Koss KSC-50 Consumer Headphones

Pros: Vastly superior in sound to any product anywhere near its price
Cons: Slightly uncomfortable earclips, high impedance (60 Ohm) design

I recently bought an MP3 player, and like many people, found it impossible to use the earbuds that c ...

Pros: Great sound. Look awesome. Awesome original clip design.
Cons: Pinches top of ear. Cable is 3'. Susceptible to interesting damage.

I bought these earphones after I saw a review of a DVD player written on a website like MSNBC. The guy was reviewing some portable DVD player at Walmart and mentioned that to compliment the excellent DVD player he suggested buying the KSC50. He ...

Pros: Crisp, clear sound; portability; comfort; cost
Cons: Leaky sound; durability; comfort?

Scenario: One year ago, I'm standing in the headphone department of Best Buy holding $25 in my hand. My Mission: Find and purchase a pair of headphones using the money in my hand. They must be small and portable without forfeiting too much sound quality. ...

Pros: very good sound quality - Very efficient
Cons: Hard to get a good fit - Fairly uncomfortable

Introduction- Since my recent purchase of the Sony D-NE510 portable CD Walkman, I've been on a relentless quest for affordable headphones that deliver better sound than the ones it came with. I've become obsessed with this! Unfortunately, as I've ...

Pros: Great sound for the price. More comfortable than most others I've tried.
Cons: Won't stay put during strenuous activity. Lacks bass at high volumes.

This is the sixth pair of headphones I’ve tried in as many months. Really. If you don’t believe me, go check my other reviews. I have four requirements: They must be comfortable; they must provide pretty good but not audiophile quality sound; ...

Pros: Exceptional sound quality, very clear and clean sound, bass lows are impressive, nice look
Cons: Clips can be tight around upper back of ears, slight low hiss, weren't spring adjustable

***** - 5/5 stars I've been a walkman fanatic since my days of junior high (grad student now). I've always enjoyed "traveling in stereo" everywhere I go. Some of the various makers I've sampled for headphones are the following: Sony, Toshiba, JVC, Koss, ...

Pros: Stylish design, very comfortable and superb sound reproduction.
Cons: Clip lightly clings on ears making it fall if you are running.

For those "number" persons, let me start with the specifications as written on the label: Frequen ...

Pros: Lightweight, comfortable, good sound
Cons: weak bass, harsh highs

I've been looking for a pair of hat-friendly headphones that could rival the sound of my Optimus Pro45's (Koss SportaPro) and I read several favorable reviews of these. I figured that Koss made a good product so I bought them without trying them out...

Pros: Portable, Surprisingly good sound quality, Convenient
Cons: Does not filter out background noise, Cord is short

I have been a huge fan of Koss brand headphones for years. When the foam ear cushions began to wear on my last pair of headphones, I decided to by a new set. I found an excellent price at Radioshack on a set of Koss headphones...

Pros: Balanced, detailed sound with good bass response
Cons: Sound leakage; cloth cord on older model frays and tangles easily.

I have had my Koss KSC-50 earphones for over a year now. I purchased them without doing any research. Now that I am researching and trying out many other higher end headphones (I need a closed set for noisy situations), I am continually surprised by how...

Pros: Great sound! Good looking.
Cons: Don't really stand on the ears.

Great looks and sound!! And surely cheap. BUT hey did these guys really try them? These don't really stand, always shaking, dancing on the ears when you walk like pairs of cherries! I was amazed by the lack of grip, and am wondering about the kind of...

Pros: Excellent Sound, cool look, right price
Cons: Poor Durability

I love Koss ... they really know how to make an excellent pair of headphones. The KSC-50's, which I bought at Best Buy sound amazing on my iPod -- almost as good as my Grado SR-60's. They have a good amount of preciseness and clarity. In fact, they...

Pros: Comfortable, good bass and frequency response.
Cons: For this price, NONE!

I needed a lightweight earphone/headphone as an alternative to my Sennheiser HD580-- they're great, but the bulkiness of the thing makes it unsuitable for use with walkmans or while traveling. The first earphone I got was a Sony for around $15. It was...

Pros: Lightweight, great, amazing, awesome sound for $20 'phones, braided cord
Cons: rather loose, takes a while to get used to them

I have deleted my original review and plan to start anew. As stated in "cons" these phones do take a while to get used to. When I first tried them, for about an hour I hated them. I listened to them some more, and I have grown to like them alot...

Pros: Absolutely great sound. Transparent, no colouring of high and mid-range. Solid bass.
Cons: Poorly designed to clip on ears. Always loose, they wiggle around as I walk.

This is the twin brother of the KTX-PRO by Koss, but instead of an over-the head headband, these clip on separately to each ear. Unbelievable sound, it's addicting to listen to it. The titanium diaphragm makes for good, solid bass, but not boomy. Totally...
