Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Nice
Comment: Sound a lot better than my old Jensen headphones. High quality. The volume control has a very smooth action.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome for the value!
Comment: For the size, these headphones give great bass and treble response, and the included inline volume control lets you quickly turn the volume up or down.
Koss has been making these headphones in some form or another for a long time. (Radio Shack used to sell them under the "Pro 25" and "Pro 35" brands, for $39.95!) They have been able to perfect these units over a long period of time, and they do not disappoint!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very solid for the price
Comment: I find these phones to be good sounding and comfortable to wear. The mid-bass is pronounced and can seem a little cloudy at low volumes. However, the overall sound is natural and dynamic with all kinds of music. I have always been a fan of Koss products, and for this price you cannot go wrong.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Just about Perfect for the Price
Comment: Good Output and Average Volume Control. Overall a stratified customer.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Didn't work out
Comment: Sorry to be contrary to most of the opinions here, but my personal experience is that these portable 'phones are dulling to the ears and should be avoided by anyone who loves music and is looking to use them on a heavy basis. The upside is that they seem to eliminate the tape hiss on some recordings--a good attribute--but the bass is indeed normally dull, delayed, unresponsive, muddy and exaggerated; and if your ears try to compensate for the dullness, you'll undo your normal openness and sensitivity to hearing your favorite music and perhaps give yourself a nice headache like I did.
In addition, instead of being drawn closer to the music--as mentioned by another reviewer--I found it true that you are distanced from it, as if you were listening from 5 to 10 rows back. Who needs that? So I sent my set back after four days of steady listening and decided to turn my back on taking a chance with these types of inexpensive (but occasionally good by chance) 'phones.
Shopping for headphones isn't like what it used to be because of the iPod craze. Manufacturers are trying to make the headsets do double duty on both low and high input devices, and they haven't figured it out yet on all of them. After doing a great deal of research on all brands, I wanted great sound *and* comfort, and settled on a $50 pair of heavier but still lightweight Yamahas (but there are many other alternative brands out there). Minus the refund of the money and S&H I spent on the Koss's, I feel like I got the Yamahas for much better sound at a $15 discount, and I encourage others to do more research before expecting too much from any headphones in this prices range if you're not on a tight budget. On the other hand, if your money is tight, I'd still look at other Koss models or to another brand. It may only be a few dollars for these things, but if it doesn't work out, you have to repackage the whole shebang and this is inconvenient and time consuming. Maybe I just got a bad pair, but I don't think so. There was no obvious distortion or cracking of the sound, but the deadening dullness was not something I was willing to live with. It's too bad, because I liked the design and look of them very much.
