Hi peeps,   I need a pair of portable noise isolating headphones   Like: Portapro's, K-702's, ATH-M50's (15mins in GuitarCenter)   Dislike: HD280's, Grado SR-60, Beats, Bose, Skullcrud     I have been decinding between the Beyer T50p for $190, BW P5 for Full Retail, and the...

What up Head-fi?  Does anyone know about these headphones? Could someone maybe hit me with their opinions on it?    Here are the specs   Style: Fully enclosed dynamic stereo headphones Frequency range: 5Hz - 28,000Hz Impedance: 45Ω Max Input: 2000mW Output Sound Level: 105dB...

I'm looking for a set of headphones or earphones that have good bass, are not too expensive, are vaguely portable and block outside noise very effectively (for anyone who's never had to travel on the London Tube, it is pretty much the loudest travelling environment you will ever come across)...

I'm still learning the lingo, but am getting closer to understanding what I like and don't like about the gear I already have.  In understanding  this, I hope to be able to purchase my next IEMs intelligently.   My musical tastes tend to be a little eclectic and my playlist is "random all". ...

Hi all, first post here but I've been lurking for a while...   I currently own PortaPros and a pair of Senn HD320s.  I'm looking to upgrade, but have no real idea what I should be looking at. My music taste is varied, but mainly classic rock and drum & bass, so I want something which has...

Try this test: Free Online Ear Training - Test Tone Downloads The audiologist I saw only tested up to 8 khz. This is not enough to test the full hearing range. I am only good up to about 12 khz. The only thing I can hear above that is faint white noise. I can perceive a noise, but it's not...

How do these headphones sound compared to more expensive headphones (within the <$250 USD range, closed, and are foldable/able to lie flat)?   I've read many posts by tdockweiler and I just wanted to see what other people think of them when compared to other 'phones.   The general...

Hello,   My problem is that I brake headphones very easily. I have had bunch of Sennheiser HD-595, HD-550, Grado SR-60 and Koss Porta pro  headphones and they usually last 1-2 years. Recently I just broke the frame from my HD-590 and the repair shop told me to send them in. Well, apparently...

After I posted a picture of a friend of mine wearing them I decided to dig them out of storage. I bought these puppies off eBay for about $120 during a FURIOUS bid battle for them several years ago, they are new. They are chrome plated plastic, not that heavy, my Pro 4Titanium's weigh about the...

I'm pretty new to the world of high audio fidelity, but now that I'm in, I'm hooked.  A few months ago, I purchased the AT AD-700s--mostly as a gaming headphone.  After listening to them with music, I've realized how much fidelity I've been losing by using cheaper headphones my whole life.   ...

Does anyone know what kind of wires are contained within the Koss PortaPro's cable? Are they enameled? The PortaPro that I will be getting has the "new iPhone compatible mini-plug", which is straight. I can pickup a Neutrik 90° plug but first I'll need to know whether the wires inside are...

The more I buy, the more frustrated I become.   What I've got: Koss PortaPro - Rock AKG Q460 - DJ, Jazz, Blues, Pop, General Purpose Sony XB500 - Club, Trance, Techno, Eustachian Tube Cleaner       I was considering some Grado SR80i's or AKG k518DJ's to try to cover all...

So after all these years of listening to headphones and chasing after sound and the "next best thing" I have finally decided to ask the question that has long bothered me. Why are some headphones louder than others? Meaning, if I listen to different headphones at the exact same level, why are...

Just a question to all of you using open earpad/full-sizers outdoors... How do you cope with the noise other than turning up the volume? Sheer mind power? I want to get a PortaPro, such a legend this phone. But being open foam pads... I'm guessing that the HD414 pads that I will be picking up...

Okay, I started off with Maximo iM-590's and I loved the bass heavy sound sig. Then, i moved on to stock portapro's and I loved the more open yet still aggressive sound. Then, I modified my Portapro's and this is the soundsig that I have enjoyed the most. The main thing I changed was adding some...

Introduction   Further to my last thread I decided to purchase the 840 after listening to a number of cans at a local store.  After auditioning several cans head to head I found the Sennheiser HD 650 to have the most appealing sound to my ears but thought that the 840s were still quite...

      hello    I  need  some  advice  from  you  about  which  headphones  to  choose     my  price  range  is  between  20  to  35  dollars  .  while  searching  in  the  forum     I  noticed  that  at  these  prices  koss  kostapro  is  the  most  recommended  .     now...

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...

I'm looking to get a pair of gym headphones (one of the ear pieces on my PX-200s broke, so they don't make a good seal). I've been considering the PX-100s and the Koss Porta Pros, but unless I'm mistaken, these are both open. Would these be good for the gym, or would too much noise leak in? Any...

i know music have something to do with your sound preference too,  but i think mainly my sound preference was set by my Koss Portapros,  they are no doubt bass heavy, bright and fun to listen to. after spending some time with the protapros i find it too muddy.   till now , i compare all the...

Hi guys,   I'm looking for headphones under $100 for music criticism purposes. Will be using them for close listening in several, quite different set-ups, so need a flexible/versatile pair of headphones. Music type can't really be pinned down: jazz, krautrock, post-punk, psych, folk, metal...

I just don't understand why nobody has taken the time or the guts to compare the HD800's to a truly worthy headphone. I'm not talking about those pretenders like the GS1000, HD650, K1000, K701/K702, STAX SR-007II or the Stax O2.The Koss Porta Pros have everything, deep rocking bass, lightning...

Hi I need headphones that have the same sound signature as the portapros, but better treble, and noise isolating. Under 100. Thanks mackat

Ok, I'm new here, and you guys convinced me to get a semi decent pair of headphones (Samson SR850s aka Superlux HD668bs), and I'm soooooo glad--I'm listening to Metallica on my crappy bluetooth headphones, and I can't believe how bad it sounds. I can't wait 'till my new cans arrive!    ...

This is a very subjective noob review for people who aren't terribly concerned with pure signal source. I use EQ on my player. I don't compare these two headphones with the same EQ settings. I'm comparing their potential, I guess. I definitely listened to them with the EQ flat...just for kicks...
