? Or is it practically the same?

how much all the 3 headphones cost you ?

I think ksc75 can modded a lot type version each of it has the different potential and significant sound....good stuff..

yeah..Haha.. Still thinking to mod SR60 too. Dunno does it worth to make such change or not.

even now i'm ready to modd my sr80 haha...anytime Bro Pc free

emm, sorry.. ask a question here, do you noe where i can get SHP805? afaik, philips has stopped production on SHP805

lol, just get the ksc75 and ask bro PcWork to recabled / mod, seriously it pawn many higher end earphone..

I just listened to his recabled and modded (or so called 'revived from death' punya ksc75), my eyes also wanna pop out.. seriously sound great, even side by side with 580 in vocal songs, it doesn't loss much, but of course don't expect it to be better than 580 in vocal la, but in metal song (test it with metallica song), it pawns 580 miles away hahaha..

The revived from death punya ksc75 has deeper bass and less bright than the recabled ksc75 (if i remember correctly, too many headphone he let me tried, even the AT M30).

Now i wanna get a ksc75 already.. thanks to PcWork haha..

ANYTHING would blow the Sennheisers away when it comes to metal la.....

i even prefer the cheapo Philips HP250 for metal compared to the HD595 or even the HD650

Hehe, sorry for the needless comparison then

mADmAN you're right. I just got myself a KSC75 and listening to Metal now is like nothing ever before!!! Compared to my previous Spark Plug, I can wear this for hours comfortably, and I don't feel like wanna take it off forever.. ahhaahh
