Summary: Amazing!
Review: These headphones are great. You can't find anything else that sounds this good in this price range. Koss does stereophones right!

I have had my UR-20s for more than a year. They still sound great and have been stuffed into my backpack almost every day since i bought them. One of my size adjuster clips has broken, but it is no doubt due to my reckless use. Even broken, they fit comfortably on the head.

The ear cups are big enough for anyone's ears. They cover your ear completely and do not "crowd" your ear like the smaller UR-29s do.

The bass is amazing and the insulating ring makes such a close seal with your head that you will not hear anything while you have these headphones on. I don't like listening to music while I sleep, but I have used these headphones as noise reducers (without playing any music) on many occasions and bus rides.

Note that these headphones are larger than most. This is probably why they sound so great. I especially like that the headband is made of rubber coated metal to keep the phones close to your head, with a cloth balancing strap below that to make it comfortable in any situation.

Koss is the king as far as affordable, amazing stereophones go. Buy the UR-20s and you'll be glad you did. I have had no problems.

Summary: I totally agree
Review: These sound good, but the stupid plastic things break, the cord came with a short (so the sound always went in and out), and the headpiece wouldn't adjust nearly small enough for a woman with a normal-sized head (me). I bought Sennheiser this time, and I hope they work out. --This text refers to the R-80 option.

Summary: Great Sound
Review: These stereophones have simply awesome sound quality. They sound better than headphones I have listened to that were three times the price. This is one great deal. It you are looking for a great sound for little money these are the phones for you. --This text refers to the R-10 option.

Summary: Single worst product purchased ... ever
Review: These wounded awful and fell apart after two uses. The ear phones are way too heavy for the headset and fell apart.

Do not purchase these. --This text refers to the R-80 option.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: This is a fantastic headphone for the price. It is kinda bulky, but hey I bought it for home use so no problem. The sound is terrific. Very clear and good bass. The coiled cord does not get entangled with your hand. A good buy if you want to use it in home. --This text refers to the R-80 option.

Summary: Uncomfortable as heck, but decent sound
Review: Well, I needed an [inexpensive] set of headphones, and these looked comfortable, and definately [inexpensive], so I bought em. Well, at first, I was thinking, hey, the sound on these are great. 10 minutes later, I was thinking, my heads on fire! Thats right, these things dont let any heat get out of your ears, which is where the most heat leaves your body, so your head gets really hot really fast. Really really hot. Not only that, but the headband is so tight, that no matter how loose they are, they squeeze your head pretyy annoyingly. Every time i listened to these for more than a half hour, I literaly got a headache. The only redeeming qualities are that they're [inexpensive], there's pretty good sound quality, the padding is pretty comfortable, and the cable is 7 feet long, which is actually a mixed blessing. If you're just sitting there, you can move around a lot, and still be able to leave the cd player in one place, however, if you're going for a walk or something, then you keep tripping on the chord, so you hve to stuff it in your pocket. So unless you live in a really cold place, and you need an [inexpensive] pair of headphones, do not buy these --This text refers to the R-10 option.

Summary: Appearance Not so Grand BUT IMPRESSIVE Sound
Review: When I first opened my box I was a bit dissapointed at the looks of my recently bought headphones so I went through and checked the return policy as I carefully opened up the packaging so that it might be returned in proper condition. But when I tried on the headphones to listen to a few mp3s of my iMac I was quite impressed at the sound it provided. I've now been listening to them for over an hour and a half so I've decided to turn in this review. The power behind these headphones is great enough to play extremely loudly without distortion of spund due to the bass. The ear rests are very comfortable (allowing hours of easy listening). These also come with an adapter for larger headphone sockets if your system requires that. I'm keeping this until they're worn. enjoy! --This text refers to the R-10 option.
