Are the grado 225's worth even considering purchasing before having a amp? I will be using these for home setup(from pc/ipod/other non uber sources)....was pretty set on 225's until I started to hear that some of the top end grado's dont sound good w/o a amp.

What would you say are the best headphones ever made, price-no-object. I know its subjective, but if you could have any one pair of headphones to use most of the time, what would it be?

What Koss models use the same speaker drivers, or whatever it's called, as the PortaPros? Also, will all these models have identical sound considering they are the same speaker driver?

Hi   My SR60's broke - the driver gave up, and it wasn't the hair problem.  A repair company has told me they can fit new SR60i drivers in them for £40 ($60 USD).   My question - should I get the repair with the new SR60i drivers, or is there a headphone on the market that you think is...

Hi head-fiers, I'm looking to buy an all-rounder headphone, please help me to find it! Budget: around $150 maybe higher a litte bit if it is worth Used to have: ATH-M50, KSC35 Device: laptop with onboard sound card (will upgrade DAC/amp soon), iphone 5 Music genres: Various Sound...

Since Forever i always had problem with one side of the head or earphone stopping working because the soldering of the cable to the headphones get loose   This happens mostly after 6-7 months of use, the longest they lasted with everyday use is 2 year (Sony) I'm 35 years old and since in...

?

Simply, which headphones were the first you ever used? Excluding things like iBuds and the on-ear foam cheapies that come with walkmans, of course.   Mine were the KOSS K/6X Plus. Got them when I was 8, found them at a local garage sale for $5 and made my grandma buy them for me. Didn't...

Don't walk... RUN!!! I have no idea how, but APureSound managed to get a stock of brand new Koss KSC35! These have been out of production everywhere for over a year... I am SOO getting a pair to replace my 75s. http://www.apuresound.com/

Hello All, I'm still on the fence as to which of the above to buy. I've read a number of post and not reached a conclusion. I've also been informed that the KSC75's are being discontinued. Thanks Mike

What do you consider to be your best and worst headphone purchases so far? WORST: Sennheiser HD-595 (50 ohm) Also my first "good" headphone purchase (early September of 2005). As a gamer and fan of all kinds of music genres, new to headphones and head-fi, I read the praise these headphones...

... Where would you place 5??? No, really... What headphones do you own, and where would you place those on a scale from 1 to 10?

Has anyone tried the KSC35 headphones with the Fiio X3? 

I have been using the Sony MDR-G45 for a year or two now. Last night I broke down and ordered the Koss KSC35 after reading 3 days of great reviews on these jewels. But how much better are they than the Sony's? For serious listening I pull out my Audio Technica ATH-AD700's... Strangely I order...

I dont need advice but for the new head-fiers needing some suggestions! I think the Koss PortaPros are the best for the lowest price :) i dont like them but they have such good value! No specific genres or type, just all out best value!

I been reading a lot about the KSC series lately and was able to get a new KSC/35 off eBay and a KSC75 at Kmart localy.   I am curious as the when was the release date for both, I mean I can see posts for the KSC/35's as far as 2002 and for the KSC75 as old as 2005.   Does anyone knows...

Looking for a somewhat bass heavy earbud for work. Under 20 bucks What are my options?

With all the (deserved) buzz about the KSC75's there has also been a lot of talk about the other Koss 60 ohm headphones, namely the: KSC35, Portapro, Sportapro, Portapro 2 and even a little chatter about the KTX Pro1. But in the myriad of threads about these little gems there is one headphone...

Hi guys,   Glad I found you here.  I'm trying to use a sleep hypnosis recording to fall asleep better and need to find earbuds that would be super comfortable for a side sleeper like myself.  Everything I've tried so far (under $50) was UNcomfortable to plain painful. Definitely...

I have the all black porta pros which are around 2 years old and have the "cloth" style cable.   Recently the left channel started cutting out, if I bend the wire right at the jack I can get it working again so for now I put a paper clamp on it lol.   I'm just wondering if it would be...

I tried to take advantage of the "Lifetime Warranty" on my Koss Portapro again as yet again the jack had gone wonky. I eventually got a hold of the distributor here in Ireland, TNS Distribution. I sent it off to them and don't hear anything for a few weeks. I eventually emailed them and they...

So I had previously owned a pair of the venerable KSC-75s which were awesome until they unfortunately broke. Fast forward 5 years and I needed a cheap good sounding, comfortable portable headphone to use at the gym and skating around. So I found a good deal on a pair of KSC35s which from what I...

Are there any GREAT sounding light weight headphones out there?  If so, please advise and your thoughts on which full headphones it compares to in sound.  One that looks good would be a bonus.  Like these.    

Hi there, I'm a newcomer here in need of some help. Looking for a good headphone which is not too costly. I've never had a good headphones so looking to start somewhere. I  tried the HD 202 at a store yesterday and I really liked the sound, not mindblowing but I think that's what I get for the...
