  • Tadpoles That Sing

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 27, 2003
    Pros: Portable, Surprisingly good sound quality, Convenient
    Cons: Does not filter out background noise, Cord is short

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Definitely the best choice at this price point

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

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

  • Awesome sound and design...pinches top of ears though

    Jun 24, 2006
    Pros: Great sound. Look awesome. Awesome original clip design.
    Cons: Pinches top of ear. Cable is 3'. Susceptible to interesting damage.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Listen up: these clip-ons truly deliver!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 21, 2005
    Pros: Crisp, clear sound; portability; comfort; cost
    Cons: Leaky sound; durability; comfort?

    Summary: 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. ... read more

  • Koss Ear Clip Headphones: These Just Might Be The Ones!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 26, 2003
    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.

    Summary: 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; ... read more

  • Koss has done it again, with clips!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 13, 2003
    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

    Summary: ***** - 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, ... read more

  • Possibly the best portable headphone!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 30, 2003
    Pros: Stylish design, very comfortable and superb sound reproduction.
    Cons: Clip lightly clings on ears making it fall if you are running.

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

  • less than stellar sound

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 22, 2003
    Pros: Lightweight, comfortable, good sound
    Cons: weak bass, harsh highs

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • The best headphone value

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 8, 2003
    Pros: Balanced, detailed sound with good bass response
    Cons: Sound leakage; cloth cord on older model frays and tangles easily.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • What kind of ears should I have?

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 31, 2002
    Pros: Great sound! Good looking.
    Cons: Don't really stand on the ears.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • They really kick Sony's butt

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 1, 2002
    Pros: Excellent Sound, cool look, right price
    Cons: Poor Durability

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Forget Sony !

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 27, 2002
    Pros: Comfortable, good bass and frequency response.
    Cons: For this price, NONE!

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Plan B

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 7, 2002
    Pros: Lightweight, great, amazing, awesome sound for $20 'phones, braided cord
    Cons: rather loose, takes a while to get used to them

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Great Sound!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 3, 2002
    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.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Don't do it.

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 18, 2002
    Pros: Fit well onto the ear.
    Cons: Sound is horrible

    Summary: These headphones were very disappointing. I bought them at a Sam Goodie and they cost me $20. I have an mp3 player and broke the headphones that came with it. I purchased these and I cannot believe how poorly they have performed. The only thing that ... read more

  • instead of spending $15 on these, i would save

    Pros: good, airy sound
    Cons: lacks bass

    Summary: i was looking for a light pair of headphones that i could use to listen to music without drawing attention to myself. i figured that my best bets would either be an earbud type of headphone or this type that wrap behind your ear. i have had bad luck ... read more

  • No bass

    Jul 17, 2004
    Pros: Light, easy ear clip
    Cons: No bass, don't fit tightly in the ear

    Summary: These Koss headphones are earbud-style with a soft rubber ear clip, designed to stay on securely for active users. To make this review short, don't buy them - the sound is poor, and the fit in the ear is not very good. They have almost no bass,
