Why are these twice the cost of the regular porta pros? Other than the handy iphone control nodule, are these greatly improved over the regular porta pros?

Yeah agreed here. I hope they come down in price. I have several pair of the regular ones (for work & home, etc.) but this price is just too much.

Exact same specs as the regular portapros. I was looking forward to these but I don't think I can justify this purchase if its twice as much as the ones without the ipod controls.ktc specs:http://www.koss.com/en/products/headphones/on-ear-headphones/PortaProKTC__Porta_Pro_KTC_On_Ear_Headphoneregular specs:http://www.koss.com/en/products/headphones/on-ear-headphones/PortaPro__Porta_Pro_On_Ear_Headphone

Just bought a pair at a local sporting goods store. They're supposed to have bigger ball bearings (thus smoother rotation) and appear bigger than the original Perfect Pushups. Also they're manufactured by a different company, although both endorsed by the same creator, Alden Mills. Also they're about double the price. I would say they're worth it if you don't mind the price tag.

As I understand the issue - and, granted, I may be mistaken, but this is what the information I've gathered suggests - the Intuous is a higher-grade model. How so? Three ways that I know of: 1) Software package. The Graphire comes with one suggested to be worth roughly $100; the Intuous with one about $200. (Personally, I'm of the opinion that both are slightly undervalued, compared to how much they'd cost if you actually tried to purchase the individual pieces of software in a computer store.) 2) Sensitivity. The Intuous has something like twice the sensitivity levels. The Graphire isn't INsensitive, certainly, but the Intuous has amongst the highest sensitivity levels I've EVER heard of in graphics tablets. Sensitivity being useful for increased control - the harder you press, the darker or broader the strokes, etc. Increased sensitivity means there's a wider array of possible results from a given stroke, and so more control so you get EXACTLY the look you want. 3) Secondary buttons. Graphire has a couple, Intuous has several. These are, oh, somewhat like buttons in a modern gaming joystick, insofar as that they can be mapped to pretty much any key or combination of keys you like. Maybe you have one button that switches your tool to Pencil mode, and another to Eraser, and a third to Airbrush, or whatever. This way you don't have to constantly go back to your keyboard or mouse to switch configurations. The more buttons you have, the more things can be linked, and, theoretically, the less often you'll need to move your hands away from the tablet yourself, which maximizes efficiency.

I have a '06 Civic and an iPhone 6. I just got mine delivered. The box says it's for the 5, 5s, and 5c. Mine did not come with a 'stabilizer' as previously mentioned. When you coil it and lean it against the front of the dash it's pretty stable. So here are my gripes. On my iPhone 6 the plastic 'base' where the metal coil meets the lightning connector, it blocked the aux headphone jack just enough that I couldn't use the Une Bobine and have my aux cable plugged in at the same time. This is a major bummer for me because my Civic has an aux-in port that I always use to pump my tunes/mapping app through my car speakers. I started researching "8mm headphone jack to bluetooth adapters" and came up with some results, but at $30/pop that was not cool. I was thinking all I needed to do was "shave maybe 4cm" off the left side of the solid plastic base. So with my dremel (extremely handy tool to have) I patiently and carefully reshaped the plastic base just enough so I could utilize the headphone jack. Now all is well, and I'm expecting the setup to be perfect when I start to use it in the car. However, it's not realistic for everyone to 'hack' their own Une Bobine to actually make it useful. But that was my solution at least.. 3/5

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere.I should've just purchased them before :(I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular.edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID;=43&prodID;=156 It is listed as discontinued.I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

I love my pad caster, but found that, for myself, I prefer specific accessories. You need an irig adapter for the microphone to be utilized by the iPad...not in the kit and the mic quality is worth buying a better item. I personally like the Rode mics. Mine was about $250.Get an LED that is dimmable and possibly color adjustable. I bought the Zeikos ZE-2X72B 72mm 2X TelePhoto high definition lens, and its wide angle counterpart. They are sharp and crisp at the edges and low cost....$30 ea You will need some adapters for the various footed items, $5ea and a manfrotto mini clamp with double ended stud.The Padcaster itself is only $100-150.

Hi there I just checked and the suggested retail price for these is $999.99. Certainly the $4899 price is an error, I'll have to contact amazon support about that. Nonetheless, we do have them on sale right now, and the touch screen operation on the 740s is very effective, even in wet conditions. I hope that helps, please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks from Scott at Maple Leaf GPS

Same thing here. They were even cheaper than $120 not so long ago. I end up buying them from another on-line retailer for ~$114.00 No point in paying the current price when we know what these things really cost.

The Nue Era's are not strictly "i - centric" although when i wrote my review it was after trying them with my i phone 5. I still think they are way overpriced for what the sound response is. klix works.

Hardly "wasting" money in my view, they're a great set of headphones. But you'll get better results using high-bitrate or uncompressed audio and a better output than Apple, like a Cowon music player. There are also small portable amps you can use with the iPhone. The iPhone audio isn't tops but it's not that bad either.

Mine was $15., usual is$20. I think, maybe try most regular. They do work well.

Hi, I just checked Amazon and at this moment, the AUA2 adjustable auger is $68.14; the AU-S6, the non-adjustable is $58.45. So the adjustable auger IS more expensive than the non-adjustable. Good luck!

My wife actually uses this keyboard and she likes it very much. She was a secretary and used to a Selectric. I don't remember any problem installing it but I think there is a switch that you flip if you are using it on a Mac. The instructions were adequate and no problem with installation. After you select IMac on the switch it was plug and play. I use a MACALLY keyboard on my IMac which cost about a third of the Matias Tactile pro and would recommend it but they are hard to find. It does not have the same feel as the Matias but still much better than the toy wireless board that comes with the IMAC. My wife actually uses this keyboard and she likes it very much.

No, $4.99 each. It has 4 electrodes in 1 plug - that is the unique feature you are paying so much for. At least they are all adjusted already.

I'd suggest cable management, i.e., Velcro strips to wrap around the stand and support the break out cable(s) before and after inset points. The I/O and power ports are small and delicate, and One is not designed for commercial grade use. Everytime I use it, I'm AMAZED by it awesomeness. Summary: Use TLC, and you'll be good. If you depend on it for critical work, get extra breakout and Lightning cables. Also, a USB power adapter available at Bix Power, Model CAB-Z4. About $5 on sale. Use it in your car. I use Apple's Beats Music, unparalleled quality. Guaranteed it'll sound like a 5K upgrade! :)
