I'm looking for a pair of headphones that have a lot of bass and are good for using with my iPod for walking from class to class on campus. I've been listening to a lot of dubstep, techno, hip hop, and rap lately if that makes a difference.   I don't want to use an amp or anything with...

Greetings Head-fi-ers,   New to posting, but not new to this forum, I've spent a good deal of time reading here, and have found this site to be a great resources for all things headphone.  A little about myself:  Started mixing audio for my church 7 years ago, and used sony MDR 7506s and...

Recently I encountered little annoying problem. Left cable from my koss porta pro (when I move head or cable, when wearing on ears) is making noise that sounds like it would rub against plastic. Sound is quiet when headphones are off but annoying when on my ears. I heard that people call this...

I'm currently looking to buy some headphones. Either full size or on ear, (not ear bud or clip on etc.) I'm looking for the best sound quality for less than or equal to $40. I love bass so lot's of bass, but not so much as to sacrifice the other aspects of the music. I think a good example would...

a lot people wonder if px200 pads would fit   i will tell you , they fit like a glove. they are more comfortable to wear with the leather px200 pads   px200 pads make portapros somewhat airy and spacious, it definitely adds more mid bass punch, its like having to 2 drums on your ears...

I love my portapros. I use them all the time when I'm out, but I wish they had a microphone and volume controls so I could take calls on my iphone like I can with the white buds they came with. Has anyone tried taking the cables from the iphone buds and recabling them into the portapros, or any...

Hello all, I'm new here   So for the last couple of days, I've been searching for a new pair of headphones to use with my mp3 player (Zune HD). After a lot of reading, comparisons, and eliminations, it now all comes down to the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 and the Koss Portapro. I know their price...

Well, recently I've become quite interested in headphones, IEM's, and sound in general.  I'm the "sound guy" at my church and run the sound board during the services.    Anyway, I've always used the stock earbuds that come with my players and never really cared about sound quality as long as...

Whats up guys, and gals, straight to the point here, i want to bet a friend of mine that the koss portapro ill be getting can take on his beats by dre solos, the regular ones. what do you think, a friend of ours is going to be the judge, should i go for it, or are the pros no match for the muddy...

Is there a way to get leather ear pads on them? Which ones are the most compatible? I've never been a fan of foam earpads.

So I love the sound signature of the PortaPros but I hate the delicate build they have. I've been through at least 5 pairs so I am looking for an upgrade that carry a similar sound. Preferably in the $50-$100 range.

even the porta pros are being faked.. http://www.koreanstown.com/2009/11/warning-fake-porta-pro-discovered/

I really do mean complete opposite. Firstly, they need to be really cheap, around $50. The genres that the HD 598s are good at are things like alternative, classical, jazz, I want these to be good with metal. Heavy metal. And dubstep. The HD 598s are used for relaxing, mellowing down on a...

Hi, I have a pair of Koss PortaPros, and to me they sound better without the stock ear cushions, and would like to purchase some closed ear cushions for them, preferably leather. Do you have any recommendations for closed ear cushions that would fit my PortaPros? Cheers.

Hi all,   This question lead me to join the forum after a period of lurking.   I am a complete novice to high(er) end audio,and am restricted by both ignorance and budget. I have only recently discovered the wonders of lossless audio codecs and by those means am realising the value of...

I've just been schooled by a pair of $30 headphones. Many of you know them and love them. Some of  you even sleep with them next to your pillow, because you dare not part with them more than a night. I bit the bullet (...albeit a small financial bullet) and bought me a pair. I don't think I need...

FEEL FREE TO MOVE THIS THREAD TO THE CORRECT CATEGORY   Hi, spare me I'm new   I was modding my old PortaPros and the results so far are quite interesting so I want to share my story.   I'm tinkering on my PortaPros due to sniping some old "VIVANCO SR75" (old Audio Technica ATH-2...

any recommendations for heaphones a level or two above the koss porta pros? maybe with a bit more sound isolation but must be able to play very well umamped from a ipod, also, portability is a factor, price? under $200   thanks!   James

First of all, I know that compare these two is a great mistake. I know there are huge differences between them, but I'd like to compare them for a simple reason: I own the first one and I'm thinking about the second one, because my Portapro died curled in a bus seat (damn you, bus driver!).  ...

Portables, clip-ons, canalphones or earbuds, I don't really mind, as long as they're comfortable enough to wear for hours without being irritating. I apologize for registering just to ask a question, but it'd be really appreciated.

OK maybe the cords to short for a home rig, and maybe there are some issues with the headband, but I dont have a whole lot of hair, despite what my avatar pic might indicate..   Got my Porta Pro's plugged into the Sparrow and they are rockin it.   Lot's of tight quick bass, mids are...

Hi everybody, I have horrible luck in general, and I've already killed off two sets of headphones in the past 18 months at work. Its not like I was stuffing them at the bottom of a backpack or anything, but I'll be listening to my headphones while doing office work and maybe move too much...

Well the title says it all really

Hi audiophiles, awhile ago I started a thread "Has the Koss Porta Pros changed in sound?"   The reason for the question was because of the bass which I was expecting, was weak in the set I received compared to what people online were all saying (deep bass, overwhelming, etc).   Friendly...
