They have two foam covers over either side of the stators and driver membrane. So they aren't as defenseless to dust as Stax or other Electrostats.

KOSS said they might bring it back. That's good because I hate the velour and actually think the pleather is MUCH, MUCH, nicer. I hope they improve it somewhere because that would really be an incentive to buy it.
I want the WHOLE kit again. Damn, it was complete for anything.

If the 120v isn't going to be restocked soon, what product would be recommended for an American to make use of the 220v?

SoulBay Universal AC/DC Adapter Multi-Voltage Regulated Switching Power Supply with 8 Selectable Adapter Plugs, for 3V to 12V Home Electronics, 2Amps Max - $14.99
iFi iPower Low Noise DC Power Supply with International Travel Adapters 9V - $49
Use the C tip (the largest one) and presto! Now you have a 120 V version.
Both of these work on my unit that I received today. With the included amp, they seem to sound pretty much identical, so let your power quality nervosa determine how much you want to spend on an adapter.
