Well I bougth theese very cheap phones (before head-fi) they were 10 € if I remeber corecktly..

And today I found them laying in a draver covered with dust because I have not used them in ½ a year and I thougth what the heck, lets try to have some fun..

I hooked them up with my Ipod and Ibasso T2 and started to listen, holy moley do theese cheap phones play well with a proper amplification, straigth from my Ipod they do not sound like much, but with the amp. ! I was stunned...

They were detailed, smoth mids, and not the deepest bass but quite good, the highs was also quite good...

Does anybody here at head-fi have theese phones ??
because I would really like to get confirmed that I am not going insane or something worse...

If nobody has got them, then some nice head-fier could maybe try buying them just to make a test ?? They are so cheap that it really can not destroy anyones ekonomi..

Please try them and let me know, I am going crazy here...

I'll bet that they could beat the crap out of ksc-75..

hi
want to ask is you still think the shp1900 is that awesome (cause the post is quite old)
 
yesterday I compared it to dt880 and... well the beyer sounds better but not $300 better
 
asking because in your profile i saw you have the dt880

Both the SHP1900 and SHP2000 aren't as bad as the price point might indicate. However, they should only be considered if budget is extremely limited. Some people here have used the SHP2500, but they have resoldered the cable in order to remove the volume control, since it lowered overall SQ.

This is my first fullsize headphone. I use it with my HP mini and my samsung corb txt. mostly play rock and pop music. It is very light, has a very good sound and loud enough and deliver more details than my earphones. My ears(upper part) gets sore sometime after a quarter of hour maybe  because its inner pads a little bit hinge to my ear and my ears have a contact with the pads. maybe due to the pads that too small for me so that it feels like it hinge to my ears or maybe my ears need to adaptation with it.

Volume controls lower sound quality?
 
I'm thinking of buying SHP1900. Do they fit all the way around the ear or on the ear?

Found my answer. Around

how about the noises? i mean, i am looking for some cheap headphones that i can use while travelling by train or plane. they are usually long trips, so i'd like to have circumaural headphones that allow me to listen to the music without putting the volume to the maximum. i want a reasonable level of isolation, for the price. i want them cheap because during travels, it's easier to ruin them. what can you tell me about them?thank you in advance!

 

[camoteQ]

Tested it earlier. Sound quality same as @Clause-DK had described. Noise isolation is not good, earpads is not that thick to isolate the audio and noise. My in-ear KZ-ED9 does a better job isolating the noise but not that comfy for longer (travel) use.

My first over-ear headphones. Ugly in every aspect (sound especially). Sennheiser HD 518 reminded me of them so that's why I'm so bitchy about HD 518.
There is however a way to mod them. Simply cut out the dampening grills and leave radiators exposed. You may also put some wool in the cups just in case. After that they become decently resolving but their frequency balance goes down the drain. Use EQ and they will sound like $50-80 headphones.
