I have been researching the web about the 950s. It appears the elements are not based on the JansZen design used in the older models. As a long term owner of multiple sets of KLH Nines and numerous JansZens including a set of Z412HPs that I still have, the older Koss phones are to my ears almost the perfect listening experience though they may no longer need considered the most accurate reproducer. No one around here has the 950 in stock to listen to.
Luckily my 9s are almost new having been made in, ate '89 to early '90 so, am not quite at a point where they have to be replaced. I am thinking about a set of 10s, maybe as they seem plentiful, as a backup system. I have never found the Stax involving and Sennheisers I have had and they were so poor in material and construction that within a couple of years they literally fell apart. In viewing the guts, it looked like a poorly made diy project.
