I pinched the the foam inserts out. Now one of the thin cloth disks that cover the driver grills is just a tiny bit not so strained as the other one. I must've pinched it thru the foam insert and it's no longer snug fit on one side (by the smallest margin). No severe folds, really. It just...

Well, I am quite happy with my K81 (140+hrs of pink noise on them, foamies removed) out of my iriver T10 unamped. I want to get a backup pair, but they are no longer available for me. What about the K181? I've read everything I could here. 1. The K181 SQ is superior, right? 2. The K181...

OK, MY HD280 hurt their eyes, but what about THEIR manners hurting my ears? I wear these uber-isolating but really huge'n'ugly cans in public primarily not_to_disturb_them_with my_music (and secondly, cos of those peasants screaming over their cells, their earbuds leaking sound like hell...

Gonna buy me a pair. Or, maybe, there are newer better products in this class/$$$ range I should look into? Isolation is *very* important. TIA

1. If I remove the foam inserts in the ear pads, will it effect the isolation level? 2. If yes, by how much? I really need as much isolation I can get. I could experiment myself, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get the foamies back in.

My HD590 havnt seen much use since I got me the Philips SHP895. Actually, I dont like the HD590 for standard reasons here (shrill highs, recessed mids, bump in the midbass). Recabling and amping are not possible for me. I can trade it for the K81DJ (I would like to have a closed portable). Will...

Subj TIA

1. KSC75 unamped + iriver t10 = loud enough for me. What about k81DJ? 2. Is k81DJ an upgrade in terms of SQ over KSC75? How do the compare? 3. What about k81DJ noise isolation compared to KSC75? TIA

With Creative Zen Nano Plus + Ksc-75 unamped it was loud enough for me. What about iRiver T10? TIA

Do these have the same drivers? TIA

Any info on this? Does it use the HP1000 drivers? SHP895/8900 drivers? TIA

Any feedback appreciated. TIA

My Philips SHP895 (32om/106dB) are connected to the Revo 5.1 headphone out and I'm quite happy with SQ and loudness level. Any sense to put a resistor inbetween to reduce distortions and improve SQ? TIA

Not loud enough. Firmware version 1.11.01. Maybe I have a European firmware version? Is there an American one? Where to DL it? Will it be louder? TIA

Hi Will I get enough loudness? I ma also toying with iRiver T10, T20 and NEXX NF-315. How do the compare to the Zen Nano Plus in terms of sound quality? Thanks

Hi Gonna use the KSC75 unamped. For $75 I can afford I can get me: 1. The Creative Zen Nano Plus (7 mW) 2. The Nexx NF-315 (10 mW) 3. The IRiver T-20 (14 mW) How do these compare in terms of sound quality? What chipsets do they use? The Sigmatel (I heard its bad)? Now comes the main...

Any info on these? http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/s/s...97_pss_aen.pdf How do they compare to SHP895? Are these reincarnation of the HP890 model? TIA

Hello I own both. Do these cans share the same driver model? The reason I ask is the sound is way too different and is IMO way better with SHP895, beating HD555 or even HD595 (at least in the bass department). Or is it just acoustic design that makes these babies sound sooo different? I read...

hi I seem to have a problem with a female cable jack in the left phone -- the sound dissapears from time to time. I checked the cable itself -- it's ok. How can i disassemble the phone? thanks

Hi I am quite new to this forum. I've been a happy owner of SHP895 for half a year now and can say they sound way better to me than my good ol' Senn HD590. The bass goes down lower, mids are not recessed and highs are not shrill. And the bass punch is better too. The soundcard I use is...
