Many of my friends do have the G74 or the unfoldable version. I have tried, and its nothing great. PX200 if positioned properly beats it hands down. BTW I had once owned a PX100 but I thought its not worth what I paid for it. Muddy, slow sound, nowhere even near the PX200. Hence at this point of the PX200 being "slower" I disagree with the head-fi reviewer. Also, its behind KSC-35. Assuming a cost of $50 for the KSC-35, I would expect a price of about $30+(higher end of 30s) for the Sony's sound. Of course its miles ahead of the MDR-Q55 (thankfully). I was indeed pleasantly surprised by its sound given the bad experience with MDR-Q55. The overall sound of the G74 is pretty sony signature, typically cold sound with very awkwardly coloured mids (not so bad for this pair).Compared with other Sony streetstyles its a winner, but I'm not sure how it compares to KSC50/55 as I haven't tried them. I am quite sure the koss will give u a run for your money. I can't say the same for the Sonys.

wow very informative post i must say =) thx a lot for the review....

i'm starting to get a clearer picture of the g74...i might just give the koss phones a try now...

i understand what u mean by awkwardly coloured mids....it's a real pain on the Q55s >_<

cool...can consider it now....

i almost bought the g74 today...but my mind was like "hmmm maybe i should try koss...its cheaper too...." then the other part of me said "but i fee safer with sony" ....dunno wad to do " if only i can get to try both to see for myself

hmmm i thought 55 is also a behind the neck phone?

one thing i forgot to mention is...some headphones.....make the music sound like its coming from a distance whereas the good ones don't have this effect

cool info

will check back soon

still undecided...taking my own sweet time haha

thx for the frequency response post....

hey! do u mean the portapros can fold down into a behind the neck band too?!?!?!

is the ksc 35 even available here? it seems rare >_<

hey i've been looking at the koss phones available here....as much as i want the portapro....i don't think i wanna buy a normal headband type phone. So i'm left with the ksc 55....how does this compare with the g74? clarity and bass wise...taking into account that the ksc 55 is much cheaper and less of a hassle to carry around...oh and does anyone know the exact frequency response of the g74?

thx alot! will check it out

is it possible to get koss headphones in singapore? i don't know where to find them >_<

lol sure thing....just hope it's not as muddy as the q55 and has the poor bass of q66 =x

i've yet to buy a good pair of headphones for the past 2 years

cool thx! ...i'm more or less set on buying the g74 now

I've heard that the dt-770 is a real bass monster but unfortunately it does not fit into your clip-on/behind neck criteria. Perhaps get a portable player with more adjustable EQ settings for bass?

thx for the reply....

the thing is...i already have an ipod which i believe is gonna be my portable player for at least the next year to come =s

I've been checking out certain websites...and i'm trying to decide between a few headphones. I recently bought the sony MDR Q66...but the bass just isn't good enough...my previous MDR Q55 AIR was better with the bass but doesn't sound as crisp and clear as the Q66....so i'm trying to find a good pair of headphones with a balance of both bass and clarity...or do they call it detail? im not sure lol

I tested the sennheiser pmx 60....the mids and highs were extremely clear....but i didnt manage to test the bass cause the sample songs didn't have bass at all. Any input on this model?

I listen to various kinds of music....from pop to jazz to rock to techno...so i would prefer headphones that can dish out some booming type of techno bass instead of the tight punchy kind of bass...and i'm only looking for the clip-on type or behind the neck type of headphones...which unfortunately don't have very good sound quality. I was looking at the Sony MDR G74 which is the neckband kind...but i'm quite afraid of sony now....with their somewhat muddy sound

Any help would be appreciated and sorry for the long post

Update: tried out the mdr g64 today....it was quite decent...compared to my current headphones....if the g74 sounds anything like the g64 or better.....i think i'll have to settle for it and forgo the pmx 60
