Thanks bro. Seems like the only way is to get it from there... by the way what's the difference between PK and OK series? OK is higher end with better SQ?
*
I have not personally compared the OK series with the PK series, but a short talk with kostalex from Head-Fi, he did mention the OK series excel better in technicalities, however, in turn become more "accurate" sounding instead, unlike the PK series which injects a slight bit of colouration.


Take it with a pinch of salt though. I see no need to buy any of the OK series at the moment as I am rather satisfied with the PK1 and 3... But perhaps one of these days I would smile.gif

Open back headphones:
Open back headphones (sometimes referred to as vented) are designed to allow sound out through the back of the earcup. This design gives a character to the sound that is often described as having an open soundstage, or natural. One reason for this is that there are less reflections than a closed back (or sealed) design.

Does this means that people from the outside can hear my music. Because I tend to hear music to the most loud and I have my friend complaining to me that they can hear my music icon_question.gif

The Koss PortaPro does bleed as well but not as obvious as the Grado.

they are quite similar in build and also sound signature... but i do feel B2 is a bit bassy (just a tad) than a sparkier DBA-02....
