Headphones that I can't live without:
1.) Grado sr-225i
Great for listening to high quality recordings and hearing lots of detail, an all around great pair of cans but lacking a little in the bass section
2.) Klipsch s5i (now called s4 rugged I think)
Great for listening on the go, they make lower bit rate music sound great and they don't break the bank. Their sound is unique I would definitely recommend listening to a pair before buying.

KOSS Titanium what? 4AAAT? 4AAT? 

 

Sorry, I didn't realize there was more than one.

 

I have the plastic-n-foam, US$17, Titanium KTXPro1. I think it's a good deal for the price.

Ah, ok.

 

Just trying to find some opinions on the 4AAAT.

Is this the open or closed one? (So many A's - so little time).

If the closed one - I'd say it's a pass. If it's the open one - I have no opinion and have not heard them.

I have that. Let's just say that i'm a DJ100 fanboy and my 4AAAT is in the closet collecting dust. I hate it.

I don't know why, but it's very muffled sounding and seems to have this weird plasticy resonance or something.

It's kind of hard to describe. I have only maybe 30 hours of burn-in on it. It was a used pair in near mint condition.

 

I tried to close them up but they don't sound any better.

 

Despite the titanium driver, this pair doesn't seem to have enough treble at all. It's very dark. The sound is pretty full, but again, muffled.

 

I think it must require 200 hours of burn in or something.

 

I don't think Koss would release a headphone this bad, so maybe something weird is going on?

 

The Pro4AAT is supposed to be much better i've heard.

 

I'll give the 4AAAT another 100 hours of burn in to see if anything changes.

Sennheiser HD 598. 9/10. I would give it 10 out of 10 if the bass was better, but besides that, it is absolutely fantastic.
