with every pair of new headphones or speakers be them cheapo headphones or "real" headphones ive always noticed when listening "critically" both sides or speakers never sound exactly the same. sure the difference is very very very small and hard to notice but ive just always noticed this one...

The Koss Technician VFR is: "Technician/VFR with variable frequency characteristic The Technician/VFR is the first headphones of the world, to which the possibility offers of changing the process of the frequency response of the two transducers. If one places the automatic controllers into the...

Introduction We seem to be in a “golden age” in terms of the number of good sounding, lightweight, portable headphones that are available on the market. Portable music players and digital music files have become the norm. And for many, such as me, IEM headphones are just not an option. In this...

get ready for a review of the koss cheese headphones   james

Hey HeadFi!     I need help in buying some AD700's, after browsing here everyday since I returned my Beats Studio's for xb500's ((thx rpgwizard lol) at least 2 months ago)I have figured out the ad700 is what I want for my next set of cans as I listen to alot of classical and orchestral...

The Koss ESP6 is the first electrostatic headphone made by Koss, back in the Jurassic period. Its age, size and weight make it a veritable dinosaur of headphones. However, to anticipate what follows, it shows up surprisingly well against more recent and more highly regarded products and it is...

Hey guys, just wondering, how good is koss' lifetime warranty? My portapros just died on me, and they've suffered some damage and some heavy heavy use. Here's some pictures =(       The wires have been ripped off, and they've been destroyed =( . I sent them the package containing this...

DISCLAIMER: The title is merely used to grab your attention. Yeah, no. Actually there are simply PortaPro with Sennheiser HD414 pads applied . Some impressions. Please do not use this as a guide towards deciding anything as I have never listened to a factory-state (non-modded) PP.   Story...

I don't know those earphones, but I thought I'd still pass along the email I received from Koss:   Quote:  

Can anyone recommend a fairly inexpensive ear piece molder for headphones?

Hey there folks,   I return back onto the subject of my beloved pair of YH-3 cans. My question is on re-cabling the headphones. After years of love and abuse (they were used in radio stations for years, and the cable has seen its fair share of the crushing force a chair legs) the left...

Hello everyone, I am a new member here. I have had alot of experience with home audio (mostly tube stuff) in the past. I, however, have not been around it for some time. Back in my day, stax were the premier HP's. From reading a little here, stax sounds like the best still. I was wondering...

hello guys,   one of my friends has me found an upgrade of his current CX-500. all he need is an IEM for basshead but higher quality of bass than the Senn's IEM. the clarity of a CX-500 seem to be not good, especially when listening to orchestra or symphony. the budget is under 30 british...

Just as the thread title says.    I got this idea after seeing quite a few pictures of people's collections and set ups. I realized that there was no way everyone will put out a review on every single one they own, but if it's small like this, it could give others good ideas on what they...

I'm looking for a pair of headphones that have a lot of bass and are good for using with my iPod for walking from class to class on campus. I've been listening to a lot of dubstep, techno, hip hop, and rap lately if that makes a difference.   I don't want to use an amp or anything with...

Hi, at low volume levels the phones are fine but as the volume increases on tracks with some deep bass, there's a very noticable rattling coming from the right driver of my K6s,   I have noticed that if I wind the volume up............. past the point where it's comfortable to listen to...

I have bought many pairs of headphones expecting them to be sturdy. I have tried brands known to be "strong" such as skullcandy and beats. My 3 pair of skullcandies all broke, two of which I threw away and one of which I sent in for warranty (SK pro) only to never see again. My beats also just...

I love my Porta Pro's, however, can't really use it often enough as I'd like to because I listen to music on-the-go.   Recently I chanced upon some post and understand that KOSS has the Porta Pro with mic for iPhone.   Not my luck as it is only available in Sweden.   Currently, I'm...

I was in a goodwill store and I saw them being sold 'as is' for $3. So being one hell of an impulse buyer, I decided to blow the $3 and pick them up. I get home to find out that the left cup doesnt work, unless the wire is manually held in place, so right now im heating up my iron and im going...

I have a few questions. These headphones are my dad's which he bought in the 70's. I've plugged them into my Xonar Essence ST, used to my Sennheiser HD428s and not knowing what to expect but acoustic instruments and vocals sound amazing, but with heavy metal and more digital sounding music it...

I came onto head-fi again recently after being away for a while and it seems even more FOTM-oriented. So I decided to make thread on some of the lesser-known gems out there...   My vote goes to the Koss A250s. Some older head-fiers will remember these when Koss sold them off on eBay for $30...

hey, new poster here. sorry if this is in the wrong forum!   I recently found a pair of koss k6s in my basement that were given to me by my father many years ago. I tried them out and they are having issues   when I plug them in, I plug them into a guitar amp's headphone jack.  ...

I found some old koss kp6 phones in my basmement yesterday, and I want to restore them. they are in pristine condition except that they only make sound when I hold them in a certain place in the jack, before that they just buzz. Is there any way to fix this?   thanks!

I've always liked their low-end stuff for what it is, but I happened on a bunch of Koss' lower-mid-range offerings yesterday (I don't believe they make headphones past that point) and I was wondering - does Koss actually make a pair of phones that's decent for, say, close (but not...

Just a quick question about koss' warranty. I'm thinking about buying a pair of portapros, though they are completely unaffordable in Canada, so I'm gonna buy them used for a much lower price. The problem is the seller doesn't have proof if purchase, but he hasn't applied yet for the warranty...
