I purchased for use with computer gaming and they work great. That along with Amazon's excellent service and price are all I could ask for.

I thought I had problems with the sound card since none of my mics worked with it. As it turned out, the sound card just needed a reinstalled driver. Now every mic I have but this one works. Probably just a bad headset.

This thing felt like a clamp on my regular sized head. After a while wearing it my ear ached really bad even after I removed them. I tried bending them really hard but that didn't help and they just snapped right back in position. I wrote to the manufacturer but got no response. They hurt so much I just threw them out. I wouldn't wear this same model again if they paid me. I've never experienced this much discomfort with headphones. This will be my last Koss purchase.

I owned these Koss headphones for over two years. My only gripe was the tightness of the fit. It's something I was never able to get used to. I was happy with the sound quality, both of the earphones (those large cushions really helped block out ambient room noise) and the microphone.Sadly, though they served me well, the plastic hinges of the headphones were not able to stand up to my daily use. It seems there was a trade off made between robustness and the complex folding mechanism of this design. I'm not soured on Koss, but just like everything these days, don't get too attached to them. Plastic breaks.

This headphone is of excellent quality and very beautiful. I need a headphone with microphone for online chatting, and also be of good sound quality for listening to music. I searched a lot, and finally decided to buy this one, and I am very satisfied. It is also very interesting that this headphone can be folded to take smaller space, which was a big surprise when I got this product.

First of all I'd like to note that most users will probably not experience the problems that I had. Personally since I have a pretty big head and wear glasses I've found Koss SB49 quite uncomfortable. The headphones are very tight around your head and I had to try and stretch the headband part to make it more loose. They really press on your ears, and that with the added effect of my glasses made wearing these headphones for long periods of time painful.The size of the "cans" is quite enough height- and width-wise, but there could be more padding since the headphones aren't very "deep" and if you have big ears that might be a problem as well (luckily they fit me OK in this regard).I had been using Philips SHP805 headphones for the last 4 years and I must say those were much more comfortable than my new Koss SB49. There was more padding and it was softer, the headband was much bigger and it didn't "squeeze" my head like Koss SB49 does. My ears didn't get hot while using them either.As for the sound quality, I have zero complaints here. It sounds cleaner and clearer than my old headphones I just mentioned. The closed can design blocks outside sounds pretty well which is great for gaming. I was also able to use the mic without any problems and everyone told me the sound was very clear (unlike the desktop microphone I had been using before).

I am about to test the Koss Lifetime Warranty on this product.Bought in December 2009, the microphone went out within 3 months (but I rarely used it anyway), last month the left hinge snapped off and it limped along until it finally broke today.This pair of headphones have been OK. I do not believe I would purchase another pair.I do wish it were a USB connection.UPDATE:Sent them back with the $6 check for S & H, new set sent back within 5 working days. Awesome service from Koss.

The audio quality is alright, may not be the best with this price range but it's alright. Weak bass, lack of clarity but it's good enough for chatting. Not so good for music.The headset is rather tight. Not painful but not comfortable for long wearing.The coverings went off quite fast with white peal offs noted after 6 months.Despite the build looks sturdy, it broke after 6 month of use. Be careful of the plastic piece connecting the ear cuff with the body. It can be bent, weakened and break later, that's my case. Repair requires 6USD + the shipping cost to the repair center.The wire protection is a bit thin inside. A few of my previous headsets broke because of that. This one does not seems better or worse.Not recommended for frequent users.

I bought one pair of these about a year ago for use with my amateur radio transceiver. I liked it so much, I started using it with my iPhone and for Skype calls on my computer. Recently, I purchased a second one so that I don't have to keep switching it around between devices.The sound quality for voice is excellent. It compares well to $100+ communications headsets I have owned.

I have been through several headsets for use with computer and phone, so decided to go with something that should cover both. I can listen with comfort to computer or use to talk on phone with Headset Buddy Adapter: PC Headset to Phone Adapter PC35-PH25 - Use Computer Headset with Home/Cell Phones - Convert Dual 3.5mm to 2.5mm and works great.I do wish had a microphone volume adjustment with certain calls it would be helpful to add additional volume.UPDATE 10/25/2011 BROKE JULY 2011After repeated use, knowing the microphone boom construction was plastic, I always treated with care. In the end, not with enough care, it broke at the base connection to earphone. Another annoyance to note after some use, when trying to adjust placement of microphone it never stayed in place, the flexible rubbery/plastic boom would not stay in one spot.Recently purchased another brand name that cost a little more than these, after a month of use with those I will go out on a limb and say will last considerably longer (see more recent review of headphones).previous rating for this product was a 4 now down to a 2 for overall construction (microphone boom overall).

