Hello there, this is my first post, cuz I'm kind of noob in this audiophile subjects. Can anyone help me here? I live in Brazil, and I recently purchased a Koss PortaPro from an eBay seller. The main reason for which I chose eBay is because I would pay at least twice as much for the very same headphone here in Brazil.
Of course I took a long time carefully looking for a seller that seems to be honest. Then I found a $31.00 PortaPro (plus $15.00 for shipping), from this seller:
eBay My World - quickestmail
I bought it and when it arrived, I immediately turned my computer on, and played my favorites songs on it. However I was surprised, because I had read about PortaPro in many reviews, and I expected to listen powerful basses, but I got poor basses and shiny trebles instead.
My point is: have I been tricked? Did I buy a fake PortaPro? I checked many photos on google, and I found no differences between mine and the original. Every single detail is identical. So I guess there are four possibilities:
1) I just need to get used to wearing good professional headphones.
2) I bought the most perfect replica ever made.
3) My sound card sucks, or maybe it's just an equalization issue.
4) I just need to make a burn-in on my phones.
That's my question, can anybody help me?
