I was watching a youtube video in cable transmission, particularly the basics of impedance matching and at time 6:06 in the video when the video says these kind of things affect the signal in a bad way I could not help wonder if what I did to some of the headphones (a section of the cable made...

I have many of the "budget" good phones and am curious about the ksc35 since it seems hard to come by. I believe the ksc35 is the *not* titanium coated version (titanium = ksc75, ktxpro1 etc which make them brighter). 1) Why is the ksc75 only about $14 whereas the ksc35 is about $50 2) Is the...

For a few of my portable headphones, I would like to add a inline remote mainly for the purpose of skipping to the next track. Volume control / mic is bonus. Is there any good way / part(s) to do this? There are a few apple old earbuds lying around unused and they have a inline remote/volume...

Looking around in glossary / list of terms / google did not help give a definitive answer. I come across this term often "Bass extension". When some review says "bass extension" is not that great, it would be good to know at what frequency and below it refers to, or more generally what it...

If you own more than one of these Koss PortaPro/SportaPro KPH30i KSC75 KSC35 KTXPRO1, it will be nice to hear what your liking order is (and why if possible) and which one you grab the most often from them. I have all of them except the ksc35 and the SportaPro (since I think it is probably...

Can different cables make a sound quality difference? From basic physics, I assume thinner cables should have more resistance (ohms), hence harder to drive and hence should produce lower sound volume (dB)? So between a thick and thin cable, only the sound volume level should be different or...

Why do some very successful / highly reviewed products get discontinued (not just audio/headphones but in any category)? In headphones I am sure there must be many such examples, I can think of a couple like the Philips SHP9500, Sennheiser PX100, Sony MDR-W08 (a sub $10 one in the past that now...

I received a used SHP9500s in the mail today. I have seen people say/complain that they got a SHP9500 when they ordered a SHP9500s. Is it possible to identify (only from the headphone) whether it is a S or not? Thanks.

For listening to noise free good quality mp3 (about 128-256 kbps) or good quality YouTube music videos, does it make a big difference between a ~$100 dollar (or higher) good headphone (say mdr v6/7506, shp9500, grado sr80e, ATH M50x, hd6xx etc) vs ~$30 good budget ones (like koss porta pro...

When I listen to music on YouTube on my Macbook Pro (2015 model), is there any equalizer setting anywhere or any app (free)? Thanks.

Among my headphones, almost all of the portable type (the PX100, KSC75, Porta Pro and the JVC flats JVC HAS160 which I got today), I have gone back and forth and seem to eventually prefer the "warm" (though a loss of sparkle detail) signature of the Porta Pro. A couple of days back I got my...

It is supposed to last 80+ hours on one regular AA battery... any one here has it and can tell me it is true..? It is a 2 GB plater.

I like the recently released sandisk sansa clip. Pretty cool except the bright light on it...

For someone who may be interested, there is a koss ksc35 available on ebay. I thought I will get it, but the price has gone beyond what I would like to pay Sorry this post could have been on For Sale section... but I dont have permissions there yet...

Have had the sr60 for a couple of months now. Bought px100 a week ago and the ksc75 two days back. The ksc75 hype is real! Another member in the ksc75 community! My music listening is 80% from laptop and rest from ipod/at the gym. No amps etc, and ALL I listen to is only mp3 (mean bit rate...
