Upgrading from koss ksc75

[mambo5]

ive had the ksc75 for a while now and loved it and it led me here. But i think im ready to upgrade. What would be an upgrade from this for under $100?

 

[Rednamalas1]

home use? or portable use?
also, what type of music do you listen to?

The natural choices are SR60, SR80, and MS-1 for under $100.

Yup...with the SR-60's pretty universally acknowledged as providing the most bang for the buck ($69) in the category. Just read up on them (there is a ton of info out there, starting in this forum) and, if possible, listen to them. The Grado sound is unique and, to me, magical, but you may have different tastes.

Yeah, have a look at the Grados and Alessandro (Alessandro High-End Products) line. They sound great unamped as well.

maybe you'll get disappointed with sub 100$ phones, cause ksc75 are great ones

Agreed. The Koss are really great but saying the MS-1 isn't a step-up is pretty daft.
