King of Koss
The KPH40X Utility sounds like a cross between the Porta Pros and the KPH30i. It has a more mature tuning and to my ear sounds better. I like the headband but it seems a little brittle but no problems so far. I love Koss headphones.
Man these are FUN. I will say, I have since modded my pair pretty extensively, but only because I love the vibe these have so much. I added detachable MMCX, a headband suspension strap, and lastly pad adapters that allow me to use Grado S Cushions.
Stock, I felt the bass was a bit too boomy for my liking. Using Yaxi pads helped quite a bit here, but I took it a step forward and currently use Grado S Cushions, which tame the bloated bass and add soundstage.
These ARE my travel headphones, and have been currently getting the most use out of every pair I own.

Awesome Casual Headphones
I'm certainly no audiophile but these things sound great and find myself picking them up often when at my desk or on the couch listening to music. Low cost, don't feel to cheap. Feels like a great value. Considering getting pairs for my friends.
I use this for pc gaming and voice calls, works great. I'm not an audiophile or anything, but these have served me well! I'm a big fan of the light, simple build and overall comfort. I can wear these for as long as I need to with no discomfort. And of course, the sound quality punches way above the price point compared to other "gaming" headsets I've used before in the $100 price point.
No issues after a year, I'm sure this can serve you a very long time if you're careful with it! Absolutely recommend.
Out of the box the sound is bloated in the bass region and lack8ng in clarity. However, when paired with $10 grado s cousions from geko they become mutch better. All together the overall build Is much better with a nice lightweight metal band and removable cups. If you want something that works well out of the box get the kph 30. These do with the improved pads, sound better then yhe kph30 just remember to keep that in mind. Also almost forgot here is the amazon link to the pads.

I ordered both the KPH40X and KSC75X. Later I got an email saying the KSC75X was out of stock so I asked to cancel it. Brett R gave me a partial refund of $12.44 instead of $20 without my approval. He refused to provide a full refund and also claimed he couldn’t just leave it on back order. The conversation then ended when he said he was the manager and permanently closed the ticket. Really, all that over $7.56?

Cheap yet impressive headset
I decided to buy this since they were cheap and I had a spare $20 of Drop credit. I received it and tried it with my portable high fidelity music player. Honestly, I am impressed with how this sounds for how cheap it is. I am usually very amazed at the sound quality these little headsets produce from Koss. If you want something cheap with clean sound, this could be your headset. Doesn't break the bank, it's light, it sounds great, and it's retro.
I have the Porta pros and Kph30i and I find these to sound even better than those for some reason. The build quality is minimal and good enough for the price, very lightweight so clearly they knew what people loved about this brand.
Be sure to grab one of these, 100% recommend.
