Review on Koss KPH14G Side Firing Headphone (Green) by Justin Guldin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Warm them up for a perfect fit

These are decent quality headphones but not for premium sound. I really like the side firing design and they are very light. When they arrive they are too tight for most heads and create an uncomfortable pressure in your ears. But there is a very simple solution. Simply heat the top plastic loop that goes over the head and hold it in a wider position until they cool. Presto. Now they're stretched forever and don't squeeze the insides of your ears. I think the best way is to boil water in a wide pot. When the water is boiling, hold the top of the headphones (the part that goes over your head) under water for about 10 seconds. This makes the plastic malleable. Take them off and let them cool while holding them stretched. They're ready in about a minute and will keep that shape forever.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Some complications
