Mackie 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2004 philips hp890 More than decent sounding considering the price and especially so after a few easy mods. However, this model is a close back design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charismatic 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2004 So what's next? Any better cans around the HD497 price? another senn loh, HD200, a older model. sounds more detail and accurate than HD497 but it's harder to drive than HD497 and because of the detail n accuracy, it may not be as musical as HD497.
