Using the recent uptick in action to

-> do some KOSS Headphone DD

and also as an excuse to buy some new headphones and compare them to ones I already have.

I just ordered the KOSS PRO4S headphones that James recommended in his video
as well as the Koss Porta Pro Classics for my phone.. though I'm not one who spends a lot of time staring at handheld devices.
For some reason the thought also popped into my head to buy a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990s as well, so they will also be part of this comparison.
I am hoping the KOSS headphones can hold their own against the V-Modas much like the two bargain brands on the list, and the Beyerdynamics will match the top two 🎧️s on the list.

The other headphones are.. in order of my favorites: (all on the list are great)
1: Fostex T20RPs with brainwave pads. These are my favorites and make your brain rattle!
2: HIFIMAN HE4XXs.. Also great.. clearer and easier to power than the Fostex 🎧️ and almost as much bass.
3: VModa Crossfade M-100s Solid, though not as good as the Fostex or HIFIMAN 🎧️s..
4: Binshi X6 - This was a bargain basement brand that I bought on Amazon years ago and they are nearly as good as the V-Modas. Best bang for buck purchase ever!
5: Symphonized Wraith headphones - Also a lesser known brand that are almost as good as the V-Modas but not as comfortable as the Binshi X6s.

Also have a pair of Skullcandy headphones that are junky, tinny and have no bass.. so they will not be part of the test.
I'll let anyone here know what I think.. 👍️
