I just got my set today! first impression - These headphones are superb, if you know what you buy them for. I listen to a lot of concerts and instrumental music. I own two pairs of senheiser and one pair of AKG, and these ones are simply at the next level. When listening to instrumental music I hear sounds that I never heard in other headphones - fingers swiping strings or guitar pick touching deck. It is pure pleasure if you are into complete acoustic sound.! At the same time, mediocre pop music sounds even More obviously like mediocre pop music, headphones don't change that:)
Iv1ushkaIt's *good* that well-recorded albums sound great, and that mediocre pop sounds lousy... if you are buying these earphones as studio reference phones (I am, I mix & create music), you need your headphone to tell you exactly what is happening. No sweet lies! An album recorded professionally with great microphones and acoustic instruments should sound amazing, and an album recorded with dodgy sampled drums and software synthesizers *should* sound less amazing! :)
aditxmanHello, I am not sure that I understand your message, Koss invented the stereo headphone in 1958, I believe that is the correct year. Koss was the dominant headphone manufacturer in the United States for decades and makes a quality product. They have a lifetime guarantee that I have used. Send in your damaged headphones with $9 and they either fix your damaged headphones or send you a brand new pair. They are a wonderful company to deal with.
daybeetThat's exactly what I mean! It's almost ironic that headphones tell so bluntly who is who:) I listened to acoustic concert of Sting, and then to recording of Joan Baez, Diamonds &a Rust, recorded around 1980, and it was an amazing experience. Then I listen to some of the new releases, and they sound like a tin can:)
