Slight differences are fine. The truth is it is possible for 2 of the same model of headphone to not sound exactly the same.
Since I am swapping both sides it won't really matter if there is a difference between the new and the old.
Now, if I were going to replace JUST the one that is starting to buzz it'd be a different story.
What would make me happiest would be if I could find a way to stop the buzzing. It's weird because it isn't consistent. I have played stuff that is louder and has more bass that doesn't cause the buzz and then I can be using them to hear during a video chat with a comfortable level and they buzz up a storm.
It may seem stupid, especially since these were "found" headphones rather than some I bought. I mean I have paid more for headphones at Dollar Tree (where everything is $1) than I paid for these.....unless you count the replacement pads I bought.
But, like I said, I prefer to fix things if I can rather than replace them. Granted there are times that replacing makes more financial sense. Technically I am replacing these but, I am keeping elements so that part of my brain that hates change won't be screaming so much.
Picture the Frankenstein monster when he goes "Fire BAD! RRRRR!!!!" Just replace 'fire" with "change."
Welcome to my brain.
Yeah, I've had multiple units of the same model of headphone various times, and some can differ more than many would think.
My KTXPRO1 rattles/buzzes on occasion because small hairs get stuck in there. This is fixed by taking off the pads, removing any hairs I can see, then blowing into the driver area to seek and destroy any hidden hairs.
Koss doesn't care how you got the headphones. As far as warranty goes, if you send them the headphone, that's all that matters.
I bought $1 headphones at the Dollar Tree once. They were one of the worst I've ever heard. haha
I derived amusement from your final comments.