I'm a gamer and I'm really hard on headsets. I go through a LOT due to durability issues. I've tried headsets that are billed as "gaming" headsets, but I've found it doesn't really seem to make a difference where durability is concerned. I chose to try this one out because it looked like it might be comfortable and it has an in-line volume control. While I really loved the sound quality and comfort of this headset, it didn't stand up to being put on and removed a lot. After using it a short while, the flexible arm on the right ear piece snapped with no way to repair it as I was removing the unit from my head. I find it really irritating when movable parts are made out of cheap plastic. I can see it on stationary pieces, but not where there is a lot of movement and friction.One thing I really liked about this item was that it was very good at deadening noise outside the headphones. For the price, it was a very nice item. I liked it so much that I even considered buying another just like it... the only thing that stops me is the fear that again it will break on me and I will have wasted my money once more.

Durability: Great, flexible. The mic can rotate up parallel to the headset for ease of travel.Mic Quality: Amazing. Had a Logitech mic and the mic on this headset is much better quaity.Sound: Great. Would've liked them to be more soundproof (which they aren't) but moreso than normal portal heaphones

I've owned many Koss Earphones, both stereo and quad, but over the past 5 years have moved to other "lightweight" mp3 type ear bud and stereo phones, like Sennheiser.Recently I started doing Internet DJ Radio, and needed a headphone with microphone. I looked at the Sennheiser and Logitech headsets, but wanted to give Koss another chance. Being an "audiophile" at heart, always loved the quality and durability of Koss earphones. After doing some research on all headsets, the Koss stereo phones had the best quality of sound, both for listening as well as having the microphone quality, and still being lightweight.After getting these stereo phones, was pleased with not only the comfort, but how light they are. The quality of sound is excellent (as you would expect from a professional earphone, and from Koss), and the microphone is very sensitive (though Koss is not know in the audiophile world for recording, these earphones are an excellent introduction of a company not known for their microphones).I will be enjoying using these earphones for many years, and considering that I still have audio earphones, from Koss, that I purchased almost 15 to 20 years ago, working, this is by no means, a small statement.These stereophones "feel" robust, as you would expect from a Professional Earphone. The microphone boom allows you to move it up out of the way when not needed, and the swivel mount for the boom is even on a form of shock absorber, which you wouldn't expect, but makes these communication stereophones in a much higher quality bracket than you would think for the price. The closed ear cup gives excellent isolation for the microphone (which I might add, when I took off the earphones, the microphone actually caused feedback).Final Word: If you need a pair of earphones with microphone, you can't beat this price, quality, and companies reputation. Even if you only need a professional pair of headphones, these can't be beat either.

These head phones are pretty comfortable and have very good sound quality. Good bass as well as treble. The microphone is very sensitive and picks up sound well. I just bought it recently, so I cannot comment on the durability. Overall these head phones from Koss offer good quality for the price.

I find the bass not quite as good as I expected, I also find that it depends on how they are connected to the computer, I also have the Koss USBDongle Adapter so I can plug into work or home.The usb adapter seems to give it better bass at work.The Mic is kind of flimsy, and it is hard to keep it as close as I'd like.

I have been using these daily in my office since Dec/2008. They are extremely durable and are still working just fine. I use them to listen to songs on you-tube/pandora while coding, and sometimes to talk on skype. The sound quality is fair, and is not comparable to the super-expensive headphones. I like them, and would recommend them to anyone.UPDATE OCTOBER/2011 : still working fine.

I was a little worried at first when reading some of the reviews, it doesn't matter if theres 50 good ones, that one bad review really stands out. i ordered the product anyways and to my delight it was everything i was looking for. the comfort is amazing (i like my whole ear to fit in the headset) they work great, they sound even better! If your looking for a sturdy headset for gaming, music or whatever the reason this is what your looking for! for the price the product is outstanding.They cancel out the background noise better then i'd hoped, and the bass is strong, but not overpowering. The one and only downside to this headset is there's no in-line volume control, but don't be lazy just adjust it manually :)

I am a student and this is my third headphone this year, I have to talk to my parents on skype frequently, and i have been looking for a headphone which suits my need. I found this headphone the best for me. Plus, it cancels the noise. Its sound quality is also awesome. Worth the money!

Haven't had them for too long so I can't say much about durability. Pretty comfortable headset, squeezes my head a little tight but I have been able to wear them for hours at a time without discomfort. Great sound isolation, blocks out all of the noise in my room well. Sound is good and I haven't had a complaint about the voice quality from any of my friends

I used brand names bose, sony and sennheiser headphones before and this one is equally good. Only cons I can say, if I want to lean on the chair the microphone part kind of comes in between. They could make the microphone part detachable so that I clould take it out while I am travelling. Works great with skype too. I recommend this product.

I'm surprised that nobody has complained about the limited volume available from these headphones. I have used other headphones with this same computer and had volume to spare, but I turned these headphones all the way up, and the volume was still too low for my old ears. I was also dissapointed to learn that there was no mute button. I found the earpieces comfortable and sound quality good, but again, not loud enough. I also thought the cord seemed flimsy compared to the heavier, Logitech cable I was used to. I will be sticking with Logitech from here on in.
