2100 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) PC Show 2005 at Expo. Just got 2 pcs. They still have 2 pieces left. Also, IR cordless headphone at $58, looks not bad. AAA batts. Also got in-ear earphones, 3 for $10, shared 3 with my colleagues. The whole booth sells Philips stuff. Edited June 2, 2005 by 2100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2100 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 which booth is it? Yeah, sound is not bad even considering against my HD600/650, only sounds quite a bit more muffled and upper treble is very coarse..... can play very loud (i just whacked it with Telarc's Tchaikovsky 1812 with SACD's 120dB headroom...hehehe....). 106dB sens and taking 1.5W power. Booth? Just look for something that sells all Philips headphones, its nearing to the back, center part of the hall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idkfa 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2005 LOL. Only a bit more muffled? That is bad. Upper trable coarse? Badder. Loudness is not an issue with phones isnt it? But I am sure the Philips are comfy. As for sound... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charismatic 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2005 An update to all forumers, Bought one set yesterday evening . Please note that all those mentioned below is my personal impression to the HP, YMMV. It's value for money; consider the build, the accessories (HP stand) and the comfort of wearing. My first listening impression to it is that it has a relaxing sound and a big headstage (soundstage) so it suitable for prolong wearing and listening, can use it as my game HP . It got a bit of out-of-head and sound-suddenly-appears-from-nowhere sound reproduction effect, meaning that you could hear the sound effect hidden behind your head where in other HP is from the side of your head; this effect is rather obvious if you listen to New Age music. The HP cable is detachable, so it's possible to "upgrade" it with better quality cable. There is also an 830 selling for $40. The 830 has a more forward and unhidden sound and sounds similar to Senn HD200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds tighter, more focus and the body(image) is thicker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
