Any thoughts on how the kph40 compares to the kph30i in terms of sound quality?

[@worldwidebocchi]

Whoa whoa whoa, sign me up, I want those Porta Pros.

[@rica1157]

i am torn between kph40 and koss porta pro. i like to listen to music and watch movies for hours while getting little to no ear fatigue. the porta pro is $60 and the kph40 is $50, which is more worth it?

[@brianm2850]

So, if you look closely at these new Porta Pros, the driver housing has slightly changed from older models. The KPH40 share the very same housing as the new Porta Pros, too. The question is, are the KPH40 tuned any differently than the PPs, be it internally or with a difference in pad thickness? BTW, with your Retrospekt headband, it looks like you had the Porta Pro X drivers on said headband? I have that same headband, and when I attach the KSC75 driver's to it with stock pads they feel fine as far as comfort. Now, if I put the PP drivers on that headband with stock pads, the comfort doesn't do it for me. They need Yaxi pads. Sound improves, too.

great vid thanks bud

[@Iron59_]

I think maybe the mic controller is big because of the internal dac? I don't really know but maybe

[@chethammer]

The Mic/volume control has a built in DAC. That's why its bigger.

[@chuckolatte600]

:( yeah I figured, still doesn't make it as enjoyable...

[@marcinszudy]

Do Porta Pro Utility sound better than regular Porta Pro?

[@jessejones1783]

Hi which version of the Koss Porta Pro would you recommend I should buy because idk which one to buy

[@goodnightmoon]

will you review the newest topping nx7 dac/amp?

[@MichaelSidneyTimpson]

How do these compare to the KSC35, KPH30i or KTXPRO1?

[@jeofthevirtuoussand]

I slayed orphan of koss with my koss kph30i

[@gandit]

Does USB-C compatible with newer generations of Ipad and Android?

[@Schmidteren]

I wouldn't call KSC75 dark. Not at all.

[@GS-yg9wk]

I wonder what the quality of the microphone on the cable is in the new system.

[@chuckolatte600]

It has to be worse simply due to the fact that it sits farther apart from your mouth. I've had people complain about my mic quality more on these than on the regular porta pros

[@sergiusimaniuc2640]

Hey, i am looking for headphones that would be suitable for all king of music genres with an excellent bass, good mids and good treble. I am trying to choose between Sennheiser 560s and Philips fidelio x2hr, which one would you recommend? Thanks

[@brandonkey181]

560s isn't really known for its bass and X2hr is a hate it or love it headphone. If you're into bass and want good treble, the Beyerdynamic Tygr 300r is a fantastic pick. Check out some reviews. The 58x wouldn't be bad either, especially if you replace the foam under the pads that touches your ear (replacing it with acoustic transparent foam really opens up the mids)

[@chuckolatte600]

The 560S is more of a swiss army knife, while the x2hr might excel for some genres but be a tad too harsh for others. Not that bad though

[@Elazarko]

Check out the Sivga SVO21

[@BlueSpirit.]

Why haven’t they offered a Bluetooth cord?

[@BrotherO4]

the 40i dont use the 75s driver. they use porta pro drivers.

[@francohic]

are you sure? so the Porta pro, KPH30i and KPH40 all three use the same driver?

[@socalpimp1974]

ignorant review

[@hardcorejab]

Koss headphones are built like garbage. Why does anyone recomend this garbage

[@foxfix]

audiophiles compare them to 300 dollar headphones that are also build like garbage, so to them paying only 40 dollars for the same garbage quality seems like great value

[@kevintj604]

Because the sound good for the price. The Porta Pro's sound awesome for their price. Not sure about the other stuff.

[@hardcorejab]

@@foxfix 9500 9600 similar audio built a million times better. And used they cost the same as new Koss. Koss is a joke

[@foxfix]

@@hardcorejab i dont think comparing used price to new price is fair though

[@hardcorejab]

@@foxfix Not fair to call something good that falls apart so easily.
