Nice idea - Thanks! Just wondering... Who gets the Stax SRM-323a ?? [/ATTACH]

Aw, shucks - I missed them! How much did they ask for them? I've got original ESP-950, and an alcantara/red leather/'fast' foam Vesper pad set I use all the time presently. Very comfortable, but I'd like to hear something maybe in between their distance from my ears and that of the stock Koss...

m'kay... I've a late generation SRM-313 (2 Pro level out), and I know why there is a ground wire connection on the back - I just haven't figured out what I wanted to connect it to. Output levels have always been enough, but where 9-10 o'clock on the E-90 is loud, around 1 is about the same on...

Gosh, that looks a lot like one I have in calfskin... :)

And... I took my calfskin bag, 6 C-Cell holder included, to work when I first got mine, and ruined several of my coworkers for listening to their A-T, Senn, Bose, Beats, etc headphones. Fellow I was working for today said it well - you don't know what you're missing until you try it. At least...

A Stax 725H extension cable was 4x the price Koss was charging, the 925H (silver!) was 10x. Koss have a ways to go before they catch up to Stax. Just sayin'...

Does it have a transformer? is it three wire or two? Not knowing the words to Basket Case by Green Day _might_ introduce a hum. Past that, I can't be sure what your issue is; sorry...

Maybe a bit overkill, friend! Maybe you've got a better deal with them, but I'm seeing $82.69 AUD for that. Yikes!

Yes, these are in a special league, have loved mine since end of 2016 - original Koss version, but (except for the pads) they are the same. Massdrop were selling a 220V adapter early on, might have helped you out, but the selection shows 'sold out' right now. As barondla states, folks were...

Re the stacked volume control... Silver sharpie in a groove when you've got them lined up, quick cleanup with isopropanol. Turn them together, easy to see if you get them out of alignment. The more gear you put in the food chain - even of the quality of a V281 - the more chance for signal...

Oh well. Maybe I should have tried before they 'fixed' the ordering system. I guess this is the kosst of their newfound popularity. I'm impressed, the 95X are stock at Massdrop now. Probably surprised the ssoks off the Koss ppl... OKoss, I'm done...

_that_ is a line I've been trying very hard not to respond to...

Well, I just spoke to someone at customer service. Extension cables in stock, and my price would be $20 each. Today. She was familiar with the Massdrop 95X, and said the only 'cushions' available from her were the original stock at $5 per pair. Good luck, Darin.

Is this a step toward getting MD to offer either/both kinds of pads? Just wondering - has anyone tried asking Koss if they have the velour pads for sale? Not showing in accessories/cushions - just the stock ESP950 cushions show there. To get the extension cables requires a call; maybe they do...

For those curious about acquiring the MassDrop earpads (like I am...), someone [Markus??] started a poll on their Site. Search Koss ESP/95X, see 'Poll'. I just made it 5 votes vs. 2 - the latter looking distinctly like Vesper. Maybe start one for the Koss to Stax adapter too; CEE_TEE was looking...
