i'd just like to update and say that i'm literally wearing these headphones around 10-14 hours a day. I absolutely love them. Also i'd like to mention that bestbuy has a pair that is similar to the 25th anniversary but the same price as normal ones. they are all black. the only difference between the bestbuy pair and the 25th anniversary is the packaging/coin which i didn't care about. the cord is also different than pictured it is actually a solid black cloth cable. and the part that is shiny on the 25th anniversary is matte black like the rest of the portapros with a small shiny outline. Basically it looks like someone took a pair of 25th anniversary phones and painted the black and white speckled cord black and the shiny aluminum part black as well. I actually like the aesthetics on the bestbuy ones more. Anyways, just figured i'd let some people know. Both me and a friend have ordered a bestbuy pair with no issues, i also own a pair of original porta's as well. Oh, and the bestbuy ones can be seen in my icon, i forgot i put that up..  also the cord is as long as the cord on the original portapros i believe the 25th anniv version is a bit shorter. 
 
heres a link to the bestbuy pair. : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Koss+-+PortaPro+Portable+Headphones+-+Black/9492391.p?id=1218113927982&skuId=9492391&st=portapro&cp=1&lp=1

They had to did it in white long time ago. It looks  slimmer.

I also like the cable on the Classic model, and the Red Hot labeled one looks decent too!

It sorta looks like BestBuy is selling the "Black Beauty"?

Yes, the only difference is the cable. The cable on the best buy pair is cloth, but not with the white speckles. I own a BestBuy pair

I have 2 of the 25th Anniversary Edition, and I'm using one on the go, while keeping the other in the box. Haven't even taken the other one out of the box, and only opened it to make sure everything was accounted for.

 
The PortaPros are truly impressive. It has this natural tonal quality that I don't get from my AH-D1001, while having the bass power I need that is lacking in the ATH-AD700. It's like a combo of both, though not as detailed or as accurate. But quite close, and it doesn't really matter, because the sound on its own is excellent.

Well to be fair, if you think about it, the most noticable bass you can hear is in the 50hz to 200hz range. The Beats exploits this to give the impression of high quality bass.
Below 50hz you feel more as vibration, but gives more texture to deep bass notes. However, it's easier to impress the masses when you crank up the audible range.
 
The PortaPros have no problem producing those extended frequencies

But the Beats will wreck songs that use those low low frequencies.
