how lame... for the record...
i've been using Sony 7506s and Realistic LV-10s (which are essentially the same as Koss HV/1As)
Whatever happened to the KOSS pro4AAA or AA's?
I still have some of those.
Also I have AKG k140's that were a Christmas gift in 1978. Still use them when necessary.
I am recently becoming interested in some newer cans for the booth and wonder what others are using.
A DJ friend swears by the Sony MDR700(?). No other experience with recent headphones of the last 20 years.
Any Help?

heh... pro4aa's were my first set... bought 'em while saving up for speakers.Whatever happened to the KOSS pro4AAA or AA's?
great bass, great isolation, then heavy and tiring... much later made the
move to some nice sennheisers... still have those.
Auditioned tube-amp/stax combo, ... wow... but $$$ at the time.
Only looosers bought the Koss. The rest of us discriminating folk went for the Superex from Yonkers, NY! Well, a few of iconoclasts did. And I still have mine, complete with a JBL badge on one side.
(I think the badges came in the JBL cabinet construction kit?)
"... and I'm not what I appear to be"Only looosers bought the Koss.
oooohhh, looking good supertex.
but the kosses look good to, imho.

the latest Stereophile mag gave a rave recommendation to these
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826402014
and for listing at $249, thot the $104 at Newegg was outstanding.
...but Stax Omega II headphones in particular as well. It will definitely explain what the fuss over Stax is about. Note that one implication is that headphone listening is neither two channel nor surround in presentation, but something else all together. I find it closer to reality than either.
I am tempted to post this in General Audio Discussion instead of a headphone thread. It's implications are broad enough. I think it covers these topics better than any speaker article or paper I have ever read.
