Customer Review: Didn't believeit, but now I do
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought a Sony walkman radio to use on my daily walks. The headphones that came with it were O.K., but a bit uncomfortable. I swapped those headphones with Sony headphones that I use on my discman, but they didn't sound much different. Just for the heck of it, I tried headphones that several friends use but, again, didn't hear much difference among them. The thing that they all lacked was the bass frequency, which I happen to like whether it is real or exaggerated. It doesn't matter what kind of bass it is, as long as I can hear it. After reading many reviews about many different headphones, I realized that even though some the expensive ones were probably better, I didn't want to spend more on headphones than I did on the radio itself. After reading the reviews about these headphones and how great the bass was, I was dubious that a $14 pair could produce decent bass. I believe it now, and would highly recommend these to anyone who likes bass, the bass that I couldn't hear on the other headphones I tried. In fact, even though I'm not an audiophile, the total sound from these headphones is better than I heard from any of the other headphones. The bottom line is that you have to try these to believe how good they sound. The best $14 I've ever spent on any product.Customer Review: Excellent headphones, especially for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of the reviewers are spot on. These phones are phenomenal for the price - A Mere $14 bucks. I recently lost my $300 pair of Etymotic ER-4P's and at home I use Sennheiser HD-600's with Cardas Cable. These headphones, while they are not quite at the level of refinement and clarity of those phones, are not embarrassed by comparison to them. First of all, KOSS ensures that these phones accentuate the BASS - consequently, they seem to be more rhythmic, and toe-tapping than most other phones, they are solid and have great mid-bass slam and clarity. They actually seem to also have a little low-bass extension as well, much more so than other "ear-buds" and other fare in this price category. To some extent, the frequency response is tilted downward (towards the bass); but actually the KTXPRO1 handles the midrange and highs quite well and are generally smooth and pleasing - although not as detailed as my more expensive phones. Very good midrange interpretation of voice - and the equalization abilities of your portable gear can make them even more rewarding (I like the "Trance" setting on my Rio Karma, really opens the phones up). Way better than the about 10 other cheaper phones I have tried so far, and VERY COMFORTABLE on ear (supra-aural).Customer Review: Great Desk Headphone
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these headphones in 2008 after reading some guy's website about great sounding headphones. I thought that I would give them a try since they were priced for under 20 bucks, and my JBL noise cancellation headphones had just died.
All I can say is, "Wow!"
These headphonse reproduced the same sound and had better highs than the JBL's that just died. They made all of my music on my iPod come alive and I was hearing all of the reverbs and additional background tracks mixed into the music that I never heard before. The bass was good and the sound reproduction is excellent for the price.
You will be hard pressed to find another pair of headphones that produce the same sound quality for the same price. Every person that I let hear these headphones instantly buy a pair.
They also come with a hassle free lifetime warranty, which I did use. Simply send them to Milwaukee with a return address and you will receive another pair of headphones in less than two weeks with no questions asked. Sweet!
Sennheiser nor Grado does that for less than 20 bucks!
Customer Review: had to break my Senn's to even try them
Summary: 5 Stars
So my Sennheiser HD 595 phones developed a hiss in the left speaker, and the warranty has expired. I was so down for a week it was actually kind of sad. I just listen to these things all the time. I am a headphone geek and an audiophile. So I pull these out of the bottom of a box. I had purchased them two years ago for the wife who never used them. I hooked them up to my headfive headphone amp to listen to a podcast. When it ended, it jumped straight to music - and I was blown away. Listen: these are 15 dollar headphones that totally hang with Grado 60s, Sennheiser portables, etc. They destroy crappy skullcandy headphones and overpriced sony phones. If you are a poor highschooler wanting something that 'gets' music, these get it. Channel separation is great on these little things. I cannot believe the bass quality. There is a midbass hump but I think the midrange is richer than some have suggested in other reviews. Will send out the Senns to get fixed, but I won't be crying about it in the meantime. Yes, that is amazing as the Senns are 300 dollar phones.Customer Review: Much better than I expected!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are great headphones. They are much better than I expected and for the price I don't see how you can go wrong.
Great sound. Not 'tinny' like most headphones this type are.
Great fit. They fit snug on my ears and head but not too snug. I've been wearing them on and off for several days, hours at a time, and they don't hurt.
People who've been around me while I've had them on with the sound up can barely hear anything from them. (That's one of the main reasons I bought them - so others in my office don't have to hear my music.)
Of course, the volume control on the cord is a major plus.
So far, the only thing I can see that might possibly go wrong with them is that one or both of the cords going into the speaker might tend to lose good connection. The cord is so small that it seems it may work itself out over time or with a lot of unintentional tugging or pulling on.
Overall, I'm very pleased and didn't expect such great quality for the low price. Great job Koss!
