Koss R 80

Pros: High quality, low price, comfortable

Cons: Size adjustment tabs are fairly loose and cheaply made; In-cord volume would have been nice

The Bottom Line: These headphones provide more than enough quality for the average audiophile at a much lower price than the competition.

Review: 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...

Pros: Soft pads enclose your ears. Great sound!!

Cons: Where would I get a replacement cord?

The Bottom Line: A great mix of near-audiophile quality and consumer price. If you finally want to ditch those of walkman-style headphones for something good, get these.

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


History:

- In use for two years
- Used with Sony and Aiwa mini-systems, a Sony minidisc player, an Apple PowerMac...

Pros: Price, Comfort, Sound Quality

Cons: None

Review: 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)...

Pros: comfortable, lifetime warranty

Cons: poor bass, low quality

The Bottom Line: Don't bother buying these headphones. They are a waste of money. Go for a higher-end pair of headphones.

Review: 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...

Pros: Comfortable all day. Good fidelity. Strong bass.

Cons: I hoped for even better isolation.

The Bottom Line: These are an excellent value for their balance of isolation, comfort, and fidelity.

Review: 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...

Pros: sound, value, bass response, eliminates surrounding noises

Cons: maybe too big for some people

The Bottom Line: BEST PHONES I HAVE EVER HEARD- and for the money, why argue?

Review: 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...

Pros: Coiled, 3-D DSP, comfortable

Cons: Cant wear for long periods of time

Review: 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...

Pros: good price

Cons: quality

The Bottom Line: If you want some headphones with good sound get them but they break fast.

Review: 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...

Pros: Sound is good when working proper.

Cons: There should be better quality control.

Review: 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.

Pros: THE SOUND!! better than others costing 3-4 times More.

Cons: None so far, but I have not had these long..

The Bottom Line: SOUND SOUND SOUND. These are the great. Who needs to spend 200 dollars on headphones? No one if they hear the R-80s first!

Review: 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...
