Koss KSC75 Consumer Headphones

I'm hard on headphones, and pickier than many to boot. I've been using Koss headphones for a long time, both because of the lifetime replacement/repair, and because the quality's good enough. I listen to a wide variety of music, including a lot of stuff that was recorded live, and many headphones seem to work fine for the studio stuff but make it impossible to hear the live recordings' details. With these, I can not only hear the burr of Dougie MacLean's fraying guitar string, which is my usual test, but I can hear the rosiny bite on the violin downbows as well. That's good enough for me! As a bonus, the connector is L-shaped and sturdier than the straight one on the PortaPros I've been using (the usual failure point for me) but they're so comfortable I can hardly feel them on my ears. You can probably find something still better than these, but not for anywhere near this price.
