That said, are their any other headphone companies that have comparable lifetime warranties, OR can anybody vouch for an IEM model that Koss makes...

    AKG K701 leather headband?

    Hey, I am just wondering if the headband on these headphones are real leather, because I try not to buy leather products. I'm crossing my fingers because of all things this would be a #$%#ING dumb reason not to by a pair of headphones. Besides that I am pretty set on this pair of headphones.

    My tips are sorta coated in in wax with fabric bits embeded on the surface from going in my pocket after use. Can't really pick or scratch it off, so I am wondering if it is safe to dip them in rubbing alcohol or something? or will this ruin them?

    NE-7m tips...

    I literally just got some NE-7Ms that I ordered. Sounds hollow... and midless. Also, the large tips that fit best, and what i normally use, have no bass. The smallest tip seems to fit in loosely but has a good sound, which is weird. Are these supposed to lack mids? Are their better tips out...
