Koss KPH7 Lightweight Portable Headphone, Black

Best buy I've made in a long time. These headphones are not just cheap, but they work exceedingly well. The sound is great, whether for music or streaming. I'm not an audiophil., I'm retired and wear hearing aids. As such I have a problem wearing the Apple style earbuds and the in-ear type earphones in general just don't work well. I've gotten discouraged with Bluetooth, trying to track down the mysterious extraneous connections that make it impossible to connect with what I want. Just clamp these on your head in literally a second and you get great sound. Just plug it in. No Bluetooth problems. And they weigh a couple ounces and cost less than 10 bucks. A solid winner! As an addendum, some have mentioned that the L & R markings are tiny and hard to find. I solved it easily by just putting a ring of Scotch tape on the right side. There is a slight difference in the two earphones in the angle they sit on your head.

We bought these for a 10 hour flight, so glad we did! The headphones are very comfortable, lightweight and had good sound quality. I watched 3 movies on the flight with these headphones and found them to be much more comfortable than earbuds. The design, cord and quality were excellent and well worth $4.99.

Super glasses friendly, but mine came with one side louder than the other, so durability isn’t a sure thing in terms of the wire. Always something to be wary with cheap wired headphones of course though, and can easily be fixed by tweaking your audio settings. Theres basically no passive noise cancellation, which is great if you wear these outside and want to be aware of your surroundings, not so much if you want quiet. But for my purposes these are fine. The audio is decent for what you pay for, and if you’re not crazy particular you’ll be satisfied with these. These look and feel pretty cheap but I’ve used these for a while now and as long as you’re not manhandling them, they’re not gonna randomly break

Fast delivery. It arrived the day after I ordered it. One day delivery. This headphones are great. The sound quality is great and I can hear the good quality sound out of both sides the way it should be. It's not defective. These headphones are definitely worth buying. I give them a five-star for quality, sound, looks and comfort.

It's an inexpensive headphone set and I use them all the time. I have bought these previously and they work for my budget. The soft foam allows me to still hear ambient noise, which is what I want. The fit is not great for an adult head and seems more appropriate for a child. Sound is good for watching TV or casual music listening. Another company has a comparable unit that allows both earpieces to pivot. It feels much better than these but it is also a weak point that easily breaks. These are okay for casual use and I am hard of hearing and wear hearing aids. These aren't studio quality and certainly not ideal for serious listening but they work for what they are designed to do.

Love these headphones! I bought a vintage Sony Walkman and needed inexpensive wired headphones to use with it, and these were perfect. Only $5?! They're durable, comfortable to wear, they have great sound, and they're adjustable. The cord is a good length, and since the headphones are black they blend in easily/go with everything. If you're too rough with them they might break as they are plastic, but for those who are easy- or gentle-handed, these are a perfect wallet-friendly option!

Our teenage son always seems to somehow 'confiscate' and then proceed to break and/or lose every set of earbud-type earphones in our house, including mine that came with my iPod. So, he has now been relegated to only owning the least expensive kind I can find for him (even if that means pink ones, lol). So, after perusing Amazon, I bought these headphones for him because 1) they were so inexpensive, 2) the reviews were pretty good, and 3) did I mention they were so inexpensive? Well, when they arrived, I opened them up to check them out and make sure they worked and such. I was impressed and I really liked them. But when I gave them to my son, I quickly learned that, according to my son, over-the-head type "headphones" (as opposed to the in-ear or ear bud type) are so "80's" and "uncool looking". Was I angry at him for basically calling me "old and uncool" for liking these headphones? No way!! This was my perfect solution to keep him from "borrowing" and then losing/breaking MY headphones. Besides, I never really liked the ones that go into the ears anyhow. So now these are mine! For what it's worth, I feel neither "old" nor "uncool" while wearing them. I promise!! *They fit great, they are snug but not TOO snug. If I was into jogging and/or some other type of strenuous exercise, I don't think I would have any trouble keeping them in place on my ears/head (I swim for exercise so obviously I can't wear them for that, lol). *The quality of sound is fantastic to me - although I'm not really an "audio snob". *They are extremely adjustable on both sides although I happen to use them on the smallest setting without needing to make them any bigger. *They are lightweight, as stated in the description, but not in a 'flimsy' kind of way. I don't think they are any more or less breakable than any other kind of similar headphones (yes, I did go through many sets of headphones like these during the 1980's). Since I don't expect to be rough with them at all, I am hoping they last me quite awhile. If not, and they do somehow break, at least I wouldn't feel *too* bad only being out a few dollars. I would ABSOLUTELY order these again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for inexpensive, but nice, headphones. They are perfect for this "uncool" mom. :-) ***UPDATE*** June, 2015: Well it's been nearly two years and I've gone through about three pairs of these headphones (and I'm going to order a few more after I write this - now that they have pretty color options). Not one pair has broken yet, they just seem to get lost somehow (in our house, we joke that when things go missing it's because unicorns come and eat them). I'm glad they have color options now and I would still absolutely recommend these inexpensive, and nice, headphones.

