Looking for some nice IEM's that fill the same niche as the Koss KSC75's. Basically looking for that IEM gem :)

Hi everyone, I'm planning to ship a a few friends as set of headphones that are across the world. Does anyone know a decent headphone that's under ~$40 that I can buy 5 pairs of? They're not audiophiles, but none of them have over ear headphones that sound decent. They're all using skullcandy...

What KSC 75 mods are common, not too difficult, and yield good results? I've seen rewiring and new pads. Is there anything else out there?

Post a Picture or list the ugliest headphones you have! At this moment, the KSC-75's are the ugliest pair I have.. But then I only have those and the MS1's.. :P

TL;DR a good pair of balanced IEMs below $300 is very rare and that pisses me off   As much as I love my HD650 (which are probably being traded for the HD600 soon, but that's another topic altogether),  I work in an office with eight other people and because I spend most of my day in front of...

What role does humidity from our head and ears have on the headphone driver? I would think that mositure would collect on the driver and thus change the audio characteristics of the headphones. I would also think this effect would be more pronounced on closed headphones compared to open...

I recently bought the Ksc75's as my first step into the headphone world, and I liked their sound. They seem generally balanced (to me at least,) throughout their range, except for some minor stuff with the upper treble. However, I need something portable with more isolation, such as I could use...

What is the BEST Budget headphones you can find for less then 60$?   I need it for home use only   I prefer over ear \ on ear   I listen to rock, pop, rap and a bit of dance   Cheers.

Don't walk... RUN!!! I have no idea how, but APureSound managed to get a stock of brand new Koss KSC35! These have been out of production everywhere for over a year... I am SOO getting a pair to replace my 75s. http://www.apuresound.com/

Hi, I haven't posted here in a long time, but I've been stricken with a case of upgradeitis, so I thought I'd ask for advice. I'm looking for a new pair of everyday headphones to use on the bus/subway. Here are a few details:     1. My current portable setup consists of the Koss KSC75 (which...

Hello,   I'm looking for some portable (probably in-ear) headphones for around £70 (GBP).   I listen to a range of music, mostly folk, rock, and some rap and electronic music. Treble is probably slightly higher priority than bass but obviously ideally I'd like good bass too!   My main pair...

Hello All, I'm still on the fence as to which of the above to buy. I've read a number of post and not reached a conclusion. I've also been informed that the KSC75's are being discontinued. Thanks Mike

I just missed the auction by 3 minutes. A really nice looking pair of HP-1000's (fully functional) went for $45.00 + $10 shipping on eBay. Now, that's $55.00 well spent! I cannot find the link now, as it just ended a few minutes ago. I don't think it's in the completed cue yet. But it was a...

After a month or more of using the ksc75, i can safely say this is the best cheap portable headphone , only e888 comes close but more expensive. Its best for execrising , shopping , sleeping. Listening to ksc75 doesn't make me miss my home rig at all though its techincally inferior. Its a...

My Sennheiser HD515's were showing some age and plus I had serious upgraditus. So my friend got the 515's "he was using some cheap no names". I ordered the Sennheiser HD555 yesterday and got them today. These headphones are very nice. Very comfortable and sound great! I was afraid there might...

Ive spent about 800.00.now my wife has locked the wallet away!

What would you all consider the worse set of headphones you have heard and why? My example is the Senheiser HD-455 I bought these back in the 90's for $90 at Good Guys under the belief that I was entering the 'high end' headphone market. Unfortunately they didn't sound that much...

I found some headphones at Big Lots yesterday that strongly resemble those old mesh grilled audio technicas. But instead of an audio technica badge there was an accura badge. It was so flimsy it almost feel right off but man these things sound good. They beat my Sennheiser HD202's by far. I...

I was looking to purchase some new cheap headphones that I could wear to bed. I have some etymotic er6i's that are alright, but I'm afraid that with something so small should I turn on my side it could get stuck; so I was potentially looking for something that's not an IEM. Also looking for...

Sometimes I have bought headphones that were a big disappointment. I had expected better. My biggest disappointment until now was Sennheiser PX200. How could Sennheiser produce headphones nearly totally clean from bass? What is your biggest disappointment of headphones? Georg

Despite concerns of official distribution, seller reliability, etc, I took the plunge and ordered these puppies from ebay. Impressions will follow as soon as I get my hands on a pair of KSC75's for comparison (will do that tomorrow). Briefly though, build quality seems excellent. They are super...

iM-390 iMetal Earphones Until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of Maximo products or their range of earphones. Then we started putting the Oregon HeadFi meet together and AndrewH offered to sponsor our get together. I have used IEM's/buds intermittently but mostly preferred using the...

Okay, so my new IEM's have arrived. After some fairly extensive listen-in (I am not calling it burn-in, as I am still not entirely sure I believe in it) I have some thoughts on their sound, and I thought it was about time I put finger to keyboard and wrote something about it. This may not be...

Tonight, near midnight, I decided to re-rip a few of my Beatles CDs to see if I like FLAC (I never touched it before, because I was intimidated by the name for awhile). I chose 0 Compression, being the hardcore audiophile I am , and ripped two CDs (Rubber Soul and Abbey Road). I put it on...

do they sound the same? or different?
