    Closed mid-range portable headphones that sound like Koss PortaPro?

    Hi everyone,   I love my the sound of my Koss PortaPros, but I find them flimsy and they block no sound at all, so therefore Im looking for a step-up pair of headphones that would sound similar but have a closed (sound-blocking) design. Portability is still really important to me, Ive been...

    Best portable over-ears 40-70$

    Given the fact that there are only a few people who actually listened to JVC HA-S600 or KOSS UR55 (opinions about these still highly appreciated), I decided to consider  other possibilities again.   For music I usually use my smartphone (Desire HD), I listen mainly to electro music, mostly...

     Hey all, looking for headphones with great bass and good sound.  Does anyone have experience with the Kickers?  They will not be amped outside of whatever the laptop has internally.  I know the Koss's are solid, haven't seen anything with kicker's stuff (coming from car audio, their subs are...

    Recabeling an Koss UR-55

    Hi,   One side of my headphone stopped working so I opened them and the problem wasn't a bad solder connection, it's the cable...   Look at the red square:   It looks like the cable is broken on the picture, but that's not the problem. It's because I pulled it and now it's working...

    Gift Headphones for a Very Clumsy Friend (Budget-fi w/ Good build)

    Build Quality is key here. I did a recable for this same friend and he managed to hook his knee (???) into the y-split and completely rip the wires out of the cups and snap the headband all in one go. There are a lot of great budget-fi options out there for under $50 but I need to know which...

    Why do Koss only make 'one' decent headphone ?

    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...

    Question about HD203's

    I purchased a pair of Koss UR-55's today at bestbuy, unfortunately they are a little on the small side for my head so they just aren't that comfortable. I remember seeing a pair of HD203's on sale for 39.99 so my thought is to return the UR-55's for the HD203's. My question is that from the...
