Ok, i've been lurking here for some time and theres one thing that is bothering me.
Most of the headphones recommended here are older... its like when I call any retailer here, they say oh this and that model is not on sale anymore.
A few examples being HP170 vs. HP 250, ksc-35 vs ksc-50, sony v6 vs. ALL new sony models, grado sr60 (that is really hard to find). And there are other exampls.
The salesman asked me why do I want such old models when there are new ones out. I said because companies tend to use the same design but cheaper materials on new models (ksc-35 vs ksc-50 for example). Is that it?? Is hp250 worser than HP170, what about HP170 vs hp840 because I could afford HP840's but here you recommend HP170's that are on sale nowhere? Am I just a confused teenager?
