Summary: Worst Experience
Review: After using it for 15 mins, there was no sound from the left side of the headphones.
Moral of the story: Delicate and unreliable

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Another Waste of Money
Review: Brand new, and the Koss UR-15 headphones were putting crackling static into my left ear when the music was at a moderate volume or higher. I tapped the left side with my finger, and it died! This review is my revenge, and your warning. The earbuds that came with it were just as disappointing. They had no bass sound at all, and sounded tinny. Even the cheapest earbuds sound richer. AVOID KOSS!

Summary: Good if you press'em
Review: I bought these at wallmart.. was trying to find some phones that would sound very good but wouldnt allow other sounds in and would not break after a few months of use .. my fav before these were sony earbuds. they had damn good base and good overall sound but would get the cloth covers dammaged and then got ear wax clogged after a while and the wires would break .. so i got these .. i hated them at first due to the fact that bass sounded like A$$ .. but after pressing them to my ears with my fingers .. WOW they sounded fantastic and could handle some impressive volume .. so i got me some head bands from the doller store to wear over the speaker sections of these to have them held to my ears while listening.. they sound great that way.. they are cheap and sound great once you press em

Cheers

Summary: Good Sound for your buck
Review: I bought these headphones and was pleasantly surprised. They are very comfortable and the sound quality was better than you would think given the price. The cord is a little long for portables, but can easily be tied up. The extra earbuds that come with it, are a nice bonus, but their sound quality pales by comparison.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A decent headset for the non-loud user.
Review: Let me point out one thing before you read my review. When you read a review you have to know what type of person the reviewer is in relation to what type of person you are. Im a gamer, so I need to hear every little detail to know where the enemy is at or what he is doing. I also need a headset that blocks out outside interference so I have 100% concentration on what im doing (and believe me, it really helps your game).

First let me start off by saying that the headband doesnt press up against your ears. This is bad because when its not pressing up against your ears your allowing for more outside interference get into your headsets and into your ears breaking your concentration. When you have less outside interference you find that its easier to concentrate on what your doing. Also the volume level is decreased along with detailed sound. But it is very comfterable to wear, not heavy at all, and the head-size adjusters work awsome.

On this headset you really cant turn the volume up that loud without it distorting (the bass especially distorts badly although the treble rarely distorts if at all). But when you dont turn the volume up that loud it delivers pretty decent sound quality.

The wire is really thin making it easier to break/cut into. Due to the wire being thin, when you fondle/mess with the wire it distorts. Also sometimes when you move your body it distorts.

I had this headset for exactly a month and in about half way through that month my left speaker wasnt as loud as my right. It happened when I was listening to music. So I had to comprimise by using software to re-balance the amount of volume that went into each speaker. When I did this my overall sound wasnt as loud as it was before. That made me pretty mad.

If you really want to get your moneys worth, go buy a 30 dollar pair Koss ur-29. But at amazon you can get them alot cheaper. Read my Other review on that headset on amazon, just type in the search engine "Koss ur-29".

Review: save your bucks from this poor quality product. I bought it @ walmart and one side couldn't work just after one month of use. I would recommend on sony or panasonic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: These have to be some of the best headphones I've ever used. I purchased Ciara's "Goodies" and I have to say, the bass is extreme. Maybe 5x the bass and 3x the treble of other headphones that are similar (like the Sony MDR-V150 or the dissapointing Coby CV models).

Pros:
- Extreme bass.
- Extreme treble.
- Very comfortable.
- Almost no pressure of headphones. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like you're wearing them.
- Long cord, which is great for computers and far away plug-ins.

Cons:
- Hard to tell the difference between left and right of the headphones.
- (not really a con but...) Long cord is sometimes a pain for portable usage, but just don't unwrap the cord much and you're just fine.

Great headphones, and one of the cons isn't even a con at all.

Earbuds (not effective of the 5 stars)

Pros:
- Very portable.

Cons:
- Watered-down sound/Bad Quality.
- Hard to fit in case.
- I can't even use them. You have to shove them all the way in your ear, and I have a cut in my left ear, which means the Koss Earbuds are extremly uncomfortable.
- They don't feel too duarable to me.

Overall: great headphones, bad earbuds
Recommendations: Get these headphones and a CD. Go have fun for once!


Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice headphones
Review: Yeah, I just picked up a pair of these headphones and I must say they are quite good. The bass is very clean unlike most headphones in the same price range. The real sell point for me was the 8' cord. Great for people like me that love to watch movies and play games late at night but don't want to wake up the roomates.
