Dream on i hate my '701's in comparison!.remember companies only make the odd mega item ;)

Lol - read what I've written again, daftee, when yer sober! :eyebrows:

You've made a wee mistook... Clue: I was referring the 701s vs. the Koss ;)

It was a brave brave feat for me to claim that these ROSS are in my view the best sounding headphones i've ever heard regardless of any price tag new or ancient! These are open back ;) this DAC i use is like a match made in heaven

:rave:

The Asthetics in the flesh are something else..

Sound description:

The best best ever analogue sound you will ever hear, tight tight deep basss in total control what ever demanding music you throw at them, they never ever distort but give the buisness when on demand, may it be any harsh sound source you feed them, you will hear the toatal picture but without any harshness..one day i will go to bed & have a break.

Did you mean Ross, not Koss? ;)

How much have you had? :lol:

Marco.

amended certainly not TOSS :lolsign:

Hehehe... Was it a vintage pair of the Koss PRO4AAs you had, or the new versions?

Apparently the new ones are tweaked with better components :)

Apologies for the poor quality of the image - you can just about make out the slide volume controls on the side of them. Ah, memories... They sounded really good! :)

{Edit} I've now found a much better image of them:

Hopefully the PRO4 AAs will sound as good or even better!
