    Vintage Koss Pro 4AA and Pro 4AAA frequency response tests

    DKossZoSo I have a question   What are the differences in sound between the Koss Pro 4 AA and the Pro 4AAAs? [the originals,not the titaniums]   I noticed Neil Diamond wearing them on one of the gatefold photos inside his masterpiece album The Jazz Singer.   The driver design looks similar...

    The official record-cleaning fetish thread!

    Great design,but would never use alcohol or Jet Dry on an LP. Jet Dry is a water spot remover for glass dishes and is very acidic.   Alcohol in my opinion is one f the most damaging chemicals to apply on vinyl.My Blog below teaches what and what not to use as I've been an LP collector for 30...

    Tony Bennett Signature Edition Headphones

    I was running them on a Yamaha 300 watt amp,at first I thought it was a question of burn in,but after a month,no improvement. While listening to Stevie Nick's Bella Donna on vinyl,sounded like Stevie was singing through a cloth,somewhat muffled. I believe anolog is exceedingly better than...

    Tony Bennett Signature Edition Headphones

    Here's my update on the Tony Bennett's:   I agree with Tyll describing them as ''papery'' sounding,they may be fabulous for digital use,but not analog. The vocals sounded as though someone was singing through a rag.   I'm a vinyl fanatic who hasn't owned nor played a Compact Disc in years My...

    Tony Bennett Signature Edition Headphones

    Nothing indicated that thier limited editions,I think Koss would want to sell as many as possible to re coop thier losses,specially after thier former dragon lady took them to the cleaners.Just surprised no one has reviewed these yet after close to a months release,Amazon has no users comments...

    Tony Bennett Signature Edition Headphones

    I left a comment on Koss's Facebook page stating ''I plan on purchasing these next week,are you sure these aren't just DJ100s with Tony's name stamped on them,if so that's quite a price difference''.I never recieved a response,so I'm assuming they are.

    I'm buying these next week so will let you know how they sound .Most listeners of the Pro DJ100's complain of it's lack of bass,but Koss claims the Tony Bennett's are an improvement with ''dynamic bass'' as they describe them.

    Well said Zombie!,the pro 4 aa's have superb bass for the models age [never listened to the T's,but look like thier using Pro 4 X drivers],I only wish thet still made the liquid filled pads. I remember Radio Shack carried the classic Pro 4 aa's for years,and is actually where I bought my first...

    Tony Bennett Signature Edition Headphones

    I've been using the Pro 4aa's since 1978,and remember my first pair had liquid filled pads [some sort of oil, possibly mineral],and were easily removable unlike todays models.   The pro x's had a slight improvement in sound,were labeled ''digital ready'',but were cheaply built,and easily...

    Tony Bennett Signature Edition Headphones

    Thanks,but the A-250's you suggested have been discontinued,is open air,[I'm looking for closed]and doesn't have favorable reviews.   I've heard mixed reviews about the MVs,but most users are probebly basing those on I Pod sound performance,and probebly haven't given them enough break in...

    Tony Bennett Signature Edition Headphones

    Has anyone heard these yet?,I'm about ready to order them from J&R Music [The Koss Tony Bennett], just wondering if thier actually DJ 100's re packaged?.   Also,how to they compare to the MV 1's?,another headphone I'm buying. I'm not planning on using them on an I pod,but on my home...
