Rm350 for hd555... worth it?

invikon — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 08:19:45 +0800

Im wondering, wat is the pricing for a sennheiser hd555 now in malaysia??

Cos at my region (russia) i saw the pricing for a hd555 is about 3k rbl (roubles, currency of russia), which converts to about rm 350... is it worth the buy?

(hd595 is bout 5k rbl which is about rm580... way over my budget)

can recommend any other headphones around that pricing..? i prefer open headphones, usually for listening pop musics (mainly) and sometimes gaming and movies(not very important)

Thanks~!

Help! Crackin sound from the headphone

invikon — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 16:57:37 +0800

I m using a koss porta pro, and recently i ve sense some vibration of metals inside the headphone(left side), only when headphone is producing sound at the range of 50 ~100htz+-.........

There is no distortion in the sound of produced, but there is an additional metal vibrating sound produced and its stronger when the sound volume increases....... It sounds like the there's some metal coils or something inside is loose n knockin on the plastics......

The sound will reduce it amplitude or disappear when i press the headphone on my ear....

Any idea wat is it?? Is there any possibility to fix it???

Hidden folder problem

Help! Unable to open Hidden Files

invikon — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 07:46:31 +0800

I recently found out that my the hidden files menu within the folder options cannot be changed into 'view hidden files'.
Whenever i try to change the option and click applied, the option is not changed, i m still unable to view hidden files....

i ve tried to change the registry manually through the following methods but its still useless.........

1.
*KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

CheckedValue changed to 1

2.

*HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Hidden, value changed to 1

Both the ideas above which i ve found in the net is unusable....

I ve suspect of viral infection which denies me of viewing the hidden files.....
Is there any way to deal with this problem?

version of windows: XP
Anti-virus software - Eset NOD32 ---- scan in deep heuristics shows nothing.....

Koss Porta Pro

invikon — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 02:51:55 +0800

When i look through the nets for headphones, i stumbled into this headphone: koss porta pro.
It is an antique, considering koss introduced it in late 1980s...... anyone who had tried it b4? Many reviews read claims it as one of the best headphone in $ 50 range...

Some claimed seinnheiser's recent px -100 offers sound quality almost same as this model....

I m planning to get one of these, anyone tried b4???????
