My new headphone... Niceeeee~~~

last few months, my SonicGear HS800 got broken wire inside after a few rotation of the speaker part of the headset (i wonder why they use low quality wires while the design is adjustable...) and somehow i managed to repair it... but the replacement wire itself snapped again after a while... then i gave up on repairing it because it's not an easy task... without soldering paste, it's almost impossible... really....

so, yesterday... i go and find replacement for that headset... And I stumbled upon this Philips SPH2700 in KBJ and looked around to compare the price... the lowest I can find is RM85 and after some thoughts, i bought it anyway... based on the spec given on the box, it's freq response is 18Hz - 28kHz (yup, extra bass and extra treble) and the sensitivity is 104dB with 32Ohm impedance... maximum power output is 1.5W (i wasnt very clear on the last three features, i dont know what they do)... other than that, it provide me with 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter and 3m cable length...

Okay, time for my review... i've heard few good things about Philips headsets, but i still doubt it... i got to try it for myself... back at home, i tried it and it does sound WOW!!!! whatever they say in the spec is true... yes, i dont have the tools to measure the freq response but i do heard sounds of musics that i haven't heard before with any other headset including SonicGear HS800 and it does sound great... i like this headset... whatever they said on the box, is most likely true... the extra bass and extra treble sounds from such instruments are clearly heard...

other features that i realized after using this that is not on the box is how lightweight it is... my last SonicGear HS800 used to be quite heavy and wearing it after a while actually make me tired... this headphone seems to be half of the weight of SonicGear HS800 and the only setbacks that you'll experience are it grabbed your ear quite tightly that u might feel uncomfortable at first and the size, you cant freely lying down with the headset on your head... well, all headsets are not designed for that purpose...

anyway, my conclusion... the powerful sounds + lightweight, it does makes RM85 looked cheap for this headset.. however, if it features gold plated jack instead of chrome plated, it will be more cool...
