Summary: Dont get them! Spend the Extra money!
Review: I was debating between these and some facier pairs on ebay and boy did I regret it. These are heavy, bulky, and not comfortable on my ears. They sound pretty good, the base is great, but not worth giving up comfort. My neck even hurts wearing these because the headphone are so heavy. Its like putting a textbook on top of your heard for a couple of hours. Its also such a relief when i take them off for my ears. My ears were red. They should make them out of more plastic rather than metal. Next time I will spend the extra [money] to get a better pair.

Summary: Affordable and good quality!
Review: I watch tv and I listen to music. I am also a college student who lives in a dorm and thought to use headphones to not disturb others while I'm listening to sound, but also to get good quality sound without hearing the outside distractions.PROS:
The Koss TD80 is comfortable to wear for an extensive amount of time, around 3 hours at least and is closed to outside noise. The ear cushions are very soft and form to your ears, but may make you feel inclosed and hot if warm them in above room temperature. The headband part that rests on the top of your head is of good quality, but would be better if it had a back strap option so when you lower your head to do something, it doesnt fall forward from the weight. The volume adjuster one each side of the Koss TD80 headphones are great because if you are like me, and you have one ear that hears better than the other, then you can adjust the volume to sound equally distributed. The sound is wonderful. Nice bass and treble throughout the headphones. The sound is even better when you can use a program like PowerDVD to adjust the headphones to sound differently, like DolbySurround, TruSoundXT or Stereo, etc. CONS:
The coil cord tends to pull on one side of the headphones when you are more than a couple feet outstretched. Also the coil cord is weighty enough that it also causes one side of the headphones to droop. I strongly recommend getting a headphone extension cord. The headphone size adjuster is a bit too loose for my convenience. I have to adjust it every time I wear the headphones because the notches seem to come loose and doesn't lock, instead it sort of just slightly clicks. Or maybe they are worn out too easily. OVERALL:
I've had my Koss TD80 for about 3 years now, and I recommend these affordable headphones for frequent to dailiy use. They work well when using it to hear audio on the computer [where I watch TV and listen to mp3s].

Summary: The Beautiful TD-80s
Review: I've been in love with the Koss TD-80s since the early to mid nineties as an adolescent entering the likes of Nirvana and Bush. At that time, I only had enough money to purchase the TD60s, which were a fine introduction to the Koss line that I grew to love. Today, sadly, I can't commend Koss for their product changes--the introduction of the UR series, which I ridicule, "U-R stupid for buying them", and their incessant failure at making good earbuds beyond the delicate "Plug"... However, I still hold true to their classic products, and this model is one of them. During those adolescent years, my only ability to listen to these headphones were by way of visiting downtown music stores whom displayed their latest releases at listening stations complemented by the Koss TD-80s. If there was something to be heard, the Koss TD-80s gave it. Whenever I wanted to buy a CD, if it were not on the TD-80s, I would think before buying it in fear of poor production, for if it were poor production, the '80s would let you know... I recommend these headphones as a household reference for anyone moderately serious about their music. Yes, Sennheiser may be for the purist, and Sony may be for the everyday-er whom works out and advances in their professions or schoolings, but the classic Koss is simply for anyone who wants to hear and feel their music. In addition, given the age of this model, the bargains of today on this headphone is ridiculous and should make anyone in the market for closed headphones consider them. Gen

Summary: at a loss with koss
Review: just got these and am mildly disappointed. the fit is way too tight and the ear cups are too small making for a painful experience if worn for more than an hour. the individual volume controls have a limited range making them almost useless. the response is OK, pretty much what you could expect for a product in this price range. basically, this product is an inexpensive replication of phones usually found in a professional studio.

Summary: Unless you've got money to burn don't bother
Review: Pros:
-Good sound quality. Good clear treble and good bass for headphones
-Coiled cord which can stretch a good distance when needed
-Volume control
-Sturdy construction Cons:
-Uncomfortable on ears after 15-20 mins
-Seperate knobs for volume make it hard to keep the volumes equal in the two channels
-Earphones have very limited range of motion
-Sound bleeds out when earphones are covered
-Sound bleeds through when volume knobs are turned completely off Bottom Line:
I really don't think they're worth the $$$. Comfort is a high priority of mine and these rank pretty low. My old Aiwa headphones were way better.

Summary: Great Sound... At a Price
Review: The Koss TD/80 headphones reproduce wonderful sounds, and even at high volumes cannot be heard by other people in the same room when they're snug on your head. The cord is sufficiently long, and they adjust well to the size of your head. The only problem with them is that they fit so snug on your head that until you're used to them, they will make your ears quite sore. And even then you'll find yourself experimenting with different ways to wear them so as to reduce the tightness against your ears. All in all, a good product, but be prepared for a bit of a headache for starters.

Summary: There must be better.
Review: The radio station provides these, but I'm willing to invest in my own pair if there's something better. No beefs about the audio quality. The problems with these: 1. Tight, fairly heavy, uncomfortable. Can't stay with them for more than 5 minutes; 2. The separate volume controls on the phones are just a nuisance--they're always turned down, and it's very tricky to turn them up, especially without taking the headphones off; 3. They don't seem especially sensitive or efficient--I'm turning the control board monitor switch to almost full gain (in addition to the volume controls on the phones themselves) just to be able to hear myself; 4. The closed ear design is a drag--why would you want to be completely sealed off from your immediate environment? That doesn't even replicate the experience of hearing live music. I'm hoping that Sony, Panasonic, or Sennheiser has something better in this price range.

Summary: Definitely a good buy!
Review: These are a decent pair of headphones for the money. I like the bulky padding. I think they help you enjoy a richer sound than you would get from the earpiece type. So what if they make you look like Princes Leah on a leash? To enjoy music at home, it should be about comfort and sound, not looks.
