so maybe the heat gets to the cord, but the cord is thin & cheap for sure

Its been sent in twice for the cord pulling out, not manufacturer problem but Koss fixed it anyway.

Cord broke within a month of use

Light weightThe cord is pretty long enough

and that's how twisted the cord gets after a couple of months of use

The cord appears to be made of cheap material; inflexible

I had my first pair for almost 3 years before the cord became tough and it finally shorted out

These sound as good as always, but the cord is cheaper, flimsier and more prone to failure that before

I have never tried the warranty as seems like a hassle and the things never break; the cheap cord starts to harden

His have already broken -- the cord got caught on something and ripped out easily

Only down fall is the cord is a little flimsy, do what the cool kids do and wrap it!!

They have an almost L-shape cable, but are at a slight angle making them easy to jam down and potentially damage the cord, or even the device you're listening from

The sound is still crystal clear and has great range, the cord is sturdy, and the foam pads have yet to show any wear and tear

Not one pair has ever failed on me but the cord will become stiff & hard and difficult to untangle after about 12-18 months

Cons: Cheap (but apparently durable) cord

I lost my left cord to a very feeble tree branch.

it's probably close to double digits by now), and I treat them well - no cord yanking or careless use

Cons: Cheap (but apparently durable) cord

The shorter cord mitigates that global tragedy.--I think they look cool!Con:--Yes, just one con for me so

The sound is great for electronic music as well as R and B/Hip Hop, and the base is impressive for these
