KRK KNS-6400 Review - Impressive $99 Giant Killer - Page 15

I picked these up today. Quite impressive for a 99 euros set of cans. I am now having some second thoughts if I shouldn't have spent a bit more and gone for the Beyer DT770 pro instead. The price and the clamping headband threw me off but the Beyer had a much better noise isolation.

Would fitting a pair of 8400 pads improve isolation? And where can I get them in Europe?

At first I contacted the local "world distributor" which simply pointed me to the store where I bought the cans. Sure enough they got them but unfortunately they're pretty pricey. For instance, the 1.5m cable costs $10 in the US whereas here in Sweden, the store I bought them from asks for about $20. The KNS-8400 ear cushions seem to be about $30 in the US, while the store I bought them from are asking about $43.

We've got pretty high taxes here in Sweden though, so I guess I can't really blame them. I tried looking at Amazon UK, but nothing there. Amazon US got one pair from a seller, but they did not ship to me in Sweden. Not sure where to get them otherwise, I'll probably end up buying them from the store I got my cans from anyway.

EDIT: Re the isolation, I've got no clue.

Also, I'd like to thank tdockweiler very much for his review. So far these have been perfect for me.

Just in case anybody's wondering, these work perfectly with a rockbox'd Sandisk Sansa Clip+.

nice thread here. for producing, and not really listening enjoyment, would you choose KNS 6400 or sony mdr v6?

Just got a pair of these. I have to say, they're very impressive. Thanks for all the detailed reviews.

Does anyone have the coiled cable for these. I was wondering what the approximate unextended length is.

Also I'm not sure if I'm in love with the bump type pads. Has anyone tried removing them and replacing them with something like a dt770 pad?
