An excellent value in affordable full size headphones
|
I was in a jam... I could not locate my age-old Koss headphones from back when Koss was a higher-end brand than they are today - and I needed a pair of something that wasn't junk. I also wanted something that was...
1) Closed back
2) Fit around the ear
3) Cheap
I stumbled upon these locally, and paid more than the Amazon price - the down side of needing something NOW. I ended up with these headphones, and I must say I did not go wrong.
The overall sound quality is quite good. Midrange detail leans toward being pleasingly laid back yet nicely detailed. Treble is good overall, much better than expected. Midrange and treble detail is good enough to reveal shortcomings in MP3 vs. AAC vs. WMA vs. lossless.
But what was really the most unexpected surprise is the bass. Not only do these have a surprisingly good bass extension, they can handle respectable power. Chances are your MP3 player or computer sound card will run out of power before these run out of bass handling capability. These are, afterall, really a home headphone.
Sure, they are cheaply made. Yes the bass control feature is a silly frill that is nearly useless. They work, but whoooppeeee - they just allow more mid-bass to pass through to the listener (extended vs. full bass). But then again, look at the price. I can forgive their cheap build and sales gimmick.
What shines with these is how good they sound overall for the money. They are not $100 and up audiophile or true studio headphones, yet they give the average user a real taste of what high-end is all about. If you are looking for a cheap pair of home use headphones, I recommend seriously considering these. I give these 5 stars for the price point. If these were $50 street, I'd be more critical - if they were $100 street, I'd say keep walking. Actually I'd say spend the $25 and invest the balance in something else you can enjoy! |
