Thanks so much Macdef for your superb reviews, they are right on the money. I have had numerous headphones since 1975 back when I had Stax SRX's and the Koss ESP-9's. They both sounded too etched and lacked bass impact compared to my Dahlquist DQ-10's and I rarely listened to them.
Today I love the quest for high value components so I can manage my addiction affordably. I have decided if I cannot return an item I will not purchase it as I have been stuck with mediocre sounding items after rave reviews. I got some KSC-50's after Macdef reviewed the KSC-35's so well. Thery were exactly as he reviewed them, slightly loose fitting with less bass than the Sportapro. The treble seems a bit harsh but can be easily tamed with a smooth sounding extension cable.
I had three different pairs of brand new Sportapro's and each one exhibited the "flutter" described in the review at Goodcans.com here:

This sound is clearly shown in female vocals(Diane Krall or Tori Amos) and turns their pure voice into a slight warble. Has anyone else noticed this flutter?
