    • Slight leak when volume is turned all the way down, but well worth the money.
    • Works great controlling volume.
    • After three yearsand a couple of wicked falls, this is by far the best volume control on the market, especially for winter jacket pocket placement

    • For that, even the lowest volume setting on my phone is just too loud

    • The only thing it's missing is a great volume control
    • Always hated to adjust volume by my receiver this does the trick...
    • Highly recommend this Koss unit to anyone who has noticed the modest volume output for the Kindle Fire

    • I bought this to amplify the sound when I use ear buds because my laptop does not produce enough sound volume
    • Headphones plug into volume control and just like that, can adjust the volume
    • I believe the claims on the box to "boost the volume" of your personal device may be less than accurate, at least in my case, but it certainly works well enough for the obvious purpose.
    • It has a wide range of control that makes it easy to set the headphones to the perfect volume
    • Simple tool for controlling the volume works very well and adds length to your headset cord
    • (most cheap volume controls (potentiometers), start making noise after a short while).

    • The wheel is recessed below the side surface of the body to avoid accidentally adjusting the volume and protect the wheel from damage.

    • While the volume control worked fine, the clip is very weak and doesn't hold well.
    • It isn't staticky, but its lowest volume is just too loud; our Roku does not have its own independent volume control, so the only way to lower the sound is through this unit, and the only way to get it below a certain really-kinda-too-loud level is to physically disconnect it
    • but the TV volume control is inactivated while the box is plugged in and the volume was LOUD with no way to control it.
    • This volume control does not increase volume significantly, it only lowers volume well on my equipment
    • The Koss lets me reduce the volume and works well.
    • Some light jazz, trance, or classical music from Pandora or my external hard drive helps, but having the volume up too high is more distracting than not using the head phones at all.

    • The Koss VC20 allows easy and convenient volume control and -- to my surprise -- also considerably boosts the available volume of the headphones.
    • Seems to lose some volume to one side of the headphone if I adjust too low.
    • The maximum volume isn't loud enough, it's more like medium volume on other controllers
    • Turn the volume all the way up, slightly louder than normal listening, then use it to turn down the volume a bit from there, depending on the song
    • Koss should just put a clip on a volume control like the one on the KSC-75s,it's a bit smaller & lighter

    • Volume is not smooth from low to high
    • I connected my headphones to my 32 inch HDTV while playing my 360 and the volume was too loud.
    • It works, but the wheel barely protrudes from the box, making volume change harder than it should be
    • Perfect when controlling volume off my tv
    • I use this to attenuate way-too-loud signals for my in-ear headphones, and an accidental volume increase can be very unpleasant!
    • This device was less than a 3rd of what I wasted for the $30.00 Boise's 'QC15 CABLE MIC ACC BLK WW' that was suppose to to be both a mic and inline volume control - compatible with Smart Phones, most iPods, & iPad 3rd Gen - it was not - just a waste
    • Easy to use, volume very clear with no hissing.
    • I had gotten the [apparently mistaken] impression that it would boost the volume for headphones which had low volume for some sources (like Zune, IPod), but that does not appear to be the case.
    • This volume control worked better than I expected
    • It's nice to raise and lower the volume for the in-flight entertainment system, which, if you travel a lot, you know that can be somewhat temperamental at best.
    • This is a good volume dial and nothing more.
    • Good volume range easy to set to right level
    • made.the volume is easy to
    • The Koss does control the volume real well but be forewarned.
    • Also, it seemed to have trouble controlling the volume as 2/3rds of the dial did nothing and all the volume control was in the last 1/3rd.
    • I wanted a way to control the volume while working out without having to try and use the touchscreen and also have a way to keep the audio jack always inserted in to the tablet (because every time you pull out your headphone windows tells you
    • Well-made product, and the wheel has a long travel, meaning it's easy to tune to the perfect volume.
    • A lot of things are too loud for my IEMs, so this is perfect for attaining fine volume adjustment
    • the koss vc 20 volume control works well
    • Very granular, smooth volume control.
    • To handle this need I purchased the Loss VC20 Volume Control.
    • I don't know what the circuitry is in on the inside, but for my speakers, I have to have the knob at a very low setting, otherwise the sound volume gets outrageously loud.
    • I have a Koss Headphone but leaning back in my chair was not quite long enough plus the volume control is very handy to make a quick volume control when needing to make quick volume controls as well as getting some more space.
    • Works fine for now, Iĺl tell you later how much it lasts
