Hello all! Disclaimer: I am an audiophile newbie. All I have to go by are my ears, based on what I have listened through so far (crappy stuff, and more recently, the two headphones being discussed). I have had the Koss KSC75's on Parts-express headband (with Portapro earpads) for approx 1...

NOTE: I have been keeping this updated periodically. I am hoping it is helpful to someone. IF SO please post something even if it is brief so I know people are using it. Thanks. Useful links: Tyll's wall of fame Joker'ss 260+ IEM Review. Joker's 100+ Portable Headphone reviews The reason I am...

As much as i love my KSC75s, i've always hated the silver finish. They look a bit cheap and plasticy too.  So after much deliberation about paint markers, plastic dye, and spray paint, i decided to go for the latter. I was concerned about any paint getting inside into the mesh behind the...

In case anyone wondered how they compare and what they all look like next to each other, here's my take in a table and a bunch of photos.      Koss KSC75 Koss KSC35 Yuin G2A   £12 £30 £40 Price 5 2.5 2 Initial Comfort 4 3 5 Long term Comfort 3 1 4 Speed /...

Hi. I'm looking for a pair of budget headphones for my wife. She will be using them for listening to podcasts at home so have to be nice and light and be very comfortable. She really doesn't like them to be HUGE just standard sort of size. Semi-open or open would be her choice as she finds her...

So I looked at reviews and these mostly got good reviews. They are my first high end headphones and I just wanna get an up front opinion. I was gonna buy beats but for the music I listen to(Rock, Punk, Folk and very little Electronica, Hip Hop and Rap) I thought the Bass on the Beats were...

Are there any current recommendations for non-isolating earclips or maybe behind-the-head-band headphones?   For a long time, I used Koss KSC-35/55/75's. I ended up buying a pair every year, because they'd degrade. But then I broke one of my KSC-35 earclips, which I installed on every...

So, hi, this is my first post here. I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum or not, so please let me know. I wanna buy some budget headphones, but not sure which one is best for me. My budget is $50 (not too generous, I know), so it needs to be within that price range. I've been looking at...

Well I'm planning on buying my friend a pair of headphones for her birthday. I don't want to spend a lot of money so probably around $20-$30. She doesn't want Earbuds. She's been mostly looking at on-ear headphones. I want it to have good sound quality and good isolation for the price. Please...

Hey Im new. Im looking to find headphones that have good bass and look nice too.

I love the KSC-75s, but I'm really getting sick of their low durability. My fourth pair just broke (left side dead). I can send it in to be replaced, of course, but the $9 fee plus shipping isn't easy to swallow on a pair of headphones that I only paid $15 for. I'm wondering if I should just buy...

      Alright, I'm tied between the two of these. I listen to more bass heavy stuff (hardcore techno such as happy hardcore). And I also want phones that I can wear on my head for hours. Oh and some gaming :P I'll get a headset down the road.   What I like of the HTF600:   -Better...

NOTE: I've used the search function already - which had some results - but I'd still like a more direct comparison of these four. Any advice, comments, and suggestions are greatly appreciated As stated in the title, my target is a cheap (under $20) and portable (any type) set for running...

Hey everyone i want to make my own Headphones but where can i buy some Headphone Drivers thanks for any help as i love making things and making my own headphones would be fun, i know i can just take some drivers out of headphones but was just wondering if i can just buy the Drivers somewhere ^_^...

Hello,   I brought this up in another thread (and JK1 provided me with a lot of helpful info), but I thought I would start a new thread for it with a related title in order to get more impressions from PX100II owners.   Background: I am new to "not complete crap" headphones. I am trying...

Hello head-fi   I Started regretting buying the Skullcandy Agents(the things were small, it sounded like 1 speaker was louder than other, didnt go in ear fully, and they broke yesterday...I'm not even sad about it. also I knew that they would break). so I've been looking for better...

I'm looking into buying some cheap portable headphones lately and I stumbled these too which I've heard alot about in the past, and I also read a few topics about them, Anyway, which would be better in sound and comfort? Also, will they require an amp? (I know the porta pro needs one), and is...

This is essentially driving me nuts. I have both. I plan on keeping only one set. For reasons of personal preference, I am getting the cheapo part-express headband for whichever pair of drivers I keep. I am holding both sets of drivers to my ear with the same amount of pressure (the amount of...

Hello once again, Head-Fi,   Today, I have a question that I need some opinions on. I have recently bought headphones that are over 100-200 US dollars, and I find that some headphones that are under 100 US dollars seem to be more fun to "play around with" (like, getting them to produce a...

In order to have a Audiophile-grade home set up, these are what you need:   Asus Xonar DG:   ~$30     Koss KSC-75   ~$20     Xonar Unified drivers: http://brainbit.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/asus-xonar-unified-drivers/     Set the headphone amp of Xonar DG to...

How the StratoKOSSters came to be built   Before I go into detail with the modding process I would like to mention where I am coming from. About a year ago I bought my first Grado headphones (SR80i). By that time I had mainly listened to IPod buds or my main speakers.  Very soon I started to...

I know that there are specific threads for different things but I find it difficult to find a lot of information on headphones in the style I prefer. I prefer over the ear headphones that are comfortable for long usage that are not closed. I listen to music and other things in relative peace and...

Hi all,   I was hoping to get advice on a nice pair of (relatively cheap) backup earbuds before my headphones come in.  I plan on ordering the FA-003, but I heard that takes super long to ship, so I'd like something to tide me over until then.  I don't know much about earbuds/iems (been...

Hi,   Newbie audiophile here. Am a student so not too much budget. Which is the best pair of on-ear headphones I can get for under 40$.   Any advise is welcome...   Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a decent pair of headphones for daily listening at work. I currently have a pair of Sony mdr v150's and they hurt the backs of my ears after 30 minutes. It might just be my ears because earbuds do the same thing. I don't do audio editing or need super high quality headphones; the...
