Koss KTXPro1 Titanium On-Ear Transportable Headphones, Quantity Management, Extremely Lightweigt Design, Silver Black and Blue

Works Great & Thoughtfully Designed
This is a thoughtfully designed product and so far it works great (I’ll post an update if it breaks). I’m very pleased.Sound: the sound is quite good, especially for a small, cheap pair of headphones. I am very pleased with the sound. Both bass and treble sound clear and strong and the sound seems accurate and well-balanced.Fit: I am a small person and this product fits me comfortably but at the smallest setting, with the earpieces perhaps 1/4″ lower than would be ideal but still quite comfortable. I don’t think it would work on a child. There is plenty of room to adjust the headpiece larger by up to 2″ more, so I imagine it will fit much larger heads, too. The blue band at the top of the headpiece is maybe silicon? Something kind of rubbery anyway. It seems to prevent the headphones from slipping because it is sticky (like rubber, not like honey). Very clever! The on-ear earpieces are covered in standard black foam stuff and are comfortable. If I wear the headphones for more than an hour my ears start to feel squished but if I push the headpiece farther back on my head, so the earpieces come just a little forward of my ear (resting a little more on my skull and less on my ear) then it solves that problem.Cord, Connector & Volume Control: The split portion of the cord, coming from the earpieces to the volume control, is 16″ long, so, on me, it hangs just below belly-button level, which seems like a convenient location to have the volume control. After the volume control is another 45″ of cord to a very small-profile straight 3.5mm stereo jack connector. Looks like it would fit most mini-stereo applications even where space is tight. The volume control is medium-sized (about 2cm x 5.5cm) and has only a slider (for volume control – no other control buttons). The slider acts as a mute if you slide it to the far low end of its range. The slider action is smooth and noise-free. It comes with an adapter from 3.5mm stereo to standard 1/4″ stereo jack, which is very thoughtful. Be advised, it comes with the 1/4″ jack “installed” on the end of the connector, so if you don’t need it, it just pulls off, revealing the 3.5mm jack.Packaging: it comes in a cardboard box with a couple small paper inserts: the warranty and a multilingual reminder that it is illegal in the EU to throw out electrical devices in the trash (they must be returned to “public collection points” for recycling). Nice idea EU. We should do that in the US. There are also two molded plastic pieces that hold the headphones, the clear one made of PET (#1 plastic – yeah!) and the opaque one made of polystyrene (#6 plastic – boo!). Finally, there is a surprisingly large piece of plastic just for hanging the package up in a store and it has no recycling symbol on it (boo, hiss). You would think it would be easy for the cardboard box to have a hanger on it instead. So, very nice that most of the packaging is, at least theoretically, recyclable. My only complaints are about the unlabeled plastic and the polystyrene. Many localities do not have recycling options for #6 or for unlabeled plastic, so I would prefer plastic packaging be minimized and that any plastic used could be something more widely recyclable (such as #1). And before you criticize me for being too picky, be forewarned that plastic waste is getting broken into tiny pieces and floating around in the ocean and causing many problems, one of which is that it is ending up in sea salt products (see the Scientific American article, among others), so you might ask yourself if you want to be eating the plastic later (or feeding it to your kids and grandkids) or if you prefer to recycle it properly now. Just saying…Warranty: It comes with a “limited lifetime warranty” which says, in part, that it covers “normal use by the initial user or purchaser” and warrants the product to be “free of any defect in materials”. However, the terms are that you mail it to their factory in Wisconsin with a check for $9.00 and they can, at their option, refund your money or replace the unit, so that doesn’t really sound like a warranty so much as buying a new one from the factory. You can check the details for yourself at http://www.koss.com if you want to know more. Sounds like the kind of warranty designed to encourage you to just buy a new one instead of exercising the warranty.So, besides improvements to packaging recommended above, I have no complaints about the product so far and would recommend it confidently to others.

Decent sound for the price point
This is a reasonably decent sounding pair of low-cost, open-air headphones. For the money, i have no complaints. They are lightweight and comfortable on the head. Good high frequency reproduction. Not overly bassy.Capable of very decent (but not stellar) music reproduction. I bought them primarily for vocal monitoring and audio calling, for which they are excellent. They do outperform similarly priced headphones for music, however, and their 15-25,000 Hz frequency response sounds noticeably clearer, cleaner, and better than three competitors i tried (including Sony); even those with similar spec’s.The volume slider is crude; not capable of fine tune control, but useful nonetheless. A dial control would be better, however.If only headphones at this price-point existed, these would be five star. But higher quality headphones do exist, so can’t in good conscious give these (or any low cost headphones) more than four stars.They fit well. At first i didn’t think so, but realized the fault was mine for not adjusting the height properly. Also, unlike many headphones, it is very noticeable (and awkward/uncomfortable) if you put them on backwards; pay attention to left & right!Open-air headphones have the advantage of being lightweight and more comfortable than over-ear designs, while allowing one to monitor what’s going on around them in their environment. In noisy environments, however, this may be a disadvantage.

Tienen un estilo vintage y suenan muy bien.

they’re actually pretty cute looking and have a powerful sound for that price
