Sorry to revive this ancient thread. With these mods you're into this for $60-$70. How do these compare to other headphones in that price range? Thanks.

Can you elaborate on this please? Thanks.

If you add resistance to the KSC75 it smooths out and sounds even better. I have a 75 ohm adapter cable that I use with all of my Koss 60 ohm phones (KSC75, KSC50, KSC35, UR40, A250, Sportapro, Portspro)

If you could find some used Koss A130's here on the FS forum you wouldn't be sorry.

Some of my favorites, past and present: Dead Can Dance - anything This Mortal Coil - again, anything Poe - "Haunted" Tori Amos - "Scarlet's Walk" The Golden Palominos - "Pure" Portishead - "Dummy" Steve Tibbetts - "YR" George Winston - anything (but I especially like "Summer") Alison...

If you can find a used pair of Beyer DT831's you should be able to get them for well under $100. Although no longer in production, they are one of the best sounding closed cans you can buy.

Ok, I just noticed that the KSC55/BKH3 do, in fact, use the titanium version of the Koss 60ohm driver. This means that they should sound very similar to the KSC75. All you need to worry about is the fit.

My vote goes to the Beyer DT831. They aren't made anymore, but still show up for sale occasionally.

If you haven't already, you should check out Saint.Panda's excellent closed can review here. BTW - If you can find a pair, the Beyer DT831's are an incredible sounding closed can.

Well, I am still quite intrigued by these. I am in no position to buy these right now, but surely someone is curious enough to give them a try. I mean, these could be the next, best deal ever.

I have always been enamored with the DT531 but have not had the pleasure of hearing them. I do, however, have a pair of DT431's which I like alot. Have either of you ever heard the DT431 to be able to compare them to the DT531?

I'm a huge fan of the whole Koss 60 ohm lineup. What I think sounds best is the KSC75 drivers on either the PP, PP2 or SP headband.

First of all, a proper greeting...Welcome to Head-fi, sorry about your wallet! Now that we have that out of the way, you might also look at the Philips HP460. Those who have heard it say it is very comparable to the K81 and many seem to prefer it. It's also cheaper than the K81. As for...

I don't buy it. I really think this is just an Ingrim thing.

Haven't you stated, however, that you regret getting rid of your UR40's? Quote: Originally Posted by kramer5150 Everything Ive sold has been sold for good... dont see myself wanting a DT770, MS2 or MS1 again any time soon, since my RS1 incorporates sonic characteristics of them...

I can only compare velour to pleather and in that comparison there is no contest, velour wins in a landslide. I have a feeling, however, that real leather would easily top them both.
