Yeah, I find that even adding very small amounts of rolled tissue to the stock pads adds way too much reverb to the mids. It's like it gets loose to the outer edge of the cup and bounces off the aluminum. It looks to me, without owning them, that the m50 pads open op the ear space, but the not...

Sting "Bring on the Night/ When the World is Running Down." live in Paris 85' with the Kenny Kirkland crazy piano solo.   On?    Koss Tony Bennet Signatures - Spotify premium, extreme setting,  iphone 3g.  

The Tonys are passing the Donald Fagen " The Nightfly" test with flying colors.   Tyll is right about the papery highs. Sometimes crash cymbals are a bit electronic sounding.   It's really only a minor thing when considered with how pleasing the overall sound signature is.   I burned...

Radiohead Now there's some manic vocals for ya.  

Scored some TBSE from Tuesday Morning for $50!   It's a KSC on steroids. I'm really digging em'.  

Well, one of my favorite bands...

My Tony's love my favorite band, XTC! Currently just killing it on XTC's "Drums and Wires" Unlike my HTF600's. My ears aren't reaching through the bass to get to the vocals and guitar tones. I find those to be the worst rock headphones ever. Very frustrating, like trying to listen to a...

Listening to Talking Heads "Speaking In Tongues" on my old Iphone 3g with the Wolfson chip actually sounds BETTER than through my Onkyo home receiver. Much better separation and soundstage. Well worth 50 bucks.   I love this album by btw.

Got em'.  

Just got off the phone with my local Tuesday Morning. They have the TBSE in stock right now for 50 clams. Now that truly is an offer I can't refuse. I'm gonna go get my Tonys now. 50 bucks, detachable cable, case, lifetime warranty, and I'm already a KSC75 junkie. It would be wrong not...

Thanks.   Hd380 would be great if semi open and less darkness. HD518's seem to compare favorably to the HD558's. I'm looking to spend 150 or less now.  

Ok, Bump.     Am I headed for a pair of Grado sr80i's? I listen to a lot of genres, saving country music, which should never be listened to on a headphone, or any type of speaker in private or public.

Ya know,  I have to say I gave these another burn session, watched a few playoff games with em', tore off the driver foam cover, and they have opened up a bit. The soundstage is good for the price, and the details can be coaxed a bit with burn. Just don't expect this to be a hard rock phone...

Thanks for the replies, btw. I have a budget Onkyo receiver that sounds quite nice with the KSC75's. Just tried out the HD380 Pro at BB. Direct out to my IPhone. They sounded bumpin' and very Sennheiser. BB has the most jacked up demo network ever, and you're best off unplugging from their...

Just got cold feet on some Dj100's for lack of removable cable, which seems to be a growing sticking point for my next purchase. Tried some KRK 6400's today at GC and they were pretty cool if a bit analytical. Good stuff though.  

^^^^^ Thanks, I am going to do that when I get my replacement. Left driver went all stoopid, and I'm sending it back to Koss with my $9.  

Quote:   I'd read that fo sho.

Scratch that. I got cold feet on the coiled non detachable cable, and am going to wait for a stoopid good deal on some TBSE.  

Amazon just made me an offer I couldn't refuse, and I snagged a pair of 100's just now for 39.99. I own KSC75's and they are ridiculously detailed for 15 bucks, and now it seems I may be getting another steal.

So, I'll take that as a no...

I like the signature and separation of the KSC75, but the bass extension is low. I have the HTF600 with Beyer Pads and found them extremely confused when confronted with busy midrange, but suitable for watching movies. I listened to the DJ200 and thought it was fairly decent, but was looking...

Quote:   My exact same experience with these. I bought them a year ago with the Beyer pads, and I can't tell you how disappointed I am with them. Cloudy and confused when the mid range gets busy. These cans hate Van Halen. When David screams, Eddie's wails, and Alex swats his Paiste...
