Ksc75,px100,portapro and the ksc35.please say which one and explain why you made the choice.

I voted for PP. I"ve had all of the above, and without mentioning the negatives for each hp, I think the PP is the best for sound + comfort combined imo.

PortaPro was my favorite.

Tightest fit = best sound.

sonically I prefer the KSC75.
physically I prefer the sportapro over either the KSC or standard portapro. Sonically however, the sporta and porta are too bassy for my tastes. I modded my sporta with UR40 the titanium drivers (same sonics as the KSC).

I like my radio hack Pro35A to. Really like the rubber headband.

I have the KSC75 and the PX100, so I can only compare the two. I rather the PX100 b/c I can listen to it for hours. The KSC75 can get fatiguing for me. The PX100 is smoother and a little more refined than the 75 IMO(better soundstage). Still, when I want a fun, brief listening session, the KSC75 delivers. Unbeatable for the $$$ IMO. I'd love to hear the KSC-35. From the posts I've read, I bet it would fill that niche right b/t the PX100 and the KSC75.

Hmmmm. I've owned 3 of the 4; PX100, KSC75 and PortaPro2 (which I understand is the same as the PortaPro except for the ear pressure adjustment).

The KSC75 sound was fun but I was never able to adjust them so they were comfortable and sounded right at the same time. The PortaPro2 was fantastic for the price I paid, fun for pop/rock and fit tight against the ears without being uncomfortable. My only complaint was the band would occasionally grab my hair. Ouch! The PX100 fit so well you could forget you were wearing them. The sound was very smooth yet still seemed detailed.

Neither the PortaPro2 or PX100 was fatiguing for long listening sessions but for my music mix and these old ears the edge goes to the PX100's. My only "concern" re: the Senns is they were a bit fiddly to fold and put in the case and they might be more likely to slip while you were walking or otherwise active.

All things considered, my first choice would be the PX100.

PX100. EDIT: Newer version.

Never listened to KSC35 though.

 

[skudmunky]

I love the portaPro, the PX100 doesn't have enough high end for me. Haven't heard the new version on the PX100 yet though.

I found the ksc75/portapro/sportapro to be too dark and loose compared to the PX100, which while dark was tighter and not as bass heavy.
I also found the clips on the ksc75 to be uncomfortable and the portapro/sportapro had that gawd-Awful headband that catches your hair and rips it out by the roots

 

[nabwong]

ksc35 for sure....they're the RS-2 clip-ons

 

[fureshi]

ksc35. this and the ksc75 are very close to me but i still prefer the ksc35 more as they seem less grainy.

 

[J-Pak]

You should add SportaPro to that list. It's very fun (non-audiophile) bassy sound.

Ha! thanks fureshi for the ksc35! I thought my 75 was like the extreme end of treble thanks to kramermod, quartermod and my low/mid fi cabling. Then I experienced the 35. Boy what balance! Theres a bit less bass and treble seems smooth now. I think koss did portables right with the ksc35. Id better get my hands on the portapros soon to see what thats like!

BTW i already recabled the 35 with spc. Less difference to the sound than it did to the 75s..

I like the KSC75s. I don't like getting my hair pulled by the Portapros.
