Best Audiophile Headphone Below 7k
a well thought-out course !
Aramex f'n screwed with my delivery, lets see, shipped on 18th, reached kolkata yesterday, still not delivered, website shows "Out for delivery," delivery my foot, whenever I call them, they say its going to be delivered today, keeps saying that even at 8PM, what? Aramex does overnight delivery?
Aramex played evil games even in my case!
PN has deal only with Aramex. I had asked PN to ship it with any other courier, then he said, shipping charges would be extra for them. I was even ready for that, but my order had already been shipped.
@tkin - Congrats on getting M35, FINALLY

Hey, shoabroadonline(ICCworld) is giving me a quote of 3k for the portapro, is ICCworld trusted?Hmm..good days are gone for audio lovers!
IIRC ICCworld is pretty same as SnS. 3k is good, but do confirm about warranty & RMA handling.

They already say in the form that I'll have to pay for shipping incase I want to claim rma, I'll mail koss today to see if they have ay option for overseas rma.
I might be going to singapore this june, in that case I'll get it from there, should cost less.

@ tkin - PortaPro would be for portable use to you ?!
OP

Yup.
Now I have to make a choice.
Porta Pro: Awesome bass, good sound signature, and soundstage, balanced "fun" sound, portable, comfy, and its a legend(30yr old headphone), its a sort of collectors item. For cons: Its costing 2x the price, plus no warranty here.
PX100 II: Good sound signature like Portapro, a bit darker sound, but tighter than portas, portable and comfy, and has 2 yrs Indian warranty, price is justifiable as it costs as much as US counterpart here as Senn has official presence in India.
Cost for both is 3k(Koss by ICCWorld shopabroad), Senn is available locally.
Someone suggest please, am inclined towards the senn for warranty.

Found this link a few days before, hope it helps.
Also consider V-JAYS for a portable headphone.

I got Bose QuietComfort 3. Testing them now and they are quite kickass. Downside - no battery, no music. Has a spare chargeable battery though. Battery lasts for 20 hours they say. This is just my first day. Will post further details when I test them more. Music sounds great. Yet to test movies.

First Impressions: Beyond groovy man, this is unbelievable, this HP is sold at 17 Pounds in UK, thats 1.3k, for 1.3k this is just a steal, bass is awesome, its different from M35, its more lively, more warm, its fun, the soundstage is very good, very balanced sound, isolation is non existent, but its open type, I turned the fan off in my room in this heat just to listen to the sound, hell yeah. And voice is more clearer than M35, this is what open headphones are all about.
This is teh cake!!
I will buy more of this if it ever breaks, I will keep using this phone till I die, or the company dies.
PS: I got ripped off for this, had to buy it for 4k, it used to sell for 3.6k in flipkart, its imported by Betta, and its available in select shops, this is the list. I had to buy it for full MRP as it was being sold in an Apple Store(F**k You Apple), comes with atleast one year warranty, I say one year because store says so, but look at the bottom pic by importer.

Price isn't that different, add 100/- shipping to that.
Whoa, Koss gives Lifetime Warranty on the portapro, even in India, amazing, now I don't mind paying them 4k for the phones. Even flipkart says Lifetime for Koss.
This is what koss India(betta) mailed me.
