The only problem is that the construction does feel a little cheap (the clips have fell off a couple of times, but they snap right back on, so that's really not a problem), but as for the sound quality, it's excellent.

Speaking of Koss I have heard a lot about the Portpros. They have been making them since 1984, old school. But I have heard it is about the best sound you can get for 40 bucks. They also have that trendy retro 80's look lol

Not really and it isn't flat within that set of frequencies. Headphone manufacturers love to do that though. My K702's they advertise 10 to 39,800 Hz.

Yeah I heard about those, and I was thinking about getting them, but there was such a massive difference in price compared to the KSC75s that I just went with them. Those will probably be my next set of cans though.

I have read really awful reviews of these cans. And as much as I like Dr. Dre, I can't take a product with his name on them all that seriously. Especially when they are sold along side Skullcandy and Bestfuckingbuy. They don't sell quality gear there they sell shit that is marketable so they can sucker the average guy into buying it. That said they are probably enjoyable to listen through because the frequency curve is so out of whack. Just don't think you are going to get good results if you try to produce with them and use them for reference.

Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro.

Frequency response: 5Hz - 35kHz

Need I say more?

They are about $250 and you can get them at Guitar Center if in the states. Otherwise you can find deals online.

I know some people here already have them, so for those that do here is a little tip. If you go here... http://shop.beyerdynamic-usa.com/aviation/accessories/ , it says for aviation headphones, but all those pads fit them. I have the red ones.
