Well, my KSC-50's arrived and "Valerie", a Koss person, gave me a call. I called back two times and got no answer, so I sent them an e-mail and promptly got one back!

oh well, I'm at least glad to hear from them. Anyway, I sent in a letter with my 50's saying that I was dissappointed with the design and that they kind of fell apart on me. Also, I had some grattle in the left earphone I couldn't get rid of. In the letter, I requested a pair of KSC-35's in return instead of the 50's. If not, I requested some kind of credit towards the 35's.

The e-mail text is as follows:

Quote:

Thank you for your recent return. If you decide to upgrade your current Ksc50 headphones to the Ksc35, the total difference will be $19.99. You will receive 50% credit from the Ksc50 towards the Ksc35. IF you choose not to go with the upgrade, we can just replace under the warranty. You will receive a new set of the Ksc50's. Please contact Koss to let us know what you would like to do.

My dad said he'd buy me a pair of 35's if they shipped us back 50's anyway, so this seems like a good deal. Then again, I could get the 50's back and sell them on e-bay, but it would be a pain and I probably would only have a net gain of 10 bucks anyway.

What do you guys think?

I have both and I prefer the KSC-35's. Once I learned how to put them on easily they were my first choice. Inow use the 50's for the gym.

You can't have too many headphones.

Get the 35's and keep the 50's.
But, if it must be one or the other, go for the 35's.

Let's see, the KSC-35s go for $29.99 and the 50s for $19.99. E-mail says you can get a 19.99 difference for a return for the 35s ($10.00 less shipping), then it says you only get a 50 percent credit for the 50 toward the 35 exchange, which comes out to $14.99, what a rip. I would hold them to the total 50 worth from the 35 price and just owe them $10.00 plus shipping for the swap.

I already gave them shipping. It's 20 bucks flat.

BTW, my old 50's don't have a chance of repair. I'd be getting a new pair. Then again, I want the 35's, I don't want the 50's. What would I do with an extra pair of the headphones I don't want? Use them as backup?
