Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Comfort
Review: For the price, this is a marvel of comfort: soft, smooth padding around the ears and a broad, flexible headband. The wire too is flexible and long. The sound is clear and the sound isolation excellent. I'm no audiophile - simply a happy customer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: decent quality at a decent price
Review: If you're looking for some good quality headphones but don't want to spend a lot on top-of-the-line quality, the Koss UR15C headphones are definitely a good choice. The sound is far clearer and the bass is much deeper than in any other economy-priced headphones I've tried... overall they're comparable to other headphones in around the $40 price mark.

The adjustable size headset has plenty of sizes to choose from and importantly, it doesn't slip from one size to the next when you're wearing them. The ear covers are large and you can fit your whole ear inside the headphone (I hate when it sits on your ear, instead of covering it). My only gripe is the cheap stretchy covering on the headphone padding... in any other headphones I've owned, that stuff wears away quickly and starts to tear and fall off... not a huge problem but a mild annoyance. But for $20, you can't expect the highest quality for everything here.

Overall, I give these Koss headphones a 4 out of 5 rating. Good middle-of-the-road choice.

Summary: Excellent
Review: These are excellent headphones. It has a long cord so you can actually have room between you and you're CD Player. And the headphones are huge so you don't have these little cover things and you can barely hear out of them. Excellent 100%

Summary: Problematic
Review: Well, I bought these headphones and loved them at first, but only two weeks later they started having problems. The right earphone became significantly quiter then the left, and now the left earphone shorts down at the jack (if i wiggle it around enough i can get it too work, but i have to hold it. The bass isn't really all it's worked up to be from the package, but its not bad either. One listen to John Mayer's "Clarity" at a decent volume level and they will distort, and they dont cancel anysound what so ever. They seem to let more noise in than most smaller headphones (I know they're not "noise-canceling" but they let in a LOT of noise). <br /><br />However, the sound quality is decent and they are fairly comfortable; a, little big actually. Maybe they are worth the money though, because they have a lifetime warranty and can be replaced for 6 bucks plus what you pay to ship them there, and you get little crappy ones with them. I guess you can't expect much from 20 dollar headphones... save up and buy some nice ones (Senneheiser 212 Pro) 2x the price, but 100 times better. <br /><br />Just save the recipt and box and return them if you are having problems.
