    Review by 'ODDEEO' on item 'Koss Pro4S Full Size Studio Headphones, Black with Silver Trim'

    ***UPDATES WILL COME AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF BURN-IN***     I recently ordered the Koss Pro4s and PortaPros to add to my collection. Both of them arrived today (3 days for shipping) and immediately I ran into some quite difficult packaging. The covering over the box had been glued to the box...

    looking to upgrade my prodj100

    I even think they're better than the M-50s. I tried the new AKG K240 MK 2 ($200) and immediately returned them. The Koss are WAY better.

    Just because they cost less, doesn't mean they are not as good. The KossRRODJ-100 are on my list of top 5 headphones under $300

    The LOUDNESS switch - Why turn it off?

    I've been using AKG k240 monitors (circa 1985) that are supposedly 600 ohm headphones...

    I currently own Koss PRODJ100 and 200, and I can tell you right now that they BLOW AWAY the momentum headphones. I don't know about the HD 598 though...

    The LOUDNESS switch - Why turn it off?

    I mean, it only sounds like an amp when the loudness switch is on. I'm used to listening both ways, and there's no way that what I'm hearing without loudness is even similar to what the headphone output of the board, in the studio, where the album that I'm listening to was made. No "pro" mixing...

    The LOUDNESS switch - Why turn it off?

    But if it sounds exactly the same as the direct output from my computer without loudness, then what's the point of having an amp at all?

    Finally switching to dedicated HEADPHONE (preferably tube) amp... Any suggestions?

    First, before we start naming amps, I'm going to make some clarifications. Let's list all the things I want in an amp first. 1. It must be sub-$1000 2. I need something that can power my 600 ohm AKGs, and possibly some HD-650s or something like that (I might be getting some).' 3. I need...

    The LOUDNESS switch - Why turn it off?

    I just can't picture people mixing albums with that kind of "iPod" sound... I've used headphones plugged right into headphone outputs on professional boards before, and it definitely sounds a lot closer to the sound of my amp with loudness ON, not OFF.

    The LOUDNESS switch - Why turn it off?

    The mix, (without loudness) in my Nikko amp sounds like all midrange. With the loudness on, it sounds like a perfectly "flat" signal... Just with more POWER, not VOLUME.

    The LOUDNESS switch - Why turn it off?

    Important info that may have been ignored: My amp sounds no different than the output of an iPod until the loudness switch is ON.

    I guess my loudness switch works differently than your loudness switches...

    The LOUDNESS switch - Why turn it off?

    And yet people have been telling me that "loudness is just a boost". To me, it brings the amp alive. I don't know if it's my amps, or headphones, but it sounds a ton better with loudness on. I'm not one of those bass-head kids that likes beats by Dr. Dre or anything... With loudness on, the...

    The LOUDNESS switch - Why turn it off?

    I just find it really weird that with the loudness off, it sounds just as "amplified" as the direct-out from my laptop... These are all late 70s "Hi-Fi" amps btw...

    The LOUDNESS switch - Why turn it off?

    So, in the past few days, I have been studying about the loudness buttons on different amplifiers. I have never really put any thought into it before... Every amp I have ever used has always had the loudness switch on ALWAYS. NO QUESTIONS.... I always wondered why it was even there at all... I...

    AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?

    Some of them are even closer to 35+ years old! My father bought a pair in 1978 and is still using them as his main headphones 35 years later!
