Re: Koss Pro 5Q Quadphones

Which were replacements for a pair of Koss Pro 4Q phones waay back-in-da-day! Basically they sounded like Pro 4AAs(with similar vise-grip ear clamping, even after adding extra foam rubber padding), though the drivers resembled those auld Western Electric telephone receiver earpieces! Used the bottom drivers for front channel stereo, with the tops wired in Hafler configuration! Used 'em for playing guitar accompaniment for that year as an apartment dweller(receiver wuz a single-branch tubed Kenwood 1400, guitar amp wuz an Eico ST-70)so that downstairs so-n-so would quit thumpin' da floor(gave da hag a nice, feedback-sustained goin' away concert as a thank-yew, though)! Noticed that if you reversed the rear channels, you'd get an expanded stereo soundstage that made regular headphones sound flat in comparison! Second faves are Koss K-6s, da poor person's Pro 4AAs! O.K., they're those Realistic-badged Custom Pros, but they make up in retro kewell what they might lack in precision sonic presentation!!!
