I was wondering if others had a similar outcome of using some Gepco D72401EZ thin profile, dual pair balanced audio cable and Neutrik Mini TRS. The TRS is nickel plated brass. It doesn't matter what headphones you used this wire on, just if you notices some similar effects of the wire.   I...

Well, I feel like I've done about everything I can to my PortaPro's and I've got a few soldering irons handy. I'd really like to try my hand on a recable.   Any suggestions on which cable/plugs to buy (I think i'd prefer a braided cable and an angled plug but if i'm better off not getting...

Hi all, i'd like to buy a music/gaming Headset or Headphones+mic for about 50$ (less is better :D). I don't own any dedicated soundcard, just a Realtek ALC883 in the motherboard. As i don't want to spend more than 50$, i'd like to buy from free international shipping sites, like amazon.co.uk...

There are quite a few online shops in the UK selling a "Koss Portapro-BBC", they look to be standard Portapro's but are all black (no blue/red housing), and a black and white cable.   They are slightly more expensive than the standard Portapro's and have an "enhanced frequency response"...

Hello all, I'm new here   So for the last couple of days, I've been searching for a new pair of headphones to use with my mp3 player (Zune HD). After a lot of reading, comparisons, and eliminations, it now all comes down to the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 and the Koss Portapro. I know their price...

Whats up guys, and gals, straight to the point here, i want to bet a friend of mine that the koss portapro ill be getting can take on his beats by dre solos, the regular ones. what do you think, a friend of ours is going to be the judge, should i go for it, or are the pros no match for the muddy...

Is there a way to get leather ear pads on them? Which ones are the most compatible? I've never been a fan of foam earpads.

even the porta pros are being faked.. http://www.koreanstown.com/2009/11/warning-fake-porta-pro-discovered/

Hi, I have a pair of Koss PortaPros, and to me they sound better without the stock ear cushions, and would like to purchase some closed ear cushions for them, preferably leather. Do you have any recommendations for closed ear cushions that would fit my PortaPros? Cheers.

Hi all,   This question lead me to join the forum after a period of lurking.   I am a complete novice to high(er) end audio,and am restricted by both ignorance and budget. I have only recently discovered the wonders of lossless audio codecs and by those means am realising the value of...

So i finally got FA's dba-02 after months of consideration. So far I did notice the amount of detail is very precise and the seperation is superb but i'm still getting used to the piercing trebles. At first when i got these, i was thinking is this a fluke? $200 dollar phones sound like these? So...

FEEL FREE TO MOVE THIS THREAD TO THE CORRECT CATEGORY   Hi, spare me I'm new   I was modding my old PortaPros and the results so far are quite interesting so I want to share my story.   I'm tinkering on my PortaPros due to sniping some old "VIVANCO SR75" (old Audio Technica ATH-2...

any recommendations for heaphones a level or two above the koss porta pros? maybe with a bit more sound isolation but must be able to play very well umamped from a ipod, also, portability is a factor, price? under $200   thanks!   James

First of all, I know that compare these two is a great mistake. I know there are huge differences between them, but I'd like to compare them for a simple reason: I own the first one and I'm thinking about the second one, because my Portapro died curled in a bus seat (damn you, bus driver!).  ...

Portables, clip-ons, canalphones or earbuds, I don't really mind, as long as they're comfortable enough to wear for hours without being irritating. I apologize for registering just to ask a question, but it'd be really appreciated.

OK maybe the cords to short for a home rig, and maybe there are some issues with the headband, but I dont have a whole lot of hair, despite what my avatar pic might indicate..   Got my Porta Pro's plugged into the Sparrow and they are rockin it.   Lot's of tight quick bass, mids are...

Hi everybody, I have horrible luck in general, and I've already killed off two sets of headphones in the past 18 months at work. Its not like I was stuffing them at the bottom of a backpack or anything, but I'll be listening to my headphones while doing office work and maybe move too much...

Well the title says it all really

Hi audiophiles, awhile ago I started a thread "Has the Koss Porta Pros changed in sound?"   The reason for the question was because of the bass which I was expecting, was weak in the set I received compared to what people online were all saying (deep bass, overwhelming, etc).   Friendly...

As some of you have seen in this thread, my first real headphones had a cable defect, so I broke them and put them on YouTube as a warning towards everyone who wants to buy Skullcandy products. After that, I went to a big electronics store and tried the various cans that were there (some...

Koss's marque headphones PortaPro SportaPro KSC75 KSC35 (thanks Goratrix)   Which would you pick and why? This is picking out of the current models that are sold today.   I would pick KSC75 because its more durable than the new PortaPro and doesn't have that reverb issue the...

So what do you think of the looks on these 25 year old phones? as for me, I'm in love with its retro look

Hi all, It's been a while since I posted here! I'm looking for a pair of 'phones that I can run with, and it seems to be more difficult than I'd imagined. In-Ear headphones, like the westones I have, are useless because you hear a thump everytime your foot hits the pavement. Earbuds are...

  i'd like to mention that bestbuy has a pair that is similar to the 25th anniversary but the same price as normal ones. they are all black. the only difference between the bestbuy pair and the 25th anniversary is the packaging/coin which i didn't care about. the cord is also different than...
