Well, I know there's the topic for advice, but as my doubts were very big, and it was getting quite hard to everyone to keep track of it, I decided to create this one. I'll PM a member of the staff to block/delete it, when it's not needed anymore. I now have a Meelec M21 as on-the-run...

Build Quality is key here. I did a recable for this same friend and he managed to hook his knee (???) into the y-split and completely rip the wires out of the cups and snap the headband all in one go. There are a lot of great budget-fi options out there for under $50 but I need to know which...

We've all been to some of our favorite companies' websites, right? Well, when I started on Head-Fi the first thing I wanted to pick up was a Koss Porta Pro, so as you can imagine I visited their website often. And while I went to the Product Select button, I felt like I was in the Matrix. The...

I'm looking for a bright/semi-bright full sized or over-ear headphone, with large soundstage, decent instrument separation, detailed, with good bass, that doesn't overlay the sparkle of treble. They can be open or closed, I just want the best sound for my budget. I'm not at all a bass head, but...

I've never liked the Apple 'buds' and liked the in-ear version even less (don't like putting things inside my ears), but man I miss the inline remote for volume/track/pause control. I would love to add such a feature to my recabled PortaPros to make them truly enjoyable as portable phones. Has...

Hi I am thinking about making my first major audio set up. Does anyone have tips or suggestions for me?   Main headphone - Adeze LCD-2 Secondary Headphone - Sennheiser HD 650 (Won an auction new for around $365, buying soon)   Portable Headphones Koss PortaPro (Already own) Koss...

Hey I'm a student from a little country called Kenya (Jambo) and I'm in need of some new earphones or IEM's, which my Sis can send me from the UK. I have a Zen Style 100 (with Sigamatel audio chip :-) with Sony MDR NE2 earphones I purchased here in the country. The thing is that I absolutely...

I created this account solely to ask this question, because I'm paranoid.    I listened to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKw61eDQevo) on full volume and didn't realize how loud it was until I took my headphones off.  People like 20 feet away were looking at me and telling me to turn...

I never thought I would say such a thing  . My Porta-Pro cans still sound good to me and can be driven nicely directly from my BlackBerry. But, I now desire a pair with a more natural presentation. Requirements are:   A) Not more than $80   B) Not more than 4ft cord and terminating in...

Wow!!!!   Just got my KSC75s this morning from Amazon. I've been reading so many rave reviews the past few days that I was really expecting a lot from these little $14 headphones. It didn't seem there was any way they could live up to my expectations.   But they absolutely do! As many...

Ok,   So I am going to buy these real soon, but as they are my first full size headphone, I am wondering, how are they in comparison to Koss Portapro's and Sennheiser PX100's.   Is the difference immense.     And just a question. Is there more bass in M50's, cause I've always been...

I am looking for a pair of headphones that are $50 or under (don't hesitate to recommend something thats even $20). They will be used constantly. For Podcasting/radio monitoring audio while mixing, movies, music, gaming etc..   There are a couple catches though. They can't be Sennheiser or...

I love these Koss PortaPro headphones, but since I use it for workouts it gets exposed to a lot of sweat.  I haven't had problems with sweat interfering with the drivers/sound(unlike my MEE M6, UE 700s and SF5v2), but the cushions just suck up all the sweat and gets soaked.  I try to wring them...

I know there are threads existing on this comparison but I never found what I was looking for... Can you guys who have heard both compare the bass, mids and treble of these two? Which is brighter/darker relative to each other? And are they both darker than neutral?

Hello, I'm looking for a headphones. I mostly prefer with neckband. I found a few : Koss sporta pro, sennheiser (pmx or px). Maybe you now better headphones ? Price  ~45dollars. I need comfortable with good sound quality and good sound isolation( i now its not the strongest option for...

Finally think it's time I found out what the Grado sound is like. I've been using a little PA2V2 amp that has given good results with Koss Porta-Pro's and my old iPod. Have also been satisfied with the Koss's directly into a BlackBerry playing Slacker.    Don't know to go with the 60i that...

I am nowhere close to being an audiophile. But I DO know what good sound is.   Why do people go around with these crappy apple earbuds? Or these skullcandy's, beats by dre etc. Just why? I mean, as a head-fi member I can't stop myself from trying to talk some of my friends into trying some...

Hey guys, been coming on the forum for a few years now but never had reason to post. Until now....   I'm looking to buy a set of budget headphones for DJ'ing since my last ones broke. I have a set of Reloop RHP-10 that will cost around £35 to repair so I thought instead I would just buy a...

I find circumaural headphones too sweaty, so I'm currently looking around for alternatives. My questions: 1. How hot do supraaural headphones get? I've tried clip-ons before and they seem ok, but I've never tried the ones with headbands. 2. Generally speaking (or at least around the $50 mark)...

If you ever used a PortaPro, you may have the problem (issue) that the headband reverts to the unextended state when you put the headphones on (around) your neck. Simply, is there a way to prevent this from happening?   Thank you very much.

I spent over $600 to setup my current system and expect to spend a few hundred more for a DAC. I think I won't get a significant upgrade without spending at least twice more compared to my current system. So, this is my point of diminishing return for headphone systems. I'm curious where you...

I'm curious about some headphones to use while riding my bike and I don't like earbuds.   On ebay the portapros are $50 in the US but they are $100 in Australia.  On headphones.com.au they are $134.   Are they for sale anywhere in Australia for a reasonable price?

I'm looking for a decent set of headphones in the approximately $30 price range. From reading around the forums a bit, as well as Joker, and ClieOS threads, I've found the Meelectronics M6/M9's, as well as the Brainwavz M1. Are there any other notable IEM's in this range? The use would be for my...

Hi there! Please excuse me if this thread is in the wrong place or if I am breaking any rules, I'm new here. Recently my Koss PortaPros cable's jacket (I think it is called) had been pulled too much (I presume) and caused the right headphone ear to stop working, but it works if I twist the...
