as soon as this thread gets closed because of beeing to large, it would be great if dsnuts will start TWO new ones. One for on-/overear headphones and one for iems.
Prices have dropped on quite a few items on Amazon Japan right now. Yen has fallen or is being kept low against other currencies, depending on what you read.
Either way, cheap Yen means big deals for us buying directly from Japan.
To bad I don't see anything I want right now or I have it already.
talking about amazon jp, this seems a good deal too. same drivers as the B2 and UE700 for under $100

Yup, I found my portable headphones....
KOSS SportaPro Headphones,Convertible Over-The-Head or Behind-The-Head
They are essentially the Koss Portapro's (same drivers), but they only cost $20! No, they are not going to knocking my ws99's off their lofty pedestal, but they do sound ridiculously good. For $20, these should be in everyone's kits - they are definitely going to become my "grab and go out the door" headphones.
To learn a bit about them (and to get completely sold on them), watch this first couple minutes of this modding video. Here's a few pics:

... I wouldn't be surprised if the CKS77X is better than the CKS99. ...
Before getting nutty with this headphone stuff, I only used headphones for biking , and my headphone of choice was the portapro (not recommending riding in traffic with headphones, kiddies, though I did find I could always hear everything I needed to around me with the Portapros, approaching cars, etc). At one point I had to replace them (didn't know about the lifetime guarantee), and decided to save a few bucks and bought the Sportapro. I believe they are the same driver, but they didn't sound the same to me. I much preferred the Portapro-it had a more focused, solid bass, rhythm was more solid as well, and I wound up ditching them for Portapros in the end. Don't know about the mods, though, maybe that changes everything...

[size=small]The sound is coming out of the bass very rare for a BA type.[/size]
[size=small]Resolution of the midrange is high (¯ Д ¯) and is was surprised to have a listen for the time being [/size][size=small]I think people have not used only dynamic type of low-priced until now and be amazed! [/size][size=small]The bass is not so much 'д `; [/size][size=small]It is not recommended for people who like bass coming Zudonzudon.

[/size][size=small]Driver is apparently using the good parts, but housing that is easy to convey the vibration is not good. [/size][size=small]Balance of parts, poor assembly has diminished the value of the merchandise. [/size][size=small]Waste. [/size][size=small]When you are seated, it was not felt in the earphones up to now, the placement of the instrument is visible? [/size][size=small]You can. [/size][size=small]You let me hear sound image that I did well, high-resolution, sound dense. [/size][size=small]Is it a characteristic of dual-balanced armature driver this is, or whether only the characteristic of this product, I do not know for me amateur. [/size][size=small]And vibration suppression of the housing replacement and earpiece, room to tweak a lot is left. [/size][size=small]I think what on whether take this, evaluation of the product will change things.
