Summary: These headphones are a hassle!
Review: As a portable music enthusiast I have tried and discarded multiple sets of headphones for many reasons; the sound was lousy, they were too clunky for my lifestyle, or they just didn't look cool. In regards to appearance and sound these headphones come in at 4 stars. However, they fail in a frustrating respect. The chord placement of one side of the headphones juts out from behind the foam pad on the headphone. This causes the foam pad to *repeatedly* fall off and need to be readjusted each time you wear them. The foam falls off at the most inopportune times and it's a miracle I've been able to chase after it and chase it down each time. Though this might not seem like a big deal to some who listens to their music while stationary, this is a huge hassle if you listen to your music with this headphones primarily in transit. Whoever designed these headphones did not design them with the portable audio listener in mind. Not many headphones are, and since most stores only allow you to try on headphones that are in the hundreds price range, sometimes you have to go through dozens of 15 dollar headphones until the find the right one. The real test of any set of headphones, though is how well they survive your day to day use. I don't think there is any price tag for that.

Summary: It hurts with Bad sound and bad design
Review: I was looking for some cheap headphones so got these since Koss had good name in headphones. They hurt above ear when you wear them even for 2 mins. When I hooked them to my Onkyo system, the sound was bad. Only treble and no bass. Sounded like stones rattling in Tin Cans. I ordered Seinheiser HD202 with this for my office use and man ! those rock. Slightly larger than it seems in picture on most sites but the sound is so amazing that I am returning these Koss and getting those by putting some $14 extra. They even sound better than my earlier Seinheiser PX250.
