[I was asking about where to buy the KSC75 at first, but decided to just go for a real cans]

Thinking about getting a Grado, or Beyer, or anything that's very different than Senn580 (since I've had my fun with it). Those > $200.00 cans should easily kick Ksc75's butt, right?

I listen to almost everything, pop, rnb, hiphop, jpop, kpop, cpop, and jazz. Mostly for mp3s- averaging 256kbps. I have the emu1212m, and Original Master Amp.

I'm really looking for: instrument separation (instead of blending like the 580), punchy bass. Doesn't really care about soundstage.

I tried Grado(60,125,225, and 325) but I couldn't hear any differences when I'm playing my mp3s from my "Free" mp3 player.

Look at your local RadioShack.

What Wid said. Try some Grados. Go to a meet.

Search and read. Search and read.

Mooch

I remember buying my two Koss KSC-75 earphones from Amazon.com a few years ago when they were on sale. I paid only $26 for the two sets which was a deal back then. But I think I see them even cheaper these days. So you should be able to get a great deal on them. They are great cheap phones for portables.

Currently Academic Superstore is selling them for $16.95 w/ free shipping. Anyone can buy them there, not just students & faculty!

But isn't ER4 sound rather thin in the bass department? And so does, the 501.

And about the Grados, I can't even hear the differences between those 60, 125,225 and the old 325. Besides, it still sounds similar to my Senn 580, they differ only slightly. BTW, I tried those cans for about 1 hour, with a crappy mp3 player, but I don't know if my emu1212m and an original master would make show that much of a difference; not to mention my kind of music is rather mainstream ones.

Umm... what about the Beyer DT770?

Isn't that similar to the senn580? Emphasizing the lower/bass department? I already have a senn ,so I'd love to try a totally different sound.
