Summary: Koss R45 headphones
Review: I don't find these headphones extraordinarily comfortable (the padded headband is great, but my experience is the same as that of the reviewer below--there is pressure on the ears, which makes them warm). The sound is *extremely* good for the price. The treble is good and the bass is quite strong; the midrange is a bit distant, but very natural in tone. I'd be happy to find affordable loudspeakers that sounded this good. The R45s are not efficient, so if you want headphones that blast your eardrums, look elsewhere.

Summary: disappointing for home use
Review: I guess these headphones may be good for portables but I bought them for home (stereo, computer) use and am disappointed.

My main complaints are: (1) the cord is short! It's only about 4 feet, nowhere near 8 feet described here, and (2) they aren't very comfortable so far. Too tight on my big head and it makes my ears warm.

Also not mentioned is the function of the little box inline with the cord. It is a filter to let you play with 3D effects and "move the sound around inside your head". It's an interesting gimmick, but I'd rather have a longer cord.

Summary: OUCH! My achin' ears!
Review: I've had these headphones for 2 years, using them off and on, because apparently the pain they inflict upon my ears is like childbirth in that I keep forgetting how bad it is. I should have trashed them a long time ago, but I'm a tightwad. The sound is satisfactory, but I can only wear them for about an hour before my ears get SUPER sore. Since I work in an open office, I don't really have a choice but to listen to music with headphones, but at some point I just have to stop because it hurts so bad. I was on the site shopping for some new headphones, and thought I'd do (hopefully) some of you a favor by warning you about this. Good luck.

Summary: Good all around headphones
Review: I've had these headphones for over 2 months, including a 2-week road trip to the mid-west. These headphones out performed all others. I literally left the headphones on for hours at a time, and I can personnally guarantee that these are the most comfortable headphones ever.

In addition to the unsurpassed comfort of these headphones, they provide a breath-taking display of both treble and bass. The quality is clear and crisp and doesn't lose quality as volume increases.

The eight foot cord is long enough to maneuver without difficulty, but so long that it gets in the way. The lifetime guarantee on parts of labor demonstrates the pride of Koss and ensures that they will last a long time

These are a great investment, and I strongly reccomend purchasing these quality Koss headphones.

Summary: These are unbeleivably good headphones for the price
Review: These headphones have great sound! They also don't let much backround sound in. I would recomend this for anyone looing for a cheaper but just as good set of headphones!