Horrible headphones, not worth more around $1.00. Bought 2 sets, 1 for myself and 1 for my wife. Within just an hour or two if my wife using hers one of the earpiece pads just fell off and wasn't able to be reattached, it just split apart, rendering it useless. The audio from them is the worst I've ever heard, as a matter of fact I bought a set that was much nicer and cost less than these at my local Dollar General, and those were even better made and far superior sound quality too. I can't even describe how horrid the sound is on these, but I sure can't see why anyone, especially a school would recommend these for young students, they're not a great quality in build or audio for student use. Absolutely not. I only bought these because my local D.G. Store was closed currently out of stock and no idea when they'll get the ones that lasted me over 7 years for a smaller price, folded up, had noise cancellation, and the ear coverings were like very soft earmuffs covered in plastic, comfortable. These terrible headphones had none of this, but I did expect a better quality audio, but I believe the audio is diminished by using 32-ohm speakers instead of the standard 8-ohm type which gives far superior sound quality(my opinion) but that's also what my Dollar General headphones were rated 8-ohm and until I accidentally sat on them and broke one side off, I'd still be using those. I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE HEADPHONES! LOOK FOR A BETTER QUALITY PAIR. These are junk.

I like these very much. I've seen them for sale for radio use and I wanted a small pair of on-ear headphones for ham radio cw use. They are great, light, decent-sound at the necessary 400 - 800 Hz that most morse code is done at, and robust so they are unlikely to break if chucked into a rucksack for portable operating. And at less than £10 you can't question the value for money. Only down-side is that that you have to drive them quite hard compared to ear-buds and another thing to bear in mind is that they don't isolate much, so you can still hear things going on around you. That's neither positive nor negative, just bear in mind that in loud ambient noise you won't hear the head-phones. Highly recommended for cw.

very poor audio output.

まず、これはhi-fiではない。だがこれはこの製品の欠点ではない。そもそもこの価格帯で原音とか追及する方があり得ない。ではどういう製品かといえばナローレンジで中音域ははっきりしているが、低音はだらだらと下がっている。しかし意外と低いところまで出ている。高音域は伸びない。結果的に昔の少し音の良いラジオみたいなバランスになっている。しかしこれがはまると楽しい。例えば打首獄門同好会とかドラムは引っ込むがギターはくっきりしている。他にも昔のロックとの相性が良い。意外なところでは吹奏楽も合う。中高域に少しピークがあるようでラッパが非常に生々しい。軍歌の雪の進軍をかけてみたところそのことに気づかされ驚いた。 ボーカルは可もなく不可もない。少し眠い感じになるが、耳障りは良い。実は中高域の変なピークを感じるのはボーカルを再生しているときに弦がバックの演奏に入ったときだ。演奏に影のように刺激音がまとわりつく感じがする。しかしトークはメリハリが利いていて口の動きがわかるような感じがする。ともかく、かなり個性的な音作りだが刺激的な部分は巧妙にカバーされているので聞く人を選ばない。 あと、映画は非常に相性が良い。バトルシップを視聴したが、もともと映画館のスピーカーはホーンで構成されていて中音域重視の高能率型だ。その音色に近い。 ただ、ヘッドバンドは東洋人には向いていない。このアールは頭が前後に長い西洋人を念頭に置いた設計だろう。もっとも、別に室内ならきちんとかけなくても両耳さえ押さえていれば良いのだから適当なかけ方をすればよい。 癖があるのは間違いないし高音質でもない。しかし聞いていて音楽や話し声を楽しく聴けるのは長所といえる。

Für den Preis kann man nichts falsch machen

Received item in good condition. This is a basic and lightweight headphone that delivers good acoustic reproduction.
