That don't fall off. I'm using them for sprinting and will be throwing them in my backpack often so durability is a must. I don't like iems. What are my options?

Will the moisture damage the ie80's if I take them to the gym ?   Will I better off buying a Koss PortaPro or KCS75 for my workouts?   Please feel free to recommend another headset if you think the two Koss models are outdated.   Thanks.

My mom likes to sing songs on her iphone and record herself. She's using the earbuds with mic that came with the iphone 5, but she wants something over the ear and better. The budget I've set a budget of about $50, but if it's really worth the extra money to upgrade, we can go over. We like...

I'm looking for something portable that sounds great for Metal/Thrash/Punk Rock. The SR60i's sound absolutely amazing but are kind of annoying to take out because of the long cord. I was thinking of the Portapros because they are cheap and supposedly sound good. Are the mids as forward as they...

Hey. Im looking for headphones for work (im a programmer). looking for some thing which will prevent as much distraction from the outside as possible. And, i need to be able to wear it for hours with as much comfort.   Music i hear : country, classic rock, classical. i dont hear any hip-hop...

Both are in about the same price range at the big A, so these are the two I'm looking at. I'm just looking for a portable, comfortable, and good sounding pair of headphones(that I'll be using with either my Android, Sansa Clip, or Cowan D2) for work. I listen to mostly jazz and blues, but i do...

What would be the best option for gym usage? I need something practical, not very expensive

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...

I knew it was around here someplace... I just found my old portable CD player. It's an Aiwa XP-500 manufactured in June 1995. I quickly listened to it from the headphone jack and from the line out using my Super Mini V4, my PX200s and my PortaPros. It sounds pretty good but I don't have time...

Anyone know where I can get a pair of these at a decent price? I've always wanted a pair of portapros, so i think I'm going to go with the black ones instead of the originals, if i can... I mean I'm sure I could open a thread in the market here and someone will have a pair to sell, but i want...

I've had a pair of Sportapros for the past 4 years and my main gripe about them is they start to hurt my ears after an hour or so.   I purchased some Bose AE (I know they are hated here) because they are very comfortable.  Problem with these is after an hour or so, my ears start to sweat.      ...

Hey Everyone!!   I'm a complete novice when it comes to phones and solder.. but I've been wanting to turn my KOSS PortaPros into a headphone/microphone combo for my cellphone. I dont neccesarily want to attach a boom mic.. I'd much rather it be the hanging mic that's part of the wire.   Any...

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...

Hi, I purchased a pair of Koss PortaPros a month or so ago, and for the most part I've been really happy with them. However, I've noticed that every once in a while for songs with heavy, sustained bass, I get a little buzzing in (I think) just the right earphone. I use them with a...

Well, personally even though portapro is NOT meant for sports they work just fine since I use them for jogging. However, their 'sturdy' built quality "cough" broke when I tripped. So I got my sportapro and tried em on to see if there is any kind of difference.     Built Quality and...

For comparison, I have previously owned; Sony MDR-V6, Koss PortaPro, Grado SR60 and SR80. All without any dedicated amplification usually straight out of my Optimus CD3400 cd player (raved about in Stereophile 15yrs back). Primarily listening to industrial and metal. Anything from Metallica to...

Hi everyone!   I am a newbie and basically my requirement is: - Headphones under $50 - Good bass with decent highs and mids - Listen to pop, rock, gospel, hip-hop, rap - Should be comfortable to have on - Should work without needing an external amp - Source of music is a Creative...

I regularly run with my headphones. IEMs are horribly uncomfortable for me. I sweat a lot. I had the HD-25s for over a year and they were great but they were recently stolen. I really enjoyed the clarity of them but found the soundstage a little lacking and I wanted a bit more bass.    Would...

Hi!   I would like to share with You my recent thoughts regarding headphone's sound stage.   I like to distinguish two types of listening to music based on level of attention I pay. For each type I have a different gear with specific sound properties. First case is when I sit and listen...

Hey, I could use some advice regarding portable headphones. I did some searching on my own, but I didn't really spot anything that really fits my particular needs.   I've been a long time user of the Koss Porta Pros as my go-to portable headphones. Sound-wise, they've worked perfectly for my...
