Headphones reviews

I am not very impressed with the Koss KTX Pro-1. Compared to its 60-ohm siblings (KSC75, UR40, Optimus Pro35A) the KTX Pro-1 is very congested and bass-bloated. Midrange has a cluttered thickness that really lacks clarity. Treble is just as congested, and to a certain degree lacks extension.

Yes it uses the STELLAR Koss titanium diaphragm driver, but for some crazy reason… they chose to use a different density earpad foam than its 60 ohm counterparts. I personally own all the headphones I have mentioned thus far, and I dont consider the difference to be minor or insignificant.

In my opinion, the radio shack optimus Pro35A and KSC75 earclip offer better sound reproduction for the $$$. Both offer a sense of clarity, resolution and treble extension that the KTX Pro-1 lacks.

Just for the heck of it… I swapped earpad foams with my optimus Peo35A and VOILA!! the KTX Pro-1 was transformed into a GREAT sounding headphone… just like the KSC75.

I had an old black pair of KOSS headphones that I loved. The sound was clear, distinct, and true to the recording. And they weren't some ultra-fancy expensive pro set, just something you'd find at Wal-Mart, etc. I prolonged that set's life for as long as I could, but eventually they fell apart beyond repair.

Upon seeking out a proper replacement, I thought why not go with the same brand? Whatever equivalent product they have out now could only have improved over the years, right? But no, I guess it's true what they say, "they don't make 'em like they used to."

I got this pair in January '07. I'm still using them reluctantly today. I guess I can't say they're terrible, but what a drop in quality. My old KOSS were extremely light and comfortable and fit well. This new set really starts to hurt my earlobes after 20 minutes or so. The sound is pretty muddy; especially the bass which is needlessly overdriven, making most songs just sound unbalanced. They just feel cheap on the whole.

Nice sounding phones for the money. Well made and very light. Purchased for my wife's Sandisk Clip. She likes these phones. They fit snugly but are comfortable. Sound quality seems mellow and warm with very good bass. With the bundled earbuds being a 5 and my Grado S60 being a 10 and Koss Portapro being a 9, I'd rank KTXPRO1 about a 7-8.

What can I say about these headphones that will make you purchsae them!!!! I have used this product for about over six years now and let me tell you just for the price here on Amazon you should not pass these up!!! You can purchase them at Radioshack but look for the half price sale,otherwise you end up paying [...] bucks for them. For $[...] you get a quality pair of headphones that put out a great sound and are very comfortable. I totally recommend them to everyone!!!!!!!!

So far so good with these phones. They sound good with my mp3 players and computer. The volume control is great for drowning out unwanted outside noise. I initially thought the cable wouldn't last too long but it's good also.

I purchased the headphones after reading other reviews. I love the sound and the phones are lightweight. I think they would be an excellent choice to use with an ipod. I tried the ear plugs but they fall out to easily
