In my opinion, yes, MUCH.
As has been discussed many times here, the following headphones all use the same drivers; however, based on their enclosures and fit, they sound different. This is my ranking (best to worst):
KSC-35
KSC-50 (new version of the 35s, same style as the 35s, but a bit less bass and completely inferior fit)
PortaPros (supposedly the "top of the line" in the series, but still a bit too much bass)
SportaPros (fit very tightly and thus have *very* boomy bass)
There is also a new model, the KSC-55 which is the KSC-50 with a behind-the-head "StreetStyle" headband.
Are KSC-50's any better than Sportapros? |
