Not overhead, but ordinary ear pads

around the ear instead of pinching it like with headphones or hitting the head. The descriptions here are lies. My ears are small and my head is medium sized for women's hats and the band is too tight on my head and the lenses are too small. The microphone quality is terrible.

Pros
  • understandable also for the old
Cons
  • Modernity

Those are the ones you want.

Excellent headphones for this price. Always, I've always bought this Koss line. This is a definite improvement over older models as the cable is detachable and you can connect any 3.5mm cable to any pair of headphones. Not only that, the opposite headphone jack becomes a daisy chain connection for a friend's headphones to hear what you're listening to if you want to share it.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Secret

Surprisingly good sound for the money

Bought these headphones for my son as he needed a pair for school. Before I gave it to him, I just listened to it and was very surprised. I usually listen to $500 headphones like Beyerdynamics or Fostex, but these very cheap headphones from Koss sound very mature compared to what you usually find in this price range. No shrill highs, but a full and right-sounding upper register; good vocals and mids, as well as a full and not boomy bass. All in all, probably the best headphones you can find in…

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Expensive

Good budget headphones, light and comfortable with good sound

Bought to match the S series color scheme. The sound quality was great, I agree with all the reviews on YouTube. Downforce was good too, could use some foam on top for extra comfort. I have big ears, I managed to squeeze them into the headphones. I'm glad it comes with an interchangeable cord that plugs into either side of the cans, but it seems very cheap. I bought another braided line that didn't break in half while breathing. Overall I'd say it was a very good deal, I've seen headphones…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

On-ears are comfortable but don't have a remote as advertised

These headphones are good for the price but they don't come with a remote and the built in mic has no controls. As such it is not as advertised and the cost should reflect this. Very disappointed. I ordered them twice thinking the first order was missing an item and was refunded as a result. I then re-ordered it hoping it would come with a remote as described, but it didn't. HOWEVER there is a very important reason I bought them and that is because they fit comfortably and work well with on-ear

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • A nuisance

simply WOW performance of $30 cans

people they cost $30. I skimped on headphones when setting up the stream (why did I need headphones), but I did a little research and my conclusion fell on them. Hearing them through the audio interface is a journey, they're damn good. As for gaming I have no doubts and when I listen to music it's so nice for the price. I've had Audio Techs and Grados and they sound so good for $30. I want to remind you again that they cost $30, love them, they are crisp and felt compelled to write a review…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • volume

Good price but uncomfortable

. I have a small head and ears, but these headphones just weren't comfortable to wear for long periods of time. My ears rubbed against the cups, and the round cups were so small (and underfilled) that they painfully pressed against my temple rather than the softer tissue around my ear. Build quality was cheaper than plastic, but I didn't feel like it was going to break at all. The overhead plastic isn't soft at all, and unfortunately the increase in size is more like it's getting 'wider' before

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Hard to remember, but it was

Durable, great value for money; not very practical

For two months my kph30i was in Koss for warranty repair, I bought a pair of these UR42iks as a temporary replacement/free kit. Unfortunately, both attempts failed me - the kph30i they sent me was also damaged, assembled haphazardly; and those UR42iks don't work nearly as well on me. They are not at all comfortable for prolonged use, heavy and very tight that I could wear the kph30i all day and forget I'm wearing them. However, the UR42ik needs to be very durable and hard wearing and, being a…

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Long wait
