Customer Rating:      Summary: Poor Quality Earphones Comment: I purchased this set after reading the excellent reviews here on Amazon. After about a week, the right unit developed a crackle/buzzing that is absolutely unbearable, and within a month the left speaker suffered the same fate. I generally listen to original film scores and "classical" music, both of which are often subtle, and the crackle absolutely ruins the music. One would assume it would only occur with low frequency sound, but this isn't the case. Blasting brass and even piano sonatas can result in the same unremitting buzz at modest volumes (I enjoy my hearing, so I never turn the volume very high). I will send in for another pair when I return to the country, but these are not worth the price. If sound quality is a priority for you (as it is for me), ear buds and these clip on sets will not suffice, so endure the awkward glances and get a set of full-size headphones (many collapsible models are made for transport).
Customer Rating:      Summary: Comfy listening Comment: Love these litle headphones. The ear buds make my ears hurt after a short while, and they tend to fall out, but these earphones are great: good sound, lightweight, and very comfortable. I just ordered my second pair--my daughter absconded with the first one. They've held up too; I once accidentally yanked on one and it came apart. I thought it was a goner until I realized it would just sanp back together. That's engineering I can believe in.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great headphones with lots of Bass Comment: I really like these headphones. Mine did break after a few weeks. The right headphone just stopped working for no reasons. I tried another pair and I did not like them as much. I am going to order another pair of these Koss.
Customer Rating:      Summary: ROCK PHONES! Comment: Well put together, nice and compact 'phones that clip on your ears.
Design gives them an "open" feel as well as no sign of roll-off on either end of the spectrum.
Great for Aerosmith, BTO, GNR or whatever rock band you care to listen to,
boosted bass is overwhelming for classical or jazz.
Nice for the price, the clip does require some getting used to but once you realize that placement doesn't matter all that much for these guys just get 'em on somewhere and rock out!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Affordable Headphones! Comment: I have been looking for these for quite some time. Similar headphones are usually much more expensive and, thus, have been off my list until now.
I am very happy with both the performance and the comfort these phones provide. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. The treble and bass reproduction is very good and actually rivals a more expensive Sony set I own. I would recommend these to anyone looking for an affordable, comfortable headphone.
