Personally, I prefer the stock pads. The Yaxis pads are comfortable but a little thicker/denser and muffle the sound a bit. Also if you get two colors (like blue & red for L & R) don't let them rest touching or the colors will bleed into each other. I use a pair on my KPH30i phones.

Yes, I have several pairs and they all have trouble with loud or impactful bass. Currently listening to Pink Floyd Echoes KSC75 with partsexpress headband. magical. :smile_phones:

Sprota Pro headphones speakers are black like KSC 35's and they are cheaper than Porta Pros. Ill have to look into the replacement speakers on eBay.

Forgot a couple. KPH30i and 25th anniversary Porta Pro.

A few from my Koss collection. KSC-35 with parts express head band, KSC-75 with parts express head band, original JCK/100-S (from 1985 before Porta Pro name), Sporta Pro, and Porta Pro. Just showing off .

To my ears the KTXPRO1s sound very similar to the KSC-75's and KPH30is sound very similar to Porta Pros. On my head KPH30is are more comfortable than Porta Pros and my KSC-75'S with parts express head band are way more comfortable that the KTXPRO1s but I have big head. I like them all and keep...

KOSS KPH30i and iPod nano

My KTX Pro1 phones sounded great. They were just incredible uncomfortable (probably due to my big head) i never could get them to lay flat on my ears. I should have held on to them and modified/swapped out the head band.

If they released a version with the KSC-75 drivers I'd buy them too. To my ears the KSC-75's sound more balanced and flat. These do sound very similar to the PortaPro but with less sparkle. I kinda like the beige. Reminds me of computers from the early 90's.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before so bare with me. The other night I was listening to my KZ-ZST's and noticed a slightly tubular sound in the higher frequencies. I tried a little trick I used on my other iems. I just pushed the tip down as far as it would go bringing the grill...

No I didn't talk him down. They are mint and only a few years old. I thought it was a very good deal

My HD650s sound great connected directly to my Sansa clip but my phone barely has enough power to drive them. They really shine when connected to my FiiO E10K DAC. Just my 2¢

After months of poking I finally convinced my friend to sell me his HD650 headphones. He asked me if $90 was too much :-)

OK sat down and did a little better comparison between the ED12 and  ZS3. I like the response curve of the ED12. To my ears it seems to be a little flatter but can't even compete when it comes to soundstage. The bass heavy ZS3's have a great soundstage but the bass while clean is just too much...
