Mine just arrived yesterday. They sound kinda rough just like when I first got my grado sr60's. Is there some kind of mp3 that I can play for a couple hours to break them in faster?

Throw all the music you listen to the most into a playlist and leave it on repeat. That should do the trick.

Let me be the first to say.... please show up today. I was one of the first to order (though the on again, off again shipping charges may have delayed shipment).

Now if those free Sennheisers come by the end of the week also...

I got mine today.
These are wonderful !!!
Bye bye PX 200!

 

[blessingx]

Mine got here today also. Agree with you JAG. Returned my PX200's a month ago. Hoping these would be a better replacement. Are.

It just warms my heart to hear all the people happy with their KSC-35

 

[tommyatkins]

Got mine today. I pulled them out of the box, and was like...hrm, I hope they sound better than they look like they do...

YAY! They do! I was/am very suprised and happy. Good reco there fellas.

Thanks all! My wife just told me that there was a package at home from Koss... Arrgghhh!!! Having a little software issue that's keeping me at work instead of heading home to try these out!

BTW: I ordered on 4/23-24 and they arrived today. You may not be too late to grab a pair.

Thanks for the recommendation all!

Got mine today. Man, they really seem flimsy and delicate! They sound fine but will have to be handled carefully.

I was also charged the $6.00 shipping. I e-mailed Koss and Valerie said she would credit my card for the shipping.

LOL....i went to school with my brand new koss ksc-35 today...5 minutes after...one of my friend came up to me and asked "hey brandon, why are you wearing $2 headphones?!"
LOL....i took my 35s off my ears and stick them on his ears...shuts him up in less than 2 second

The secretary brought mine by this afternoon. She will be a convert soon. She told me some more headphones arrived before handing over the package. A couple of months ago my Philips 963 was delivered and I hooked it up for a day at work. She heard it through the Cosmic and Porta pros. Her jaw dropped. She said she had never heard anything so clear and detailed. I told her I would bring it back someday with my HD-600's and give her a real treat.

Just received these cans yesterday. Without any burn-in, my initial impressions are....

[size=medium]AWESOME!![/size]

Started off with some John Lee Hooker, Best of Friends. Thought, dang! These things are MADE for the blues!

Next up Suzanne Vega. Dang! These things are MADE for Suzanne Vega!

Then came Tool (Lateralus). Dang! These things are MADE for Tool!

When I first started perusing this site, the near universal recommendation for starter phones was KSC35. Now I understand why.

Without burn-in, they are not the most detailed phones, the bass is deep but a bit loose (enjoyable actually), treble is a bit bright/splashy (not bad... in fact, similar to what one would likely hear at a live, amplified show). There is definately something about the sound of these litte clip-phones that is very engaging and fun.

Thanks for the recommendations!!!

has anyone in Canada recieved the order yet?

 

[dragonlong]

Yup. I'm in Canada and I got mine today. I used the coupon code, and according to the invoice, I wasn't charged any shipping. I'm also surprised that I didn't pay any taxes or handling (usually customs will charge me those when I get stuff from the U.S.).

I'm a little bit concerned about my KSC-35s because the left headphone/clipping is loose whereas the right one is tight. I'll make another thread to see what people have to say about this.

 

[Rizumu]

Well I've been happily enjoying my KSC-35's today. Anyway, I was enjoying them so much that I decided to test how they fare against my Portapros, so mid-song I took the KSC-35's off and switched with the Portapros, not expecting much of a difference.

WHOA! Holy @$#!~ what a crazy amount of bass! I had to double check that I hadn't turned on any equalizer settings or anything (like bass +10!

)

Anyway, just thought I'd note that from preliminary listening the KSC-35's are much better and more balanced than the Portapros for my tastes. The Portapros sound muddy and indistinct in comparison. I never would've thought!

We'll see how things turn out but...daaaymn.

No wonder those KSC-35's sounded so good.

Is it the fit? The mood? The fact that it's 2:30 am?
