    Whoa, this rap sample coming out my V6 rattles my skull

    So, I'm a still n00b. I've had my V6 with velour pads for more than a year and have been reading this forum for even longer yet I still never got around to ABXing (blind-testing) some songs to see if my satisfication with my headphones and other audio equipment and files are because of the...

    KSC-35: one cord longing than the other?

    Whoa, the cord for my right driver is an inch and a half longer than the one for my left driver. Is that weird or what?

    KSC-35 being discontinued again?

    So, I called Koss customer service because the clip on my month-old pair broke (I suspect that one of my intoxicated friends broke it while attempting to figure out how to put them on). They told me that they'd give me a replacement, but in the future they could only give me a pair of KSC-50's...

    KSC-35 broken clip?

    So I bought my KSC-35's from the Koss website re-issue a month or so ago and the clip on the right ear falls off easily. I can pop it back on, and it feels pretty secure, but whenever I bend it into the position to put them on, they tend to pop out of the socket. Does anyone have any...

    I wish I could wear my headphones all the time!

    See, I have long hair and it sucks when it blows into my mouth or in front of my eyes. But my V6's (with the Beyer pads) are perfect for keeping my hair in control. In fact, they essentially serve the same function as a hairband (you know, those St. Louis Arch looking things) except I can't wear...

    What next? $200 budget upgrade

    Here's my setup: Winamp (MAD) -> Audigy1 -> V6 (Beyer velour mod) I also have a MX500, Sporta Pro and a KSC-35 on the way. I used to use them with my Sony N1 MD player, but they've fallen into disuse. I might get an iPod next year, but for now portable use is a very low priority for me...

    Where to get KSC-35?

    I got a pair of SportaPros, but I think I'd like the 35's a bit better. Where can I get them? I know they're discontinued and all that. Wasn't there a guy on some other forum that was selling them?

    Where to buy V6/7506?

    Etronics doesn't seem to sell them anymore and I can't find anybody selling them for less than $90. Any ideas?

    How do you put on SportaPros?

    The upright position is pretty simple, but how do you wear them properly when you have the headband in the behind-the-head position? The only comfortable position seems to have the headband in a horizontal position, but this makes leaning your head back quite troublesome. Is there any...

    Tactile marking earbuds

    So I got my MX500 about a week ago. Very nice. Impressive bass for a pair of buds. The only problem I have is that there is no way to determine which bud is which channel simply by touch. Sure, I can just make a cut or apply some tape to one bud, but that's not very classy. Any suggestions?

    Cheap MX500 and SportaPro?

    I'm looking to get both of these headphones, anyone know where I can get them cheap?

    SportaPro pics? Comfort, mod?

    So what the hell does the SportaPro actually look like? They're supposed to be streetstyle behind the neck right? Headroom has seemingly contradictory front and side pictures. On the issue of comfort, is it possible to mod it to reduce sweating? I appreciate your advice. P.S. - Yes, I...

    Cheap earbuds

    Yeah, Ety's kick ass, but as far as I can tell, the cheapest are like $150 (maybe a lot more, can't remember). So, what does everyone think is the best cheap ear buds? $30-75 range. Let the controversy begin. P.S. - I listen to primarliy rap and heavy metal (yes, I am the ultimate paradox)

    Multi-input single output receiver

    I'm pretty new to the hi-fi scene and what little I know is only about headphones. Anyway, I currently have three computers with Sound Blaster Audigy's and one set of the Logitech Z560 speakers. What I'd like to do is plug in each of the computer outputs into a receiver, using either coax SPDIF...

    Best Open Headphones?

    I already got a V6 w/ the Beyer pads and I need an open pair for when I need to hear my enemies' ninja agents sneaking up on me. Any suggestions? Search turned up a whole lot of indecisive posts. Something under $100. I want to use it for my portable MD player, so I'd prefer models that don't...

    BeyerDynamic pads

    I have a pair of Carvin H40M's and am quite satisfied with them. However, the pads are pretty sweaty. I've seen a lot of talk about getting the BeyerDynamic pads for the Sony V6, but is it possible to use these pads for my pair or any other pair?
