The real thing and cheap!!!September 19, 2008 DJ quality and they fit my big head. Ten stars would be more like it.
Great quality for price paidJuly 12, 2008 Just got mine a few days ago and I must say that I am very impressed!!! The sound quality is phenomenal, they fit securely( but not too tight around the head), the ear pieces completly cover my ear and while not noise canceling they do block a lot of the outside noise. The sound is amazing!! The bass is nice and deep with no distortion noticed. My only concern is the plastic adjustable frame which the head phones are encased. From what I have read these have a tendency to crack or break. This would be a concern if the headphones were in the higher price range, but since they are under 20.00 if this does happen I can replace them ( or duct tape them) without too much cost. Excellent sound quality for a very reasonable price. Much better sound quality than my sony headphones which I paid twice as much for.
These things are built to lastJuly 1, 2008 I have had these headphones for about 7 years now. I have been very rough with them at times. They have been dropped, stepped on, and otherwise crushed. One side where you adjust the fit cracked years ago and is now held very securely together by about half a roll of electrical tape. The fabric which rests upon the user's head frayed, and I had to MacGyver scrap fabric (from an inferior, broken pair of headphones) over the affected area. The material around the cushion is disintegrating, as is the foam pad between the speakers and the user's ears. Yet despite all this, I am proud to say that they still sound as good as the day I bought them. These things last forever - It never ceases to amaze me. Well done, Koss. Well done.
A great product which withstood the test of time.June 16, 2008 I bought this exact model of headphone from Amazon on July 14, 2005. (At least that's the date Amazon says I bought it on.) They lasted me 3 years before they became unusable from wear-and-tear. And when I say wear-and-tear, I mean a 3-year beating.
I used it between my computer and my stereo system the whole time on a near daily basis of changing between the two. The plug withstood it all. I've yanked the cord (which is about 8-feet long), dropped the headset, tossed the headset while plugged in, crushed the headset under everything from books to a computer (long story on that one), and on more occasions than I can count, fallen asleep and rolled on top of them. They took all the punishment and kept going.
The worst damage that occured was that a piece of the plastic over the Logo oval and below the slider stop on the earpiece (you can see it in the picture) on the inside of the headband broke off after 2 years of me overstretching the headset, and that was easily resolved by replacing the plastic piece that broke off back in place and wrapping the area with some black electrical tape.
The sound quality is exceptional. You can hear the highs and lows of every note in a song and clearly understand every part of a conversation in a game or video. And once they are on your head, outside sounds are gone. Someone could crash their car into your house and you wouldn't hear it.
It finally broke after the wiring in the right earpiece couldn't take my abuse anymore, and even then I was able to get it to work on-and-off for a month after that before it finally said no more.
It survived all that and I only paid $25 for it. All in all this headphone is tank-like in the long run. I'm planning to buy two more. It's a great headset and worth every cent considering how long it lasts.
Decent for the priceMay 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
To emphasize a couple of points made on other reviews. 1) These are fairly comfortable, passively block noise pretty well, and sound quite good. 2) they look and feel like inexpensive headphones, not bad, but no better than the $35 they cost. 3) I thought the detachable cable would have a standard 1/8" connector, but it is actually a phone jack connector on the headphone side, not very robust. 4) The impedance on the Koss website says 60 ohms, but on the actual package it says 112 ohms. 5) The wire from one side to the other is under the band, i.e. against your scalp, so if you are bald like me you have a soft, lightly padded band with a wire bump against the top of your head - its not terrible, just not ideal. Overall, these are acceptable given the price.
