I did the headband mod to the KSC75 and have a couple of questions.  The headband is super light and was very easy to do but now I am finding the slight sound pressure directly in my ear to be too much.  Has anyone else had an issue with this after the headband mod?  What I was considering was...

Warning: personal experience and long/possibly boring narrative ahead.  Proceed at your own risk   I'll start by saying that I like to think of myself as an audiophile, but I am certainly not one.   I've been coming to these forums for a few years, mostly lurking.  My desire for better...

Here is what I am tired of: Not being able to hear people with my iM716 in, and I prefer to hear people, yet I can't wear my KSC75 because it looks to many that I can't hear them at all due to the size of those things compared to the iBud. So...will i be disappointed with the Triport IE after...

I started looking into headphones a year or so ago and I have been lurking on this forum almost daily since then.   Over the past few years I have put together a decent 2 channel/home theater that I greatly enjoy but definitely under-use.   I wanted to listen to more music so I was looking...

  I have these equipment (and my ratings of how much i enjoy them):   Sony MDR-V6 - 8/10 Grado SR60 w/HD414 reverse quarter mod - 6.5/10 Koss KSC75 - 9/10 (obviously not as good as SR60, MDR-V6, but the value just amazes me) NuForce uDAC - i haven't A/B tested, but i honestly...

I know they're overpriced but are they actually low-quality headphones like skullcandies or something? If you had to compare them to another headphone what'd be the closest comparison?

I got my mom a Sansa Clip+ awhile back but she's still using the crappy supplied earbuds.  I was letting her listen to my SR225s through my HM-601 and she loved them, she asked me how much they cost and all that.  She doesn't want to spend that much so I was going to look into a pair of SR60s...

Hello everybody.  Please forgive any noobishness I may put forth, as I am a headphone noob.   Here is the question + some details:   Are the Sennheiser HD 515's (or comparbly priced cans) worth the $35ish price over a pair of Koss KSC75's?   My budget is right at $50 US.  There is a...

I was originally going to buy the coiled version since I /really/ don't want to hold 11 feet of wire in my hand while running several miles but I heard that the coil REALLY weighs you down significantly. Which one should I buy?

So, in my head-fi journey thus far, I've been through a few different headphones and have found that there really isn't one headphone that is the "end-all" set of cans for me. I've realized that this is really due to my changing mood and music types. Depending on whether I want to analyze what...

Hey Everybody. The time has come for me to choose another set of cans for myself. I am looking for a set that can be driven straight from my iphone / ipad. I want to use these cans for when I am lying in bed and or when I am out and about do my daily shopping for the usual bread and milk I do...

I am looking for a pair of headphones to put inside my helmet. To fit comfortably, they need to be thin enough to not touch my ear. This means being under an inch thick. Any headphones that meet these criteria and can reach ~105-110dB unamped through an iPod Classic? Sound quality is less...

I am in the market for a set of headphones but I need some help.   I'd like to get 2 sets, 1 for pure gaming and 1 for music/movies.   I play a lot of positional games like CoD and BFBC and the music i listen to most is punk rock/metal (bands like new found glory, Bullet for my...

 I listen to a lot of music and wish to have a quality headphone for working out whether it be running on the treadmill or lifting weights. My workout list goes from house,rap,metal. I was thinking of Sennheiser PX-100, Grado SR80i, V-MODA crossfade, Koss KSC75 (might as well buy as they are...

Hi guys i have owned 2 of these headsets now and my latest one decided to brake on me 2 nights ago, I am now looking to put new drivers/cams (whatever you guys call it) into the headset. They have 40mm drivers/cams and i have found a thread with someone else doing...

Hi folks... I realized that for walking / running the IEMs aren't that comfy. I saw that the Koss KSC75 are highly recommended for running. I found them at 27.97$ shipped from eBay, worth it? (sealed in original box) BTW, I know it's a bit pricey but it was the only seller that was willing...

Hey   I am getting sick of my Koss Porta Pro getting broken. I want to invest in something with a little more quality. I often use my headphones while i am running so my new headphones have to sit tight. I use a Ipod Nano 4.gen. I am satisfied with the sound quality of the Koss Pora Pro, but...

After my first foray into headphones with a Philips SPC HP1000 many many ears ago that died violently, I moved on to in-ear earphones (now have a Shure RE2). But after some itchiness I've been thinking of getting a set of circumaurals again. My budget is at around AU$300 and I'd like something I...

http://goo.gl/pwpks  this is my first time to see such a brand of headphone,so no idea about its quality and afterservice,anyone can tell me about it ?

Hey guys, I am new and looking for a new headphone for daily carry and gym use, I have gone through many pairs with bad durability.   After some research I am interested in the grado-sr60/grado ms1, but cannot find any information about their durability for every day carry and gym use...

Hey guys, I have a pair of ATH-M50S and I am VERY satisfied. I switched to them from (possibly) defective HD555's and they are so much better. The problem is that I'm afraid to wear them to school (I'm 13). Are there any headphone's/iem's for under $30 that are considered "jewels"? I don't...

Hi, what are you're opinions on my idea for a portable, budget setup?   iPod Nano -> LOD -> Fiio E5 ->Ksc75   I don't want to jump into other headphones that have mixed reviews or more expensive portables because I'm not too sure if sound quality really is that big of a deal to me. But I...

Last night I had a dream featuring headphones.   I came upon a dimly lit library with many shelves. Rather than having books on the shelves, various headphones were present. From left to right they seemed to increase in quality. On the left there were headphones such as Koss PortaPros and...

OK, the KSC-35/75/Portapro is technically 3 headphones, but I believe they all share the same driver : sure I'll hear otherwise if that isnt the case. What astounds me is how many other models they sell in the malls and department stores, all most of which would appear to be aimed at folk who...

Ive been posting scattered comments about my KSC75 mods across several threads. I thought some of you might appreciate a more consolidated summary. Another forum member stated the idea is to "buy low... mod high". Thats basically all that this is. Hope some of you find this useful. Carefully...
