ljokerl, just wanted to say you've done a downright amazing job here! Keep up the good work! Earbuds are always hard as no store will ever let you try them for obvious reasons, a review/comparison like this is a godsend. As I personally don't want to spend more than $30 because I don't want...

My headphone is still in one piece, probably because I reinforced it. And finally my thread appears. I figure it deserves a kick now.

Quote: Thanks, but I still can't find my thread. Should I post it again?

Could my problem (http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/512478/where-s-my-thread) be related to this? I read something here about pre-screening, maybe that's it?

Quite a while back (31 july 2010 it appears) I tried to post a thread. It was about reinforcing Philips headphones in the DIY section.   I'm still waiting for it to appear. I have no idea why this thread is illegal, I tried to write up something helpful. I do appear to have a photo album...

I've got both the Philips HP1000 and SHP9000. They sound pretty good (especially for the money) but they have one, very big, downside: they are really fragile. I've already had to trash one HP1000 because it simply disintegrated.   The weakest link on the HP1000 are some screws in plastic...

Thanks And wonderful.. The HP1000 is beginning to sound better Bass seems to be a little stronger now.. I wonder what happened. Result of burn-in or the brain's built in equaliser.. Or both. It might be not such a bad buy after all.

Well.. Maybe we can forget about all of this. I've been stupid (and still am, I guess), I feel bad about it, I made the wrong choice. Please don't blame me, I searched though google and forums for days to make this decision. I had no idea I could be so wrong. It's true I couldn't find a lot...

^^kick No, I didn't forget this thread! Quote: Originally Posted by freefall101 I had pretty much the same dilemma.....and the money that I'll save by not buying the upgrades will go towards other aspects of life. My 2 cents but from what I've read so far it sounds like we're in a...

I wasn't sure if I had to start this thread in Amplification of Headphones, but since I'm asking about a specific headphone, decided to go for headphones. Since the cable of my AKG K101 is a bit broken (my fault ), I'm looking for something new. The Beyerdynamic DT880 looks interesting to me...
