KSC-35's came today, What
Dec 8, 2005 at 8:22 PM Post #78 of 122
I went from the KSC-35's to a Perreaux amp/Sony CD3000 combo. I ended up selling that combo and going back to the KSC-35's. I honestly did not hear any improvement.

The best thing I can say about the CD3K's is that they are the only closed cans that sound like the KSC-35's

My KSC-35's have finally crapped out on me after I lost the pads during a night of drunken revelry. I actually found this thread after searching this site for any KSC-35 news(possibly a new and improved can with similar sound, etc.)

I think I'm going back to Koss for the KSC-35's. If only I could find a closed can with a similar signature(that doesn't cost $400+).

cheers,

The one I got from Koss direct was gold (as far as i can remember) and came with a crappy vinyl bag. The one if got from Creative was silver (in color hehe) and came with a nice velcro bag, 1/4 to 1/8 adapter (also silver in color), and blue tray you can prop the cans on.

Koss direct cost twice as much, and they are now out of stock. But honestly they sound the same to me.

Well they're not quite FOTM any longer, i mean they've been FOTM on and off for the past 5 years or so. Maybe FOTB, flavour of the broke

I just think it's so cool for a phone to be so reknown, affordable, practical and sound good at the same time. What will we do when these creative batches ran out? Will the manufacturing plant make these under a different name and sell them straight out of china? Will demand for used or old-stock 35s rise through the roof? Will koss get their act together and create an even better 35/50/75 hybrid? KSC-95? Questions, questions, questions...

We'll switch to the KSC-75. Also a great headphone, imho.

Just ordered mine. And also scheming on getting a pair of the 75s from amazon. I was going to order 2 shirts from there anyways. And might as well tack it on since its free shipping. Wowza this place is bad...

Are the KSC-35s and 75s comparable? the 75s are MUCH cheaper than the 35s.. and it seems like a nice value if they're comparable..

You're flat out wrong. The KSC-35's are better than more than a few 100$+ headphones. You really have no right to an opinion on this since you haven't heard them.

I just ordered a second pair.
