Koss KPH40 (old video) 

First we had Birtish Dankpods (Techmoan), then Canadian Dankpods, and now American Dankpods.

You give the vibe of an American DankPods, good content

I got mine today, with the USB-C cable. I'm currently watching this video with it. I don't have a lot of headphones but I compared it with my Sony MDR 1R. It truly sounds amazing! The kph40 makes the 2xx dollar Sony sound like an old radio. It may give the mid to low sound a tiny reverb, so it may make a lower female voice sound bassy, but it is a lot more accurate than the Sony one in other frequencies, I'm quite happy with it, especially for the price. The USB-C cable is a must buy, it has a 24bit 96khz DAC built-in, I think this is the reason it sounds better with my phone. I heard there's no DAC for the apple version.

Great review- complete bs that people think a comparison to other good reviewers is a bad thing- the opinion is your own! I bought these bc of your review and send it to others when recommending the KPH40s.

I wanna mention that the USB-c or lightning end is only 20 if you grab it in a bundle with this headphone on koss's website.

do the metalheadband replaceable and switch driver which one suits for kph40?

Great video bro. Def subbing

In this case, balanced has nothing to do with interference. The important thing here is that each driver has its own connection, as you mention in the video, and that allows using a dac/amp in bridge mode to increase the amount of power to feed the headphone. In no case is the noise eliminated (for that you need 3 cables per driver and an electronic device that inverts the signal in the earphones).

I would like to know your recommendation for gaming around the price of the Kph 40 as I need something and have been bouncing around from iems to the ksc75 to Samson sr850 so it would be great to see your recommendation

Nice Grado review!! 🤠

Enjoyed the vid, looking forward to seeing your channel grow! Also, I have a huge head (3xl in hats) about half the headphones I've tried fit at max length. Do you think these would fit?

So.. if we get a balanced 2.5mm cable to the balanced output of a dac, the drivers are already wired for that?

yoooo wooden dankpod

I think the lighting and USB cables also have built in DAC’s that’s why they’re priced that way

Hello, do you know if Yaxi/Venture Electronics Koss Porta Pro pads will fit well in KPH40? What do you think is best, Venture Electronics pads or Yaxi pads? Great video btw, informative! Thanks! Also, is it hard to install these foam pads on Koss KPH40?

Just purchased these I listen to a lot of music and ppl kept saying these were extremely good 👌👌

I've been 'boozled and informed in the span of 17 minutes

Those ear pieces look like clones of the PortaPro classics. Which is interesting. However, the comfort factor looks greater and then there is the detachable cable. A plus!

Your hands look really nice man.

Good video. Need to watch 10 more times to understand audio terminology. Regards from Malaysian utuber

Nice vid

Why would they be unavailable on Amazon. It's been like this for a month at least

But how do they sound vs KPH30i's with the Grado mod?

42 subs? ridiculous. Make it 43! The algorithm pushed you toward me probably because I need a very specific type of review from a fellow audio engineer. God bless.

My kph40 arrived today and I found something strange. When I watch videos or hear music, I hear voice and bass totally from the right but not from the left. For example, while watching your video, I hear only background music from the left and only voice form the right. Is this supposed to be like this? How can I solve this problem? Do I need to buy another cable because the basic cable is the problem?

Hi man! Great video, thanks for posting :) Can I ask you for advice? These or the Samson SR850? I would use them while studying and gaming, therefore they need to be comfortable for long study sessions (not getting my ears on fire would be a big bonus) Having a microphone is an edge, but not a deal-breaker :) Again, thank you in advance if you ever feel like answering!

As someone that owns grado sr325 They clamp pretty hard

Koss NEVER discontinues headphones so successor probably isn’t accurate. XD

This video have good rhythm not too fast and slow 👍

so the imaging on that thing is really accurate for CSGO?

Is it just me or this vid has a hint of Dank' vibe in it ?

Koss KSC75 also….. Excellent

dankpods in an alternate universe

I have ksc75 and kph40, I prefer the 75 but wish it had the bass of the 40, would a pad swap help with bass?

I want these.. but wireless. Do they make a wireless version with these drivers?

does grado G cush fits kph40? or rather recommend to use S cush?

As an accountant in my opinion, the reason why some companies price accessories to the point of being unreasonable is because of the cost to create them and keep them in stock. When a manufacturer creates a product in bulk, there is less cost involve to start creating the next batch since no additional setup is required. But when only a few people are buying certain accessories and they created in the same factory, the cost of halting production just to create a few accessories is not only time-consuming but also costly. That said, I dunno the justification for the $40 price tag. Because of this pricing, a third-party could take this opportunity and just create one for much cheaper. They could have outsourced a third party for the other cables if it's that expensive to make on their end.

Fucking sad that I couldn't get any Koss for their actual price. Big sadge.

i need these

I'm guessing the cable ending with the 3.5mm jack doesn't have a built in mic?

Bit late but can you do a video on the Porta pros utility

I just bought these. These are "open backs"? they sound no louder than any other headphones like this.

Dankpods next generation

usb-c and lightening cables would have to have a dac in them that's why they are $45

RP-HT21M ? what's your thoughts?!

I got the P21 with brushes stainless steel headband and orange ear pads on ebay for $30

You sound like that funny Australian man

do yaxi pads fit these?

Am I the only one thinking that GrandMoffBiscuit sounds really similar to the VA of Hickup from How to Train Your Dragon.

1st Upgrade to the KPH40 Should Be Yaxi Pads

Bigger nails than T -Rex WOW

If you see this Koss, please send me a pair!!!

Mod to take mmcx or 2 pin, problem solve. Plus that detachable cable looks soo flimsy I think it will break easily.

Kph 30i vs oneodio pro 50 which is better

Perhaps the nicest hands of a reviewer? Gorgeous headphones!

The KPH30i sound better To Me but I discovered something that may have just changed all that . I'm Doing a video soon about this .

these compared to the ksc75?

Wrong ... it's 4-pole because there are extension cords with mics which requires 4 conductors.

the headband is beautiful until it breaks.. trust me on that.

m8, USB & lightning cables are not just a cables, those are DACs... Homework not very well done ;/

Drink more water, dude. Your skin changed color each time you touched something.

Sound is still better on kph30i,sorry;(

500

Not godlike, mine broke

Worst headphone review ever

be original

They look like thin piece of shit but many people love them xD. Those G-cush looks like fake, are those original Grado? I got G-cush for my Grado and they dont have that amazing bass that you mention. You sound like a kid maybe your young ears works with cheap headphones better :)
