5 out of 5 eggs100 ohm

Pros: Awesome for the price.

Cons: Mic is average at best.

Other Thoughts: This is a 100 ohm headset. You need more than onboard motherboard sound to push these headphones. If you don't have a dedicated soundcard with a headphone amp, they'll sound thin and weak. Although, if you've got the power to push them, they sound awsome for the money.

4 out of 5 eggsDoes the job

Pros: Worked right on plug-in. Sound is about what I expected for the price. Not the best headset I have owned but it will do the job. 8' cord is great.

Cons: Does not sync to aftermarket Dolby Digital USB.

2 out of 5 eggsWorst headset for gaming out there

Pros: Low price, lightweight so it's easy to throw into the trash

Cons: These SUCK. They are listed as Circumaural -- LIE. They do NOT have some necessary gaming features -- no clip to attach to shirt, no mute, no volume control on cable (or on individual ears for that matter), their upper range is VERY low volume and the bass resolution is sorely lacking. Finally, when, after owning them for LESS than a month, and the jack started stripping, I was told, TOO BAD. NEVER buying Koss again.

1 out of 5 eggsGood, but broke quickly

Pros: Good sound and mic quality

Cons: After 4 months of ownership, the mic stopped working. I heard Koss products were of good quality, and this is a terrible dissapointment.

3 out of 5 eggs

Pros: works great.
cheap.
feels good.

Cons: when trying to put them on my head the socket that holds the earphone to the headband broke and the other side went only a week after. I had it for a couple months before this happened.

1 out of 5 eggsGarbage

Pros: I purchases these back in July. I literally plugged them in and listened to some music to make sure they work, but I didn't get a chance to try the Mic. After moving I pulled these out to use the Mic on steam. The mic is shorted out with loud popping every time you move your head. Outside newegg return, and Koss wants me to pay the shipping both ways.... Last Koss I ever buy, not even worth the shipping ($9 each way).

Cons: Doa Mic.

Other Thoughts: Don't go cheap like I did. Get some real headphones + mic.

3 out of 5 eggsBroken

Pros: Very good sound quality, not the the worst headphones I've ever owned, Nice long cord, Comfortable

Cons: The mic doesn't work.

Other Thoughts: The only reason that I haven't given this product 5 Eggs is because the microphone doesn't work right out of the package. I'm disappointed with the fact that I open the package and the microphone doesn't work, or works minimally. I've done some research and I can't seem to find a valid reason, aside from the mic being DOA.

5 out of 5 eggsBest Headset I've had so far

Pros: When I first bought this, I was just looking for an affordable replacement. I have had a history of accidentally breaking headsets, I didn't think this one would last long, but its still holding up well.
I am not an audiophile, but the sound seems great to me.
The mic is flexible, so not likely to break, like past ones I've owned. And it folds together, making it easier to pack in a bag with my laptop.

Cons: I don't think its uncomfortable, but I have had more comfortable headsets. It is easily adjustable, so find the right fit before you wear it for a long period.

Other Thoughts: If you are seeking a very high quality headset, you gotta spend more $. But I think this is great for the cost.
