It seems like a lot of the closed recommendations have coiled cords, which I hate. Is there anything good around $100 that has a straight cord? I'm also considering the HD555 even though it's not closed simply because it's so cheap right now so any comparisons to that would be helpful. Even...

Just wondering. Some of the descriptions of the sound quality remind me of stuff I've heard about the old series and what I heard with the HD535.

I read the sticky but it hasn't been updated in over 2 weeks and didn't answer my question.

Radio Shack has a pair on sell for $69. They say Optimus but they look exactly like the A130 and even have the word Koss on the cord. Anyway, are they worth that much? Anybody ever tried these? I would have listened to them but they had a 1/4" plug and Rat Shack had nothing that was working to...

Could someone tell me how these sound? I was always under the impression that they had slightly rolled off highs, a warm midrange, and recessed bass but I've been looking at some past opinions and have discovered that the bass may be completely the opposite. Could someone clarify please? The...

They sound like they're really good headphones so why did Sony discontinue them? Judging from what people have said they have a slightly forward midrange with a slightly rolled off treble and decent but not overdone bass. They're also closed and can be powered by a portable. Is all this correct...

Any comments on how well they stay on. I've heard they fit really loose and I have a pretty narrow head. Do they fall off if you look down? I wouldn't even be considering them right now if it wasn't for Gluegun pointing out where you can get them for $50. I figured they might be a good yet...

I was thinking about trying to built one. I'm talking about the original with no mods because I'm an complete newbie to DIY. How does it compare to the TA? Is it bright or are the highs rolled off like the TA? I'm probably going to send my HD535's back because they're too harsh in the high-end...

I know no one probably cares since these are old and discontinued but here goes anyway. Anyways, I missed my chance on the 565's and I was too impatient to wait so I thought I'd give the 535's a try. Well the good news is they are very efficient and anything will probably drive them easily...
