I have a pair of SoundMAGIC ES18 which is great for quite a few of my genres of music, but find that it performs poorly with Power and Progressive Metal. I'm looking for full-sized, circumaural headphones, preferably open ones that are fast so they don't get overwhelmed by faster, and busier...

Hello, I just purchased the DT770 a couple days ago and I was wondering if it is enough to power the DT770 well. Would I have any significant improvement if I bought an amp? Also for my AD700 and PortaPros, should I put the impedence to max and lower my mixer volume? Or keep it at default?

For example:   Rodrigo y Gabriela's new album "Area 52"...   I find this music in some sections to be very, very fast, and with some complex parts.    So, in this album, with the combination of Rodrigo y Gabriela's high emotion energy, and with the addition of an almost salsa-esqe...

I'm looking for some headphones under $50, portable headphones especially. I've been searching for some time and have found a number of options, but I would like some better advice. I listen to a broad diversity of music, so the headphones need to be all-around performers. I also live in Africa...

Just as the title states. Around a $50 budget. Not sure what to get. Part of me wants another IEM. Another part wants to jump into the headphone thing with something like the Koss PortaPro... :o. I tend to lean towards the fun bass heavy sound but open to something like the MEElectronic A151...

Any suggestions?   Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out if its possible to take the koss portapro guts and putting them in a skullcandy pair.  I love the look of skullcandy but hate the sound.  So for me,  It would be the best of both worlds.  Do you guys think it would be possible to do such a thing?   options  ...

  Hi there guys.    I am currently in the hunt out for a headphone and having no experience, I decided to come to the highly recommended website of audiophiles. I have never owned any great headphone and this would be my first. So, I want it to the best in my price range. I am a student...

So i decided to borrow a friend's portapro's and compare them them to my v jays.I used amanda marshall's first self totled release along with some other rock cds.I am in no way an experienced audiophile so i'll do my best to compare them.Upon testing "let it rain" the differences were...

Hmmmm...   As title says really.   Looking basically for a closed version of the PortaPro's. Those PX200's looked like they might fit the bill, but apparently they're pretty neutral-sounding...

I am looking for headphones that sound very similar to the M50s but are portable. Did a lot of research and it seems that sound wise the M50s are it but I commute a lot so I need a more portable set of headphones.

Hi, I used to use iPod Photo 30GB with AKG K319 headphones. For me it sounds great, especially with track recorded on Apple Lossless format. Now I've lost either iPod and headphones so I have to buy new one. I've decided to buy iPod Nano 8GB 6th Generation and now I'm looking for headphones...

So, I purchased the JVC HARX900 headphones, and while I found their sound to be satisfying, they were too big for my small build, so they gave me head and neck pain... I also can't use them on the bus because they're huge... I'm in the process of returning them...   I'm looking for...

Hi, im searching for a pair of Koss Porta Pro in ebay but with so many fake ones around, can someone tell me which seller carries real ones? Other than buy. com since they dont ship to PR.

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 can only afford 1 right now though I'd like to get both. Which one sounds better ultimately? I realize that they're completely different styles and portability has no bearing on the decision.   I liked my q460's for jazz, electr, dj...but they were lacking in the "rock" department. I...

Hello everyone, I am seeking some help from the community. Today, unfortunately my Porta-Pro's cables were slightly ripped out of the (socket/connector?) and now the Left side has no sound coming out. I am wondering if it is possible to fix this problem by recabling the headphone. If so, how...

Hey guys, just wondering, how good is koss' lifetime warranty? My portapros just died on me, and they've suffered some damage and some heavy heavy use. Here's some pictures =(       The wires have been ripped off, and they've been destroyed =( . I sent them the package containing this...

Well, I feel like I've done about everything I can to my PortaPro's and I've got a few soldering irons handy. I'd really like to try my hand on a recable.   Any suggestions on which cable/plugs to buy (I think i'd prefer a braided cable and an angled plug but if i'm better off not getting...

I have Koss Porta Pro's that are great through PA2V2 on the go or direct from laptop. For more critical listening K601's and Little Dot I+ satisfy. While studying I am comfortable listening to Classical Music on XM Boombox when home alone. Just realized that I am easily distracted when I am not...

I've recently bought some PortaPros and although I am very pleased with them, I am wonder what I should upgrade to. I have heard that the Grado SR-60i's are a good upgrade from the PortaPros that have a somewhat similar sound (less bassy, more bright,) although I am wondering if there are any...

I've been looking around at getting one of these two portable headphones and I simply can't decide which to get. From what I'm seeing the only differences between the two are aesthetics, comfort (I've mostly just seen people complaining about the PortaPros eating their hair) and the fact that...

This is kinda embarassing to admit (especially since I work out) - but my neck gets really achey after as little as 2 minutes with something the weight of a Grado SR60 on it. I've tried all sorts of neck positions from forward to back to sideways (that messes with the soundstage somewhat). The...

I've read conflicting things about the PortaPro vs the PX100. When assessed individually, people tend to say the PortaPro is dark and muddy, bassy and has somewhat rolled off highs. When the PX100 is assessed individually it is said to be dark as well, and laid back and lush...etc... But when...

I'm looking for a new pair of headphones.  I love the sound of the Sennheiser HD 202 but the cord is to long for what I use them for and I've had 3 pairs and the right ears tend to go out of them in roughly 6 months.  I really loved the sounds of the Koss Porta Pros but the fact that they leak...
