mgaskins's Full Review: Koss QZ-2000 Consumer Headphones
What a waste of time ordering these was! I was excited to get them for less than $90 from Amazon auctions. I thought I would save hundreds purchasing these instead of the Bose QuietComfort set. I have got to learn to quit being so cheap.
In my defense, I read the other review on here praising these. I have also read some reviews that weren't glowing about the Bose product (only 71% percent of the reviews recommended the product).
When these were received, I excitedly pulled them from the box. I was a bit disappointed that I got a set that were obviously opened before. However, I was Ok with this as I hadn't paid anywhere near full price. Therefore, I read the descriptions on the box and tried them on. I looked around for someplace to try these. I stepped in the laundry room to see if they would cancel the noise from the dryer. Nope. I clicked the set on and the only difference I noticed was an annoying hissing coming out of one side. Ok, I am immediately disappointed with this set.
Monday, I give them another chance. My car, a Corvette ZO6, produces some wonderful noises on the road. However, it's a bit too noisy cruising on the interstate. So I decided to break the law and risk my life to try out these headphones. Nope, no difference. The cop that passed me after I put them on must have realized they did little to shield any noise, so I was not putting myself or anyone else in danger. Pros: I didn't get a ticket. Cons: Yep, these are absolutely worthless.
If this weren't bad enough, they aren't very comfortable to wear. Even though they hang on your head only loosely, the center of the headpiece pricks you on the top of your head. Who didn't realize they should put a cover over the middle where it might brush your head?
