I know that KOSS is not highly regarded around here so feel free to ignore this if you want.
On top of that I am not a really active poster around here.
Anyway, I have some UR-40s from KOSS that I like because the sound is decent and they are comfortable. Sound leakage is a slight problem but that is about it.
They get used in an office environment listening to music (Rock, Jazz, Folk, and Metal) via a laptop (no headphone amp).
The reason that they are comfortable is that they have this netting that stretches from side to side and the netting is what sits on your head, not the phones themselves. Well the netting has broken (second pair that this has happened to).
Anyway, I am close enough to Milwaukee to take them directly back. Of course I can just exhange them for new UR-40s.
I can however get half there retail cost as a credit towards another model of KOSS. I was thinking about the PRO3AA.
So I can get another pair of UR-40s for $0 extra or a pair of PRO3AAs for $40.
What would you do? Feel free to recommend any sub-$100 KOSS headphones.
Since I only get the credit at KOSS, advising me to get Grados, etc. might be where your heart is but doesn't help me much.
Thanks in advance.
