Hi everyone,   I recently posted a thread in the headphones section requesting some assistance on how to improve sound quality. I currently own a Philips SBC-HP1000 and a tiny little Fiio E5 amplifier. I wanted to purchase new headphones but most folks in the headphones forum suggested...

... which headphones would you prefer?   [for HP1000 fans]   ---   Regards   Matteo

Hey there. I'm relatively new to the headphone scene and currently looking for an upgrade to my $45 ebay XB500's. What I'm looking for is good, punchy bass that wont rattle at certain frequencies (like my sony's are doing). I listen to everything from classical to Dubstep/Trance and frequently...

   Just ordered a Philips Shp9000 headphone (almost the same as Philips Hp1000) for 60$.      I am looking at getting a Fiio e5 amp for 20$.   Will it run the headphones fine?.,,,if not can you suggest any amps with the 30$ price mark     (I will generally be running the...

I 'm buying these no whatever you guys say but I would liek to know what to expect in terms of sound quality. They're only £10 so compared to my ATH-ES7s at £70 I guess there will be a big difference but I'm buying them for their moulded shape and that they're sweat proof. If no one has as I've...

I love my Philips HP1000 (semi-open). Laid back and detailed with fantastic soundstage. I'm looking for the next pair of headphones that will wow me, and although I have a discerning ear I'm pretty novice when it comes to equipment. Budget is ~$200 (I'm sure my budget will increase for the next...

Even though I've owned headphones for several years, seems I didn't know enough about them, so forgive my noobness. After my old and trusty Philips HP1000 broke into 3 pieces, I kinda had to get new headphones. I went to the local store and ended up purchasing Sennheiser HD595, since they...
