Koss KPH30i vs Sennheiser HD 600

Koss KPH30i – Good sound quality but bad build quality. Koss headphones are slightly overpriced in my country with these costing $50. For the price, they sound good though with the bass being extremely realistic while the treble suffering with even less detail than the DT880.

The original HD 600 is a legend in our hobby and its design and its sound has stood the test of time. This is one of the newer versions that has been ...

I got these along with some KPH40's and gotta say, these things are not very comfortable without swapping the pads for some porta pro yaxxi pads. The included foam is scratchy. The only downside to that is swapping the pads requires you (gently) pry the driver off of the housing with something like a butter knife. It's not hard, but not as effortless as just peeling off the pad from the KPH40's

Clear: It’s pretty crazy how comfortable the Clears are for how heavy they are. They are so perfectly balanced on my head that I do forget I have headphones on sometimes.

The only other complaint I can give is yes this cable it's just not the best cable you know the worst part of it it's really thin okay that's one thin...

Clearly the Grado's at $100 are the least expensive with the Momentum jumping up markedly to $299, while the more recently acquired Sennheiser HD600 hit the $400 mark. When a number of them are playing notes together the Grado's sounded smeared compared to the HD600s. Not unlike a poorly created JPEG from a digital point-n-shoot versus a well-made JPEG from an original RAW processed via Adobe Lightroom. Details are are lost in the former, but the latter does a far superior job of keeping the detail even in the process of losing information

So did it meet my requirements? Yes it is both light and didn't sweat while using them over a couple of hours. I actually forgot that I was wearing them until the inevitable pull of the wire on the computer.

I’m not a headphone expert, though I have been using them in one form or another dating back to 1977, so a good 40 years on everything from the old Koss white eggshell looking things to Sony’s 1980s on the ear to noise canceling Sony and Bose phones. But for music (hi-fi) my AKGs had been my reference until they were damaged. But this review concerns some AKG K-712s that I purchased at the same time as the Sennheisers specifically to test. In truth I picked up the AKGs after being disappointed with the HD600s; feeling like something was missing

So I resign myself to get another pair of headphones and it was the Koss KPH30iK. At the moment the price of the Porta Pro and KPH30iK are the same price. I picked KPH30iK over the Porta Pro because I didn't want to keep readjusting each time I put it on and was concern about hair snagging on their moving band. It definitely not because of its style

But those are my thoughts on the new 600. Now I'd love to know your thoughts in the comment section down below. Do you think you'll be picking up a pa...

If the idea of losing or damaging your $300 noise cancelling, Bluetooth enabled, overdriven bass soundstage headphones sounds anxiety inducing...get these

I went around one day in Sydney and tested all the earphones I could find in 3 stores and was just stunned by the performance difference in the Sennheiser compared to the rest. It was a huge difference.
