• Reviews around mic (3.29 of 5)

    Koss SB-45 Communication Stereophones

    • Good mic/audio-in and sound quality; very comfortable over the ears
    • I liked this mic very much and broke it in the carrier when I was lugging my laptop back and forth during a trip.
    • The mic is excellent, even detachable.
    • From chatting with people (their opinion), the mic is clearer on the SB45 however the cyber acoustics mic was not bad, it was a little more muddy and softer in volume however
    • I do recommend these for anyone needing a decent headphone and mic at a great price.
    • The mic is a little suspect though
    • Solid headset with a good mic, the mic doesn't need to be right on your mouth, I actually had to turn down the mic sensitivity because it would pick up everything else in the room such as the TV.The one downside for me was that it isn't USB, and my headphone jack on my system is dead
    • The mic is fair, definitely not great.
    • And the mic is super clear
    • The sound quality was excellent for the price, and the mic was good if I angled it down so as not to pick up my breathing
    • Some marketing jerk probably said: "We gotta account for those poor sobs too!"If I can't figure out a hack for the boom mic issue, I doubt I will ever use them.
    • I had the cheaper Logitech headphones which had a pretty spotty mic that I always had to crank the volume up on and the sound was ok, but now that I got these, I realize what I was missing.
    • Excellent sound and good mic.
    • The mic is nice, but your voice may be distorted a tiny bit, like having a electronic tinge(not static) to it if you know what i mean
    • Pros:-Good mic quality while it worksCons:-Uncomfortable, especially if wearing glasses-Headphone sound quality is terrible for the price-Mic jiggles with the slightest movement of your head creating a loud noise in any voice recording or skype call-Terrible customer service-Expect to pay about $20 in shipping and handling to get your lifetime warranty fulfilledThe story:
    • The mic is great too and sounds really clean and natural.
    • With my new set, I'm going to leave the mic down and hang the set up when not in use, avoiding use of the swivel feature.
    • Sound is great and the mic is very clear and I have had those that I'm talking to on Skype with this headset say how clear it is
    • The mic on my unit broke after 2-3 months of use.
    • GREAT AUDO MIC AND HEAD SET
    • I have several large screens, and I look around a lot, and the mic is right in my field of vision, it is unbelievably irritating.
    • Mic is difficult to adjust freely, the mic extension is a flexible rubber however if you apply enough force, it'll start to stay, suggesting there is some kind of metal underneath the rubber
    • Fit is too snug, mic pics up background noises easily
    • However, I don't like the mic, especially for its poor connection
    • these things squeeze your head like you are in a vise its painful on your ears and head and the microphone isn't adjustable, it just falls down, loud degree of echoing on the microphoneall in all its not a good buy i could have just got a cheap $10 desktop mic and $5
    • The result is fabulous, now I can hear every nuance of the call thanks to the sound-isolating over-the ear cups, and my own voice is clearly transmitted with the noise-canceling mic.
    • great earphones and mic except for one thing - they are somewhat tight and ears can hurt when you play for 2-3 hours
    • It was so convenient to be able to make Skype-type calls to family and friends, and have them hear me (good mic), and me hear them (nice speakers in the headset) even in noisy environments.
    • Very good sound quality, and the mic works well enough for Rosetta
    • They are comfortable to wear and an affordable solution for a boom mic/headset.
    • The mic on my headset died at the beginning of December after owning it for only 3 months
    • I figured it would break within a year when I got it (it was a gift), and sure enough, 8 months later, the mic broke
    • The REAL reason I returned it was because of the abominable mic
    • The mic is nice, but your voice may be distorted a tiny bit, like having a electronic tinge(not static) to it if you know what i mean
    • tell me the mic is very clear.
    • They provide great sound quality, and the mic is phenomenal.
    • The mic is good but will leave more feed back in future if their are any problems with mic & pick up of pronunciation
    • The mic is fair, definitely not great.
    • From chatting with people (their opinion), the mic is clearer on the SB45 however the cyber acoustics mic was not bad, it was a little more muddy and softer in volume however
    • I liked this mic very much and broke it in the carrier when I was lugging my laptop back and forth during a trip.
    • You have to adjust your mic volume on you computer, but this mic is great....
    • The sound quality is better than I hoped for, the mic doesn't pick up too much background or fuzzy noise, and for what we use them for, these phones work perfectly at a decent prize.

    • Fit comfortably, sound is good, mic is good.
    • , the sound is good, comfort is great for long sessions (surrounds my ears and doesnt press on them), and the mic is good

    • The Mic is clear and loud and doesn't feel cheap.
    • The Koss SB-45 Headphones are a fine product - great sound quality in the headphones, great mic sound

    • After one more month, the mic on another one stopped working
    • Cord is nice and long, mic is clear and out of my face
    • The mic is very clear for using in voice chat, and is loud
    • Typically whatever I buy ends up being severely uncomfortable and usually break in under six months, in addition to having poor sound or mic quality
