Linux... it's like a wild animal. You have to tame it before you can use it
Anyway, on default settings it pumped so much volume to my poor KSC75s that it blew the left phone out a little. There's a rattling noise now that totally ruins the sound. I won't send em back to Koss because it's not their fault, and I don't live in the US
Anyhow...
The first headphones I bought from here were HD201s, which I was happy with for a while. Then I bought the KSC75s and immediately stopped using the 201s. The 201s lacked bass, and were somewhat distant.
However, the KSC75s seemed to lack some of the clarity of the 201s. It felt like sounds which should be more separated were getting blurred together.
The comfort of the Koss tipped the balance in their favour, in the end. I hated using closed phones for long as my ears got hot and the 201s cup is pretty small anyhow. Hard to adjust so it's not rubbing your ears...
As you've noticed, both of the previous phones I've bought have been inexpensive! I'm starting to get the urge to move upwards a bit... (oh dear). However, being the cautious guy I am, I don't want to shoot for the moon just yet.
I'd like to know if there are any phones which justify spending a little more, but not a *lot* more, than the Koss cost. About £50/ $70 should do it. £50 > $70, of course, but stuff in the UK is more expensive. Actually, sometimes it's a straight £ for $ ratio (we get ripped off a lot).
What I'm asking, in a round about kind of way, is whether I'll notice any difference from spending a little more, or whether I'd need to spend a lot more, given the excellent price/performance of the Koss phones.
Was a long time since I last asked for budget-ish recommendations, and I've seen a few different names mentioned via Google, so yet again it's time to ask the experts here
Cheers mateys,
