tbberwyn's Full Review: Koss TD-80 Consumer Headphones
I bought these headphones after returning a pair of Sony headphones. I've owned them for over two years and have been fairly satisfied with them. For the price, they are close to the sound of Grado phones.
I bought the Koss set because I live in an apartment. I wanted something that would adequately replace my speakers at night. The padding is comfortable. However, after longer periods of wear, they cause my ears to get hot. The cord is annoyingly short. The plug adapter is nice but it isn't attached to the cord and it is a nuisance to have to keep track of it. I often switch the phones between my stereo (which requires the larger jack) and my computer (which uses the smaller jack).
For gaming, the phones deliver deep bass. This makes explosions and gunfire sound great. However, for stereo listening, they are not as accurate as a pair of Grado's. The volume control is perfect for computer gaming.
I would recommend these headphones to someone who isn't interested in the price or high precision of Grado's. I would also recommend them to someone who is not willing to settle with flimsy, limited response headphones.
