DISCLAIMER: I am KZ hater...I very much dislike the KZ house sound with its treble boosted to 11, its lackluster hollow mids and boomy bass. My extreme negativity towards KZ got me banned from the KZ forum on head-fi. They know me as the Marshall Mode guy. I much prefer darker, more forgiving earphones. Build & Comfort: The ES4 is made out of a hard plastic shell and comes with a removable cable. These earphones feel pretty solid, but with such a hollow and large casing I would be afraid to step on them. Comfort is rather good, I especially like...

I am giving this AKG K92 headphone a generous 4/5 because the price is rather low at $59 so the flaws are easily forgiven. Comfort: These headphones are very comfortable thanks to the humongous pads, their light weight and low clamping force. However, people with larger heads will complain about the elastic headband applying pressure over their skull. I am hoping that the elastic band will loosen up over time.

I really like these with pop and rock music. The KSC75 crush the PortaPro. However, I must say that the treble...

Well, I created an account just to review these. So here it goes:   I was looking for an inexpensive (<50$) portable pair after my incipio f38 and my JVC s400 broke down (these are ridiculously good headphones for the money by the way). I got these after I read tdockweiler's review and mod topic. Out of the box, these headphones were pretty mediocre next to the similarly priced headphones I mentioned above. They sounded muffled with muddy bass. So I performed the mod successfully. Removing the pads was easy thanks to my long fingernails (yuck)...
