I have a few pairs of dynamic headphones, including a pair of Dekoni Blue (modified Fostex planars), but I really prefer my Stax electrostatics. My problem is though, that I can't use most of them without an amplifier (or Stax energizer), and I wanted a pair to use with my iBasso portable digital player when I walk my dog.
I stumbled across a used pair of very inexpensive Koss Pro4AA Titanium that I couldn't walk away from. I didn't expect much, and I was more curious than optimistic. I liked the originals when I owned them 50 years ago, but a LOT has changed since then. I figured that for the money I paid, I could sell them if I didn't like them because they are in as-new condition.
They are very good actually ... much more comfortable than the originals, and the build-quality is excellent. None of those silly plastic yoke ends that always break. Sound isolation is great, and they are snug without being uncomfortable. They are a bit bass-heavy, but it is tight bass. Treble detail is a bit glarey, but not unexpected for the price. I am keeping them.
I don't understand all the controversy about xenotransplantation. Donald Trump has been sporting a hair transplant from an orangutan for years.
