robm321 Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Exactly, could not respect the guy more as a person. Hadn't thought of him in years (since he was still playing) and it moved me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted Monday at 05:25 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:25 PM Who can identify the cans in Quincy's home studio, circa 1974? Not I, by the way... RIP to the legend with a legendary name, Quincy Delight Jones, Jr. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted Tuesday at 02:46 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:46 PM Could be an ESP-7 too as they used the same shells/headband but I'm not sure if the cable on those was ever coiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Sawyers Posted Tuesday at 06:38 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:38 PM Those were my first headphones, bought new in 1974. I got rid of them at some stage. But during a rush of blood to the head, I bought a pair from eBay for not much. The fluid filled earcups were as hard as biscuit, and the foam damping in the cup has turned to tar. Lots of clean up and fabric/foam pads later, I suddenly remembered how god awful uncomfortable they were/are. You head feels as if it being crushed in a vice, and the top of your head is almost bruised by the weight. I would not have cared so much if the SQ was great. But it isn't either. How Koss sold these things defeats me. Koss remanufactured them for a while, but seems that they have stopped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted Tuesday at 06:45 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:45 PM I also bought a pair of ESP6's again back in the day. Sound quality was great, but each cup had an energizing transformer in it. So the weight was again head crushing. I got rid of those at some point. But a rush of similar blood, I bought a pair of ESP9's. Tarry goop in the cups etc. But at least they come with an external energizer, so the weight is manageable. Sound quality is great. Still not at the heights of my two Stax systems, but pleasing non the less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine received new drivers and pads at an official Koss center about 6 or 7 years ago. Their "ergonomics" are exactly as you describe... it's like having a vice clamped on your head. I've never been able to spend much time with them on. PD sorry offtopic Edited Tuesday at 07:24 PM by jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
