  • GREAT SOUND, GREAT VALUE

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 27, 2001
    Pros: sound, value, bass response, eliminates surrounding noises
    Cons: maybe too big for some people

    Summary: Koss is probably one of the best manufacturers for headphones. The general trend is the bigger the better, pretty much... and these are pretty big. I can't recommend anything smaller than these because of the fantastic sound quality and price of these ... read more

    Cons: Where would I get a replacement cord?

    Summary: UPDATE: I am rewriting my previous review since it was lousy. I hope the new version is more helpful ... read more

    Pros: THE SOUND!! better than others costing 3-4 times More.
    Cons: None so far, but I have not had these long..

    Summary: The sound is REALLY good, as good as phones in the 200 dollar range, in my opinion. The bass is deep, and tight, with presence. And the highs are really clear with no tinny sound. Everyone that hears them comments on how clear they sound. They go plenty ... read more

    Pros: Studio Quality, Comfortable, Inexpensive
    Cons: None

    Summary: these are the best headphones that i have ever owned. i believe that they are at the bottom of Koss's studio line of headphones. one good feature of this unit is the detachable cord, which can probably be replaced by a longer one or one with a ... read more

    Pros: comfortable, lifetime warranty
    Cons: poor bass, low quality

    Summary: I bought these headphones a year ago and I am very disappointed. On a low volume they sound great. The music is very clear and pleasant sounding. If I turn them up loud they lose their quality. The reason they lose their quality is because the bass does ... read more

    Pros: Comfortable all day. Good fidelity. Strong bass.
    Cons: I hoped for even better isolation.

    Summary: These headphones are comfortable to wear all day. I'm no audiophile, just an amateur musician who expects fidelity. To my ear the sound is outstanding. I listen to jazz, classical, and vocals. I like the deep bass that comes through. As for ... read more

  • For the money, an incredible quality!

    Pros: Excellent sound, bass, and comfort!!!
    Cons: No on-cable volume control

    Summary: I was searching for the perfect set of headphones. The only problem, I was a little strapped for cash. I actually came across this little gem on eBay. The price was right, but knew it was a gamble because I wasn't able to hear them or try them on ... read more

  • Big sound, little money

    Pros: High quality, low price, comfortable
    Cons: Size adjustment tabs are fairly loose and cheaply made; In-cord volume would have been nice

    Summary: When a professional A/V technician bought a co-worker of mine some Koss R 80 headphones, I took that as a pretty strong endorsement. For about $30, these headphones have more than enough sound for the casual audiophile. These closed-ear ... read more

    Summary: I own a pair of these koss headphones and im not complaining about the quality of the sound but the they just break. One day i brought my headphones to the club and put them in my gym bag. Like most people you have the little tiny headphones that dont ... read more

    Feb 7, 2001
    Pros: Great Sound and Very Comfortable!
    Cons: None

    Summary: I live in a small house, and there is not alot of room for speakers. The only solution for me was to get headphones. I have tried several lower end sony pairs as well as some from cheap :) Senheiser headphones, but when I first put on the Koss R/80s I ... read more

    Pros: Price, Comfort, Sound Quality
    Cons: None

    Summary: I'd been looking for a decent set of headphones ever since my old ones started deteriorating and leaving black dust on my ears. Then there was a half price sale at Radioshack and my friend Steve got the last pair. I believe those were $100.00 (CDN) ... read more

  • Finally some good cans and a great price

    Pros: Coiled, 3-D DSP, comfortable
    Cons: Cant wear for long periods of time

    Summary: I got the R-100 and at first glance were blown away. The packaging seemed professional and the cans were very appealing. The model I received had two cords, both with coiled wiring. One coiled wire had a 3-d DSP on it that was very neat to play with. ... read more

    Pros: Sound is good when working proper.
    Cons: There should be better quality control.

    Summary: The conection cord was not tight at the head set. Keeps falling out and there is no stereo sound because of the bad conection. Would not recommend. John

  • Clear, but uneven sound

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Sep 30, 2003
    Pros: Clear sound, loud, good highs, comfortable
    Cons: Uneven bass & treble, volume balance

    Summary: I bought these online, and tried them as a result of opinions on epinions.com. At first the headphones were uncomfortable, but started to fit right after a few hours. The construction on these headphones seem good, but the coiled cord is a bit annoying
