    Koss UR40 Collapsible Over-Ear Headphones

    • They do have great stereo imaging and bring out certain details that most cans would miss, but I prefer a fat bass and less trebles
    • They are very comfortable, and very nice to look at, and have more than enough bass
    • Nice Clear sound and very comfortable. got a nice punchy bass and clear mids
    • They were convincingly dark in sound signature, and while the bass was powerful for the price, it was bordering on unpleasant
    • While I was quite pleased with the sound quality of the UR55s, I felt the bass in those cans was lacking
    • Good bass, crisp
    • I still like the sound, despite that, and it does have exceptional bass response
    • The bass is OUTSTANDING for the price paid
    • the bass mixes well with the highs and kicks>a lot of
    • They don't have the most amazing bass in the world, but they hold up an immense amount of time
    • The Koss have a nice, very detailed high end and strong, tight bass that won't make your ears hurt
    • The treble is not harsh, the mids seem very balanced, and bass is "good enough"
    • Good bass, good midrange and good treble
    • The bass is great
    • They have pretty good bass for the price, they of course don't compare to $100+
    • I rather think the lower register, down to around 60hz, is the best thing about them, as all these headphones appear to be good for is listening at lower volume levels, but still getting good bass
    • Pros: light, inexpensive, lifetime warranty, good mids and highs, comfortable for over an hour, open air design allows you to hear sounds in your immediate surroundings, bass is probably good for classical or any natural acoustic musicCons: dual entry cord, bass is not emphasized and therefore sounds weak on modern electronic music, open air design allows you to hear sounds in your immediate surroundings, not comfortable for more than 1 1/2 hours of usecomfort - 8price - 9mid and high sound - 8bass volume - 4ease of putting on and taking off - 9UPDATE: After using these for a few months, everything I wrote before still stands
    • They do have great stereo imaging and bring out certain details that most cans would miss, but I prefer a fat bass and less trebles
    • IN SHORTPROS: Nice sound quality for the price, good bass and useful lightweight/collapsible design
    • The speakers deliver respectable basses while giving a nice and crisp deliverance of the trebles
    • The bass is clean without being hyped like more modern headphones.
    • I own a pair of Sony XB700s which I admit are a lot more expensive, but the bass is a LOT more powerful and NOT unpleasant
    • I like being able to modify bass and treble at the driver level, as this gives me strong, punchy bass, plus clear highs and mids without needing to rely on a third party equalizer
    • While not as heavy as the UR40, the bass is plentiful and compliments the overall sound very well
    • These do have adequate bass though -- it's the "full" kind of bass that you'd feel indirectly, as if you were at a band concert or movie theater -- just not the sharp kind of bass that shakes and hammers your head.
    • They do not boom out the bass, and they match the limitations of an iPod, a boombox CD player, or a portable CD Discman-type player well
    • I think that because the drivers are positioned at a small distance from your ears, you can't really "feel" the bass that well, but it's definitely there (unlike the Sennheiser PX100, which has less bass than the UR40, but since it's an on-ear type, you kind of "feel" the bass more with it than with the UR40).
    • The unpleasant bass became slightly more bearable, and the Koss UR40s gave a convicingly good performance when it came to positioning and soundstage
    • , unpleasant bass-shallow cups make the sound that much more unpleasant-Better, cheaper alternatives out there
    • The bass is only marginally better than the KSC35
    • At first I was pleased with the good quality and nice bass
    • The UR40 seems inherently biased toward the low end and gives the most impressive bass without modifications
    • The lightweight and good bass makes these a good pick for computer gaming IMHO; but if you have a noisy machine beware - the open design lets all outside sound through.
    • I had went to his house and tried them, only to hear the same muddy mids and highs, and unpleasant bass
    • maxed out, the G35 has enough bass to satisfy and is tighter sounding than the UR40
    • and they have a nice deep bass.. not to the extent that they feel
    • While not as heavy as the UR40, the bass is plentiful and compliments the overall sound very well
    • Bass is good enough for me, but if all your music is about the bass, maybe a different pair would be better
    • Still going strong and sound as great as ever - somebody said these were as close to perfect as you can get
    • Although if they did that as bad as they made these things they'd get killed
    • These headphones are not bad sounding for the price, but they have one fatal flaw: Anyone sitting in a ten foot radius can hear your music just as well as you can
