Koss KPH14K Side Firing Headphone (Black)

I collect old Sony and Aiwa Walkmans and when I go out I like to use Arnold Sony Sports because they're rain proof and keeps the tape safe. These headphones have a better mid and top range than the Sony so are clearer. Bass is controlled bit if you have an audio device with Mega Bass then that will up the bass considerably. Speech is clear and the I think Koss have a winner here. I also have the Porta Pro to listen in comfort so these are outdoors or bath time listening. Price wise I think they are pretty reasonable in comparison to other brands too. I appreciate audio quality and these tick the right boxes. Don't forget all headphones need a run in. Sounds daft but the membranes can be tight at first so Bass again will be tight. After about forty hours they are OK.

These have great sound and have a strong frame (far sturdier than a pair three times the price I bought before them).They're a little bit tight in the ears but loosen over time.

Sony made a pair of these which i think they must of discontinued, they were more expensive than these ,i recommend these both for price and comfort.one can lie abed on ones side without intrusion and whatever sheerness means,

The headphones are lightweight, and are a little tight fitting. The main problem is that the bass reproduction is very poor, there is virtually no bass at all. Disappointing.

Absolutely useless headphones unless you have a particularly small head and enjoy having your ear canal being clamped... read reviews on Amazon.com before buying these and you'll get the idea. Adjustment is so short you have to tilt the headband forwards or backwards giving you a particularly ridiculous look. Made for children you would then think but oh no... because no child would put up with the pressure these put on your ears.The speaker part that goes into ear is also so poorly finished that it scratches skin... I had to sand them down first with fine sandpaper... go to Koss website and you'll see a beaming Mr Koss proud of his products... bet he never tried these on before attaching his name to such a waste of money. Shame as I'd been searching for this style for exercising for a while as can't get on with in ear phones... they keep falling out... this I'm afraid is the other extreme.Going in the bin... giving them to someone else would only insult them and can't be bothered to send them at my cost back to the States. Should have researched these better... buyer beware.

Very light. Comfortable. Can hear traffic as well as the music.

To correct what amounts to a very silly design fault, I used a hacksaw to carefully cut off the top part of each sliding earpiece holder, removing the minimum possible amount of plastic needed to get rid of the closed end stop. The earpieces were then free to slide but still "bit" onto the headband assembly as long as they weren't pulled completely off. I used a small cable tie to clamp the sliding parts together at the desired length.They sound fine for the price and would receive 5 stars from me but for the thoughtless design.

Good headphones with suprisingly clear sound.Only a minor drawback, if sweat goes into your ear can be annoying and you need to remove them.
