The left speaker has a small rattle at low bass. And the higher volume, the bigger the rattle. Its not that big but it is noticable and disturbing. The bass or thump is not different but theres the added rattle. The right speaker is ok.

Sometimes I tend to push them really high volume wise. If you have any recommendations or explanations, do share.

i thought they gave you a ksc-50 if you take the wareenty?

 

[AnimeEd]

well, they should have some since they are since being sold on their web site

 

[greenhorn]

I would choose a new KSC50 over a defective KSC35 anyway

i had this problem once.

remove the foam (carefully!) from your earpiece. the plastic piece protecting your driver is loose. a tiny but of glue in the right place should set it right.

hope that helps.

My koss 35 is dead so how can I claim the lifetime warranty?

The easiest way to replace KSC-35's is to find another headband that uses the same drivers (IE: sportapro's), and simply switch the drivers. That way, you won't get stuck with a pair of KSC-50's, and you'll still have new drivers.

The warranty card that came with my PortaPro 2's says:

i had a similar problem with my portapros... i thought they were shot, but i took off the foamies, and it turned out to be a strand of hair touching the driver... pulled the hair out and good as new.

I opened them but everything seemed to be really tight and allright there.

I e-mailed KOSS international warranty and asked what my options are (repair, return, exchange) and where to get it done. Guess I should hear from them on Monday. I will then decide what do to next (maybe even try some glue a bit). I'll let you guys know.

 

[AnimeEd]

don't worry
they should take care of you

Ok they said that I can send them to the states to checkup.

I dont know if its worth it... I mean another $10 for the shipping and I could end up with ksc-50... Thats like $46 for ksc-50 (worth 20$) although I have already had the 35's for over a year.

My experience with Koss is that they will replace the 35's with 50's. To remedy this problem i attempted to send them only the busted driver's to the 35's, but unfortunately they politely refused to replace it. I next bought a pair of 50's, and now whenever my 35 drivers get busted i just send them in with the case from 50's and get a new pair of drivers to to clip into the 35's. So roughly 30(for the 35's) + 12 for the 50's and you sort of have a lifetime warranty on the phones

Try gently vacuum on the driver. It's mentioned above but a tiny piece of hair or lint can cause rattle.
