Hi, were i can find these headphones online? I was searching ebay for them but with so many fakes running around don't know which seller has genuine ones and which has fakes.

well i ordered them on ebay , they arrived today, package was blue/black, black drivers and headband, braided cable, i was told they are the Best Buy ones, sounds good so they must be genuine.

sounds like best buy edition to me. Give em some time to burn in and then think about doing some mods. Everyone agrees on the quarter mod, cut a quarter sized hole out of the pads and then glue that circular pad onto the sliders to keep them from pulling your hair out for bonus points.
 
Also, there is the kramer mod, which I am a fan of, you should be able to find it on head-fi.. It brings out highs and mids just a tad more. I also just used a bit of sugru to make a better stress reducer on the cable. I've broken one pair there, be careful with the cable at the stress reducer, it's definitely the weak point of these headphones. Might wanna look into getting a bit of sugru too Have fun with the headphones.

Eh, I think that portapros burn in pretty slowly myself.. Just play them overnight slightly louder than you would listen.. you should notice a change. I"m not going to say it will hit in at a certain hour mark.

I love these headphones.

I love these headphones. 

I hear yeah. Sometimes for loads of fun, I play some ska music on my iPhone, EQ the bass high, and just feel the rumble. Just did the quarter mod, and it the trebles are quite better. I'd do the Kramer mod, but I don't have a drill on me sadly.

 

[chrislangley4253]

the Kramer mod isn't that big of a difference, just brings out the highs and mids a touch more Don't fret over it too much. 

 

[Magedark]

I have two pairs, so I have the fallback to try it that's why.

I love my portapros, but I'd like to get a good budget portable amp to cover up the audio shortcomings of the iPhone4. Any suggestions?

The new FiiO E6 is probably the best "tiny" size-factor affordable amp available.

@JamesMcProgger - Cool mod  if I can just find custom headphone cables here I can do it I guess.
 
These headphones are so comfortable even in hot climate. Also they are glasses-friendly
