What could satisfy my headphone tastes?
I am still looking for a good portable pair of headphones after getting the MX500's and being very dissapointed....
I got the Panasonic RPHJE-50's and like them except dont like the in-canal feeling for casual use (Especialy seeing as i got alot of ear wax )
So now im leaning towards some well talked about cans... KSC/35, KSC/50 or KSC/75... But...
Which one would be best for MP3 player?
I dont really mind about comfort or staying on as I am probly not using them for exercising or gym or anything...
So... Will any of them satisfy my desire for really good portable headphones?

KSC75, for $15 shipped is your best bet. The earhooks can be bent for a custom fit. The KSC35, if it doesn't fit your ears, you have to resort to more drastic modifications to get it just right.

Yep the KOSS 75 or PortaPro are great portable cans. The 75 are ultra portable but the portapro has more bass and has a three way adjustment for the fit on your ears called the comfort zone.

But the Portapro is so.... Ugly... LOL
Are there any portable (Not in ear) headphones that are better than the KSC/75 apart from the PortaPro and SportaPro?
And where can i get KSC/75's with the cheapest (or free) shipping to worldwide?

Provantage used to sell them for $9.50, shipped to California for $6. But it looks like their price has gone up to $12, as well as shipping. But still that only brings the total to $19 shipped.
