Painful after long listening? Does that mean the IEM itself is hurting you? or the sound coming from the IEM?

Guys I ran into this poll and somehow interested to the Koss KSC75 but I'm wearing glasses and it seems to me not that comfortable so i encountered the koss porta pro, how do you guys compare to them both? as I read alot of customer reviews on the amazon and i could see how amazing both headphone could be and I was thinking and glasses wearer or anyone who owns both and how do you compare the sound quality between them.

Hahaha as of today, I own both. Personally, I dun really like the ear clips type. But KSC75's clip is fine with me and my glasses. But I still prefer headband over clips. Comfort wise, its more of ur personal preference over headband vs clips. But wearing portapro close to wearing nth XD sound wise, both of them ALMOST the same. But then again I only try stock ksc75 once only lol. My gf ksc75 still in wrappings. lol QUOTE(Snowguy2068 @ Dec 8 2010, 12:49 PM) I tried portapro. Yeap. Enigmatic. vlad, u can try ask him whether he got additional units or not for the band if u dislike clips.It sounds,feels amazing I have specs too so I know where you are coming from I'm gonna try ksc75 soon and I'll get back to you on how it feels,and sounds of course there is a guy selling the headband for ksc 75 though easily convert it to a headband |

Lol.. for those not into this hobby, spending more than 100-200 for a headphone is a waste. Good music only for those who appreciate it.

Hmm been years since I tried HD201 hence I cant say much because I forgotten how it sounds like.
Perhaps forumers that tried both can enlighten you? |

But then me no likey it now coz I prefer something more neutral, further and wider soundstage. nahi just recently into this headphone thingy and start to appreciate good sq of music thru headphone. before i dont really care until i tried beats by dre owned by one of my close mates. but i dont think i ready yet to spent around 1K over headphone. my early choice beside portapro is dt231 (same price range) but after test it, for me dt231 are not so suitable for outdoor activities and portable as portapro. |

668, clear, neutral, spacious, can go very high and very low. Not overwhelming bass. Has a very good separation too when I tested with my friend's amp.
For further info, perhaps you can read those reviews I posted in my thread? |

Either one will be wonderful headphones.. It's great knowing that either way you go, you're gonna get great bang for the buck. In fact, portapro is probably one of the oldest headphones still in the market..Well, I guess the Chinese saying is true: "宝刀未老“, which literally translates to good sword is not old..
