    Been out of the game for awhile, need suggestions

    I've been really happy with my audio setup for the past 4 or so years, but some of my equipment is starting to act up, and I'm looking for replacements. I haven't kept up with the audio world in quite some time, so I'd welcome some recommendations. Here's my current setup:   Macbook Pro ->...

    Sent KSC-35 for warranty repair, got KSC-75s back

    Sent KSC-35 for warranty repair, got KSC-75s back

    My KSC-35 headphones recently stopped working, so I sent them in to Koss for repair along with a check for $6. I know the policy states Koss has the right to replace any headphones with a similar model, but I wrote a note instructing the warranty department that if they could not or would not...

    What do you guys think about the HD212's?

    The 212's have a lot of muddy bass and they are horribly uncomfortable. I suggest the beyerdynamic DT770s.

    KSC75, What am I doing wrong?

    I personally think the KSC-75 sounds fantastic, but I agree that a lot of people way over-exaggerate the sound quality. One thing about them that REALLY annoys me is in both pairs that I've owned, the right earclip starts to fall off really easily.

    Grado comfort?

    Grado's won't clamp down on your ears like the HD202s do. They are MUCH lighter. Some people find them uncomfortable because they rest on the ear, and the foam cushions aren't too plush. I find them to be comfortable enough, and can wear them for 2+ hours without any problems.

    Koss KSC35 troubles...

    The left channel on my KSC 35 no longer puts out any sound. I suspect the cable is the problem but I'm not sure. Will Koss honor the warranty on them? I bought them used awhile back, so I don't have proof of purchase, and the earclips are borrowed from KSC 75s. Will I still be able to get them...

    Razer m100 pro

    I was led to believe that they were rebadged EP630s, so I bought a pair. I wasn't impressed with them... bass was bloated, overall not very detailed, and the tips didn't fit me well. The mediums were too small, the larges were too big. Although I guess they're only $20, so not much harm in...

    Newbie stereo question

    I'm thinking about buying a Super T-amp, but I had some questions on the set-up. I was hoping to use the line out on my iBasso D1 and connect it to the T-amp. Would I just do this using a mini to RCA cable? How do I know which channel is right and left?

    Just lost my Sennheisers today. :(

    Do you still have the KSC75s? Those have a lifetime warranty...

    Hm.... Legitimate?

    They sell hideous "police sunglasses". I would NOT trust this retailer.

    Phones for College

    Does your laptop have a line-out jack that is separate from the headphone jack? If so, an amp may be a good investment. If not, the Emu 0404 USB would work well, but all these components will significantly increase the amount you're going to spend. Unfortunately, most of the cans you listed...

    Strange Frequency Response Graphs

    I personally find the usefulness of frequency response charts to be rather limited. Its hard to infer all that much about how a headphone sounds just by staring at some lines on a graph.
