Hello people of the forum, I am a beginner of the audiophile world and I had a couple of doubts that are always debated all over the internet.
1. I read a lot that the Koss Porta PRO headphones and the models that share the same driver sound exaggeratedly good, not only for the price but also for headphones that cost 100 or 200 dollars. Is this really true? Because I understand that they reduce material costs and put plastics of not very good quality, like cables, but the driver that generates the sound is the main budget. I don't know if it's a lot of Koss fanaticism or they really are. This I also read what happens with the KZ brand
2. It is a question that I have when choosing headphones, does it influence how we perceive the sound that a single cable is connected to a single driver or is only one side of the earpiece, either left or right? Because sometimes when I listen to music I feel that I listen on one side a little louder than the other, I do not notice the synchronous sound, so I don't know if this always happens in a song because it is recorded in stereo so the whole band that is playing music it is not in a position to sound the same from both sides. Or the fact that the cable goes to that cup is what generates that effect or defect.
3.
And the last question has to do with the first, if they recommend the KOSS UR 40 or UR 55 or is there something better for the price? Only use at home would be.
I wanted over-ear headphones that passively isolate but can't find good sound, long-term comfort and insulation, so I think it would be better to buy one for listening to music and the other for studying.
Thanks to those who answer me.
