Astounding value
These headphones have a rich and warm tonality. Are they the best I've ever heard? No, but they sound as good or better than others I've tried which cost several times as much. I did try swapping out the pads with the Yaxi pads but ultimately decided I prefer the more immediate/tangible sound of the original pads. Highly recommended!

GOOD, not GREAT
Headband is really uncomfortable, its needs a mod to be acceptable IMO.
Sound is great though. Lacks bass and its slightly dark, but over wise an enjoyable listen. Honestly they sound much better than most chi-fi iems in the same price bracket.
Needs better headband and pads to really shine.

Bought for the headband, but they sounds pretty good.
Bought these for the headband as I like the KSC75 more. Listened to it for a while and it's actually pretty good as well. Not as bright/airy as the KSC75 and has more bass. Pleasantly suprised. Headband is great though, much better than the earhooks.

broke with 3 months of use; good riddance
Truly trash tier build. Who is getting paid to write these reviews? the cheap black sliding plastic snapped as i was pulling these over my head. horrible quality plastics. the headphones constantly snapped off their mounts. the pad coloration wore out to a gray-ish color. overall these were a nightmare for the 90 days I got to use them. the sound was meh, they felt cheap, and they looked stupid. don't waste your money.

I think I have 8 pair to give away, these sound great.
I think I have bought 8 pair to give away, these sound great. When you look at them and figure the price, they preform much better than they should. Gods gift to cheap HiFi. Bass has a little kick to it. Koss does beat you up on the price of replacible cord for different jacks, which is a shame. There is a balanced cord made from somebody that is getting reviews, depending on the price I will buy that. Great for walking around. Buying a another four pair today. (I think they changed the drivers but in 1984 I wore these Koss Headphones, I don't remember them sounding as good as the do now.) A must buy for around town use.

Broke these headphones, but loved them enough I need to buy another pair
This has been the unfortunate case with all the Koss headphones I have gotten from Drop. This pair, the KPH30 and the KSC75 have all broken on me. The KSC75's I did buy another pair because I liked them enough, and I need to do that with these headphones too. I love the retro aesthetic, I think the metal headband makes me more confident in the long term build quality (issue with the actual drivers not withstanding), and the sound quality was phenomenal. I am by no means an audiophile, but I think I like investigating audio products more than the average consumer who would just buy a a pair of like, Airpods for example. I like having the open back style and these were great headphones to wear on the train. I really do wish the build quality of the drivers was better. But like I said, I am willing to buy another pair of these because I liked them so much. And the price is hard to beat.

Light and Fun
Had these for over a year now. Fitted an MMCX kit to them and the portability improves a lot. Other than that has stood in at times for my DT990's when I've needed to be more portable. Really clear audio and super comfortable.
