I'd even 1 up you on this one, I want high end koss PERIOD

I love every product I've bought from koss (maybe an exception here and there), but their engineers are just trolling us at this point. I'm fully convinced that they're acting maliciously on purpose to make the shittiest most fragile headphones as possible. Some of the oversights are so blatant with easy solutions that it's hard to think that it's a coincidence. Kph30i headband failure and KPH40 adhesive failure are all but guaranteed to happen within a year of ownership. 12 months of moderate daily use will break at least 60% of the time if not more.

I know your post is focusing on sound improvements, which I'd like to see improved upon as well, but i'm not throwing over $100 on anything until koss can pull up their pants and get their shit together, regardless of how good they sound.

Yea Koss knew PortaPros like to pull people’s hair out and break pretty easily 40 years ago. They have a warranty but it costs money to ship them back, so people just buy a new set instead. I don’t know if it’s more profitable this way. But the fact that they still don’t have removable cables shows they don’t give a shit.
