    Koss A250 - WHOA!!!!!

    So I just got a pair of A250s from a friendly head-fier and **** these things are amazing. Listening with my Cute Beyond I am blown away in a way I never was with my old Beyer DT-880s and M3 amp. I reckon its the phones making the difference. They have all the detail and soundstage of the Beyers...

    DIY open phones with Koss A250 frame: which drivers (DT880, HD650, YH-1, etc.)

    So I plan to diy an pair of open phones using a Koss A250 frame. I am considering drivers under $150/pair. I know that DT880-600ohm and HD650 drivers cost around $65 each, but I have never tried these phones.  I had a pair of Yamaha YH-1 and liked the sound when I put the drivers in a MB Quart...

    Headphones with unusually large drivers

    Hello everyone   I've been finding headphones that have unsually large drivers and I noticed that there isn't a thread for them. (Correct me if I'm wrong) So I thought it would be a good idea to make one.   I'll begin by throwing in the Lafayette Model F-990 with 3.5 Inch (88.9mm)...

    SA5000 highs

    Just got some SA5000s very impressed with detail and soundstage but I have say the highs can be a bit unaturally exaggerated on some tracks. I like bright phones, I am coming to these from a set of Koss A250s. The Sony's are fine on orchestral and jazz stuff but for some rock tracks they the...

    KOSS A250 from KOSS eBay thread

    It seems more than 1 of us ordered the $33 KOSS A250 headphones from the Koss corp. outlet on eBay, so I thought we could do with a thread to document the experience. Mine arrived today, and I'm currently stunned by the performance of these $33 headphones. I read somewhere they retailed for...

    Koss A250 Headphones

    A gem from a by-gone era. Older head-fiers will remember these when Koss let the last stock go for $30 on eBay. Originally they sold for $250. Very good headphones, very fast, forward and dynamic with great soundstage and transparency. Most would call them bright.
