Looking to replace my Sony's MDR V500/V700 with something new.
Mixr's wouldn't work for production. Oddly, I still find them the best sound profile of all the Beats headphones I've tried. More balanced, somehow. I don't like Beats in general, though so that's not saying much. Have you checked out KRK 8400s? I don't know how much they cost now, but I really...- kleptolia

Try the Koss Pro DJ-100s. The bass isn't really heavy, but the sound is reasonably clear. If you're a DJ, though, you might be looking for bass cues. In that case, you might find the Pro DJ-100s too quiet for you on the bottom end. I hate to say it, but there's always Beats Mixr's. They are by...- kleptolia

Koss PRODJ100: Headphones by which all others must be judged!
$43 on Amazon right now. Can you get a better set of phones for $43? I submit that you cannot. I have become a sort of fanboy for Koss as a result of these headphones. I worked at Best Buy and finally got a set of these after trying a couple of pairs of Sennheiser headphones. (Not the...- kleptolia

Why the Beats Hate?
I don't mean to trash talk beats owners. If somebody likes a set of headphones for the way they sound, I don't care. I'm happy for them. I will admit, though, that I don't like to hear people insist that Beats are "the best" and that nothing else comes close. This is a result of clever...- kleptolia

Woah. I'm getting poked at with grammar lessons by a couple of guys who then begin to talk about their "fursonas"? On a headphone forum?! I don't know what kind alternate reality I've stepped into, but it's WICKED cool!- kleptolia

Yes! Hypothetical speakers are THE WORST! Save your imaginary money and pretend to not buy them!- kleptolia

Well, I can't hear them from where I am, but they look AWESOME! It's like you have two actual speakers on your head.- kleptolia

Why the Beats Hate?
I I think they got away with it because they were advertising "Beats audio" the headphones and eq could be considered a "package". They did replace the display in time, though, with another display that had no "comparison" module.- kleptolia

Why the Beats Hate?
Yeah, having worked at Best Buy I can say that even the sales reps aren't aware of what's going on with Beats audio. I wasn't, at first. I had to look into it. A really dirty trick is that on the displays (which are provided by vendors, not Best Buy) they have an audio jack so you can "compare"...- kleptolia

Why the Beats Hate?
I don't mind beats. I worked in Best Buy. I got to try them all. I thought the studios and executives sounded ok. However, not $300-500 ok. As for reliability, the first generation was garbage. The second generation fixed some of the problems, not all. The executives were actually reasonably...- kleptolia

The ear pads are already new. The guy had replaced them, listened to them for a couple hours to test them, and then sold them. He likes bigger, around the ear style phones.- kleptolia

Koss HV/A1 headphones
Just got these today. Love them so far! One thing I notice, though, is an ever so slight rattle in the left ear on some, but not all, bass notes. The bass in these is far more powerful than I was expecting. It's very controlled, though. Does anybody have any thoughts on these? Does that rattle...- kleptolia
