I completely agree with what has been said, for the most part. Someone suggested the KSC75s to me, got them for $15..and have been VERY pleased. After a bit of use and slight bending, they fit fairly snug to my ear. I like the fact that they sort of snap apart easily..so nothing breaks...

I found some KSC-75s at Circuit City.

Have to recommend A500s.

The diameter is 4.25", from what I measured at least. That is slightly smaller than a CD.

Good comparison...and I would hope the DT880 is better since it is more than twice as expensive as the A500. Edit: Also, I am sure you would have no problem selling your A500 on here.

Welcome to the A500 family. Nice pictures. Enjoy!!

Impressed, from the second I pressed play.

Oh man..my KSC-75s shipped from Amazon crazy fast for super-saver. I orderd them late sunday night, they are getting here tommorow. I am pumped. Do they benefit from break in much?

Yeah, the A500 definitely isn't bassheavy at all. If you like bass a lot, just go for the V6, it is less expensive anyway. With that said, I love my A500s. I'd buy them again.

Yeah..I just put up with them for the time being. Just walking to class, with all the ambient noise..I don't notice how bad they are sometimes.

Just ordered them off of Amazon. Should be a big step up from these . Thankfully I didn't buy those..just borrowed them from my roommate.

What local retailers carry the 75? And what would be the best online retailer to order them from?

Yeah, thats what I thought.

I've looked through the forum here, but I would like some recommendations from you all. My requirements: Under $30. No earbuds. Fairly comfortble. I prefer a neutral sound, not too bass or high heavy. Thanks. Edit: Just FYI..I have some ATH-500s that I love. I don't know if...

I wish I had seen this thread earlier. I would love to come to the next meet, Ill bring my A500s.

Nah, he is quite possibly the most indecisive person I have ever seen.

The A500s are 1/8" already WITHOUT the adapter. And no, what I am saying is that not one would be better for the A500s in particular. One of the players probably has better SQ period, but not because of the headphones they are being used with. At this point..just get the player that you want.

The A500s have a 1/4" adapter, so that would work. None of them would be better for the a500 than the other.

It wouldn't help enough to justify the cost.

Honestly just the 280s then..and no amp. You won't notice the difference and you can get the 280s for cheap locally ( I thought).

I am not even sure if you can do that...

Then just get the 500s and a pcdp.
