Hi, my name is Owen and I've been a lurker on here for years. Finally decided to join when I had a stroke of genius and wanted to share a cheap headphone mod with the world.
My interest in headphones started when I was maybe 13. I discovered a nice pair of headphones that my dad didn't want. I know they were Koss but I have no idea what model they were. I wish I could find out as I would like to hear them now and see if they really were good. I think I hot glued them together once or twice when they fell apart. Later on in my teenage years, I picked up a pair of Koss Pro35A's at Radio Shack. In the intervening 18 years I have gone through 3 pair of them. I also purchased a pair of Bose Tri-Ports which had to be taped together after 8 months and after 13 months of ownership started to make some weird noises. The 1 year warranty had run out, so I figured they were a lost cause and threw them away. Big mistake as I later realized it was probably just a bit of loose hair rubbing on the diaphragm. I regretted that, but I didn't regret replacing them with a set of Sony MDR-V6's. They served me for 9 years when the right driver went out and the cable insulation split. I just recabled them today and plan to replace the right driver when the UPS man gets here this evening.
So that's my headphone history in a nutshell. Thanks, I already know about my wallet!
