So I'm quite the beginner when it comes to headphones; I've never had a pair above $50, and have had only a couple lower quality headphones. At first I had the typical white apple earbuds that come with ipods, and then had a pair of KSC75s. Compared to the apple earbuds, the KSC75s had a much...

So i got a pair of portapros, and decided to do some modding. I cut a quarter hole in the foam, and it made them sound nice, but ide like to Kramer mod them, as i think their too deep in bass. I found a guide, took the cushions off and saw the little black clips, tried pushing at them with a...

Hey. I'm getting into headphones and, after looking around a bunch, decided to come to this forum. I currently own a pair of Koss Portapros (this is my first pair of headphones by the way) and want to upgrade. I'm mostly upgrading for three reasons: I want better sound quality (the Portapros are...

Tonight I conceded to the fact that I wasn't going to get the amount of money I really wanted for my RS2i's in the FS forums... so I took them back out of their box, pulled the bowls off them and was considering a re-cabe and refinish project on them. (the poor finish really drives me nuts). I...

Hello,   Just sharing my thoughts since I have started collecting headphones when I started visiting Head-fi.   The idea is to collect one headphone from each brand to show it to my future son/daughter that this were the headphones when I was your age.   I'll just start with budget...

My apologies if my first post is a semi-rant - I've lurked this site a fair bit before, but obviously I didn't have anything unique to say pre-purchase.   Background: I've been using and enjoying a Koss SB-45 headset for the last couple years, but it almost broke (sounds goes out whenever...

Someone please take a trip to Marshalls and buy a pair to reassure me that these $5 earbuds aren't half bad when burned in. They sound like crap when you listen to them fresh out of the package. I have a hard time believing it but they are only about 20% worse than KSC75s and a good margin...

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...

Which do you reckon performs best? Which do you reckon leaks the least sound? Which do you reckon is most comfortable? Admission: I have a rather big head with lots of hair on top.

I got a piar of the famous PX100s yesterday, and decided I didn't like them that much. I did a head-to-head comparison with PX200s and realised that although I had to struggle to get a proper seal with the latter, the mids are more mellow, and there is a wider soundstage. The PX100s are genuine...

Anyone heard of fake Koss KSC75? Looking to buy a pair but I find this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=004 too cheap to be true. Never heard of fakes of this headphones though, senn cx300 are common but not this ones.

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...

Has anyone ever come across replacement ear clips for koss ksc 75?

The new Audio Technica's Triple Driver IEM - ATH-CK100 has been out for quite sometime. However there are very little reviews or impressions here in head fi, mostly because of other attractive options like the Sennheiser IE8 and the Westone 3. Seeing how little people owns this IEM in head fi, I...

I am going to be building my own pair of Sound Isolating headphones using earmuffs, so all I care about is sound quality, not so much durability of the headband, or comfort, or anything similar. So what is the best sounding pair of headphones I know of for $30 or less?

An odd choice but honestly for me its about price more then anything else. I've just won an Amazon voucher for 10 pounds and these two seem the best things to spend the voucher on at around 15 quid each. I'd like a noise isolating pair but I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice a lot of sound...

Right now I'm looking at the Yuin G2A, ATH-EW7 (if I can find them), and ATH-EW9s. I've heard the Yuin's are great but how do they compare to the ATH phones?

Yes, this counts as mini for me.  I’m prone to rambling...   Since Lord Voldemort was kind enough to send me one of his Objective2 prototypes in return for being one of his loyal minions (or maybe just giving him some useful advice from a different perspective) I figured I should write up...

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...

I'm looking for some good portable headphones for $25   I need a pair for school use with a education program as my school is not providing them and for use with my phone for portable music.   I was suggested a M50 awhile ago for a new pair of good headphone and still love them so I...

Hi guys i m looking for ear phones around £100... I am upgrading from Koss 75 ( i loved these clip on) however killed them while trying to do a kramer mod :P so looking for an upgrade... not a bass head but do like a bit ...   What do you guys suggest shall i buy another pair of KSC75 or...

  Yo guys!   Recently, the left ear of my rx700's stopped working :( thinking it was a cable issue, i recabled them. Whilst doing this, i discovered that the whole left speaker/driver unit doesnt work at all, like if attach the wires to the + and - theres no sound, yet on the right side...

Didn't know where to put this because it's a cross between full-size and portable now, but mods feel free to move it if you deem necessary.   Anywho, I'm going to Europe next week and decided I needed a good isolating set of headphones for the plane. Naturally, I bought an HD25 because of...

Hello, I've been lurking around here for a while   It is only recently I started getting a lot more into music. Ever since my recreational earphones lost one ear (I think they were the Sennheiser's MX50), I decided to invest in a pair of over-ear headphones to check out what the difference...
