I guess that before long, I'll need to start thinking about buying either of those to replace my beloved and revered, but aging and somewhat tired 10+ years old K 272 HD. Well, as Blume and Marian predicted, I'm going again through my Goldsmith collection. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,624 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I think I'm going to get the Fiio F9Pro's for portable music. I spent 1/2 hour listening to them in the store and the sound awesome 200$ but triple driver is usually 600$+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,624 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Got the FIIO F9 Pros for 200$ Best portable earphone I ever heard and trump my old Shure SE 215. I'd say overall sound is comparable to the 1000$ Grado GS 1000i I use at home They were pricey so i hope they last at least 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 The Koss KSC75 can best be described as: $300 sound for $9. No amp needed. Absolutely portable. Completely Comfortable. Durable. Fantastic warranty. Despite all the money I've spent on other headphones, I come back to them again and again. If anyone is ever unsure of where to start in audiophile headphones, these are it. You simply cannot go wrong unless you're starving to death and it's your last $9. In which case you should buy some high calorie food. Anyways, Koss recently released wireless versions of the KSC75's bigger, bassier, darker PortaPro: https://www.amazon.com/Koss-Bluetooth-Headphones-Integrated-Microphone/dp/B079ZB9JLL/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1527334574&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=Koss+Wireless&psc=1 Bought?

Yes, will let you know how it goes. I know you at least dabble in music, would you recommend these for music production? When working I prefer more "neutral" sounds, no bass boost, etc. I was using some Shures for a while (can't remember the model number), but those busted on me and the warranty's expired.
