    Very Stylish

    Written By G N, Honolulu, Hawaii on Monday, May 06, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This is my 3rd headphone with mic and I have found these to be much better than the Sennheiser ones i bought last year. Very stylish but a litttle flimsy looking. Very lightweight with superberb audio quality me and my callers. Like KOSS said, "Hearing is Believing"
    Pros:
    Lightweight and stylish
    Cons:
    The "ComfortZone" adjustment is a little quirky

    These are GREAT!!!

    Written By Soundcrafter, McCleary, WA on Tuesday, April 02, 2013
     
    I have owned four pairs of these. I use them until I break them or wear out the foam ear pads. I use them when I play my drums so I can hear my drums and the music at the same time. I give them as presents as I LOVE the sound quality and how light they are. Did I mention how much I love these? I gave a pair to a drummer friend and he agreed they are the best little headphone he has ever used.
    Pros:
    Light construction, sound guality and great accurate bass reproduction ability.
    Cons:
    I like the old cord material that they used twenty years ago. Now they use a webbing type material that feels weird to me.
