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...

I agree bass and mid bass heavy. Not enough sparkle for me. Position does affect the sound quite a bit.

I have ZS3 ED9 but prefer ED12. ATR in the mail. (Adding EDR2 HDS1 to buy list)

Recently received my new pair of ED12's. Plugged them into my phone and gave them a listen but my first impressions were not good at all. They sounded overly warm with harsh sibilance. This is not what I expected reading everyone's impressions. So I plugged them into my FiiO E10K USB headphone...

A while back I broke the clip off of my clip+ (making it a Sansa+?) Anyway I've become accustomed to just carrying the now thinner Sansa+ in my pocket. only problem is when I want to pull it out. I usually end up pulling out my headphones and having to dig in my pocket to fish it out (sucks if...

My wife bought my black 8GB sansa clip years ago mainly because it was small and had good capacity and expandability. She nor I had any idea of the amazing sound it produced and I also didn't have any headphones to properly use such a device so it eventually went into a box full of old cell...

I just heated up the preformed ear hook and reshaped it then I just jammed the connector in backwards and it worked great! 

  OK you did give me a great idea though. I just turned around one the connectors (reversing the polarity in one ear) and it fixed the sound WOW they do sound great! KZ quality control must suck. One earbud is wired out of phase. Ive never experienced this before with any headphone!

Yes I made sure they were connected correctly but thank you though.
