Reviews around buy (5.00 of 5)

  • I bought an expensive pair from Best Buy and had to return them because the ear muffs didn't fit properly over the ears and were uncomfortable.
  • I can still remember the old Radio Shack Koss headphones that sounded amazing...and for $14 these are certainly a good buy for the average user, particularly when compared to much more expensive headphones
  • All in all, for the price, and the quality of the sound (which is very rich and bassy), the Koss UR20's are a best buy from Amazon.
  • Excellent buy for the money but took off 1 star in re: microphone.
  • , I figured I would probably break any headphones within a year so I might as well buy something cheap.

Reviews around deal (4.59 of 5)

  • Really comfortable to wear and a good deal for 15 dollars, but sounds are a bit muffled compaired to my old Creative Fatal1ty headset
  • These headphones are simply the BEST deal you can get for your money.
  • Obviously there are better headphones out there, but for the price and the quality you got a freaking good deal
  • Obviously there are better headphones out there, but for the price and the quality you got a freaking good deal
  • I wish they had used a different material!For the price, they are a good deal, just be aware that these are not a 'forever' purchase.

Reviews around product (4.42 of 5)

  • We received it in 2 days and this product is great and durable.
  • and I'm wondering if they've just reached too low on the price point to make a reliable product.
  • But I cannot recommend this product to anyone because of the faulty construction
  • Nothing but positives to say about these headphones and the price is so low for this great product it is ridiculous.
  • Wonderful product considering the price you pay for it.

Reviews around price (4.31 of 5)

  • Very comfortable, high quality sound at a very good price.
  • But hey Koss has to make up for making such high quality headphones at such a cheap price someway!
  • I really like these headphones, great quality for such good price, got what I paid for and then some!
  • Overall, a solid pair of over-ear headphones for a cheap price.
  • Good sound great price bass treble well balanced and comfortable.

Reviews around cord (4.13 of 5)

  • I hate headphones with the cords permanently attached (pet peeve of mine) but dauym these things have a seriously long cord, which makes up for it being attached
  • I have been buying this exact pair of headphones for many years now, and this is the best yet, because they made the wires much more flexible, and so more easily placed and out of the way than the more inflexible cord of previous models of the same headphone
  • Cord is thick and durable, even after being squashed under my rocker for a night
  • These are a great pair of cheap COMFORTABLE and well designed headphones with a nice long cord
  • The long cord hangs down/around and must be tucked or rolled up some other way.

Reviews around koss (4.06 of 5)

  • Years ago, I had a cheap Koss set (KHP21v) that sounded amazing, but those are no longer being made and they weren't all that comfortable anyway
  • My trusty 6 year old Koss TD-61 headphones finally fell one too many times off my desk and broke.
  • My trusty 6 year old Koss TD-61 headphones finally fell one too many times off my desk and broke.

  • As ear muffs, the Koss UR-20 headphones are very effective

Reviews around fit (3.67 of 5)

  • Great sound and very comfortable fit around the ear and head.
  • sound quality is top a+ nice fit also what more can i say
  • but you do get a great fit and good sound for such a good price.
  • Obviously it won't be great, but after using them twice and handling them with care, the right side of the headphone that adjusts the size somehow broke (I don't really
  • However, it has a loose fit that makes them comfortable for hours of wear, with ear cups bigger than most headphones

Reviews around dollar slap (3.22 of 5)

  • I mean im not going to use them nor would I ever buy more, but a 13 dollar slap in the face is not nearly as bad as a hundred dollar slap in the face
  • While the Freetalk and UR23IK do SOUND pretty good overall, all three of these sets become really unpleasant to use after a while both because of pressure on my ears, as well as from the pressure on the top of my head from the band
  • I love this headphone, o have some hearing loss and this is perfect for hearing the tv and listening to music.
  • I've had these for about a month now and they still look and work exactly as they did when I got them

Reviews around pair (3.18 of 5)

  • I had this same exact pair for over 10 years and they finally just broke
  • What do you expect from such an inexpensive pair of headphones.
  • Wish I would have went ahead and bought a more expensive pair
  • was looking for a cheap pair of over-ear headphones and these seem to be ok so far.
  • If you're looking for a decent, cheap pair of headphones, you'd be insane not to buy these.

  • I love this headphone, o have some hearing loss and this is perfect for hearing the tv and listening to music.
  • I've had these for about a month now and they still look and work exactly as they did when I got them
  • Again, neither of these are terrible complaints for a $15 pair of comfortable over-ears that I wear in a noisy gym to block out (most of) the grunting and bad pop music
  • My only complaint which really is not a complaint is that after three years the ear cushions deteriorate

Reviews around construction (2.33 of 5)

  • Construction that comes with headphones under 20$Bass is overemphasized and boomy, suffocating the mids
  • What you pay for decient sound but broke after a week from weak plastic construction
  • With these Koss phones, that typical situation is reversed: the construction is good, the sound not so much
  • I love this headphone, o have some hearing loss and this is perfect for hearing the tv and listening to music.

  • They cover your whole ear but since they are loose can hear all the background noise so not good for a Dj..
  • You still hear people tall but eliminates a lot of background noise.

Reviews around bite (2.12 of 5)

  • The sound could be a bit louder but the size and density of them makes for some inherent noise cancellation which helps noise levels

  • I was a little upset when listening to Locomotive Breath, a song I first heard like 30 years ago, and I noticed a buzzing sound later in the song, but had to confirm with other
  • I am a bit rough with my headphones so the rarely last three months, these have lasted six months and are showing no signs of breaking

Reviews around ambient noise (2.09 of 5)

  • They fit very nicely over the ears and really do a very good job of blocking out ambient noise

Reviews around point (1.95 of 5)

  • The cord is long and sturdy, and is well attached (often a weak point in lesser-priced headphones.

  • This would have been a 4-4.5 star rating, if not for the cheap connection that reduced it to a useless, but fixable, 2-star product.
  • It is apparent that the internal connections, probably in the form of solder joints within the connector, are weak and failing after three weeks of very light use

Reviews around drop (1.49 of 5)

  • Eventually the problem became bad enough that it resembled intense radio static in the background with parts of the music dropping out constantly

  • They seem to be made to last, and have lasted a few accidental drops on the floor.
  • I love this headphone, o have some hearing loss and this is perfect for hearing the tv and listening to music.
  • My complaints are that the thin velvet sort of covering on the ear pads breaks down after a while and being plastic one accidental drop can break them, specifically the little tab inside that allows for size adjustment
