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.

This is the first headset I've bought in a long time (3-4 years), so I wasn't sure how it would feel after such a hiatus. KOSS's SB49 showed me how much I had missed.Looks/Construction:Very nicely made, plastic shell/headband and volume controls, looks fairly durable...only time will tell. The volume control is very conveniently placed, has good range, and is very useful for on-the-fly adjustments.Comfort/Sound:I used two sources of audio to test Comfort and sound quality: Music and games.MUSIC: One thing I noticed immediately was the strong bass presence. This is an excellent headset for ANY kind of music. I tried it with orchestra, rock, jazz, lounge and dance. Bass is very strong, nice highs+mids, I was able to hear flute and clarinet without having to strain. It's easy to wear these for hours without even noticing you had them on!GAMES: I tried the headset with three games: Red Orchestra, Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2. I was simply blown away at the quality of sound. Especially in Red Orchestra, I was amazed by the clear cracks of gunfire. The positional audio is okay, but there's no real dramatic positional effects. The rumbling of tanks and explosions was made very clear and enjoyable with the strong bass. Voice quality (from both characters and voice chat) is also very excellent.COMFORT: I usually play games for 2+ hours at a time, so wearing 'phones that deliver great sound quality without hurting my ears are a must. This headset does a pretty good job at this. It's a little heavy on the ears, and makes them sweat a LITTLE, and I usually have to take a small break every hour to rub my ears, but it's not bad at all, considering the excellent sound quality. The leather cushions around the ears make it a very satisfactory listening experience, and even have a slight noise-cancelling effect.THE MIC: This isn't something I've used often before, but now I use it all the time in my games! I recorded a few phrases in Audacity to test its quality/volume, and it delivers! Very good quality, no static at all. The ONLY thing I would have liked better is if the wire were more flexible so I could adjust it to my liking. But this is only a minor grievance.In conclusion, this is a great headset for a great price, quality sound+comfort, it will last you quite a while!!

I've owned a few headsets in this price range, so I know they can be fragile.I used the headsets very carefully for that reason, and after only 3 months after the purchase,the headset is already broken. The part that connects the ear part and the body part of the headsetbroke randomly without any pressure. It just broke and popped out (The ear part) while I was still wearing the headset.The sound quality isn't that bad for the price, but your ears get warm after 30 minutesand the headset is just not comfortable.Buy something else. You can get better headsets for $30. The mic quality was pretty bad also.

I've had this headset for about a year now, and it's awesome. I haven't had any issues with it, I use it on a regular basis (probably once a day) and the sound is just beautiful. It blocks out noises that are outside of the headphones...my husband who sits next to me while we game, will talk to me and I can't hear him ---he's about 4 ft away.It's pretty amazing, it puts you right in the middle of the game, I love this headset.The only annoying thing is that the cord is really long and always gets tangled up so this may be a con for some and a pro for others.Also the fitting, is really nice, it's big enough to go around *most* ears.Plus it has a plug for each the headset and mic, just in case you want to use your normal speakers for your sound and keep using your mic.I like this headset a lot... in fact, I just ordered my husband one for xmas 2009!

Lots of reviewers have given their feed back on how well this headset works. And it truly does work very well. The bass is really what sets it aside from other headsets. The comfort level is unsurpassed unless you have a very large head. Their is no pressure on the ears what-so-ever. The only thing is the heat that your body will generate wearing them. Of course you will get a custom to this after a wearing them for a while. But make no mistake your ears well get warm. Extremely well built in my opinion. So you might ask then why 4 stars??? Well the mic is not adjustable at all. The boom swings up completely and thats perfect but not in or out. Now... in its defense the mic performs very well. Crisp and deep sounds are flawless. I will be using them for normal functions on my PC but will also use them for virtual classrooms. There was one reviewer that mentioned not being able to hear your voice when speaking into the mic. Like cupping your hears or having water in them. This can be easily fixed by clicking on the speaker icon in your taskbar and checking the "MIC" box. Voila sound!!! Just like the effect when using a normal home phone. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it to all who want a quality headset.

I work from home and use Skype as my primary phone service. For the most part, these are worth the money. The headband is adjustable and comfortable. The over-ear drivers are well padded and provide a good degree of background noise reduction. The mic seems to pic up your voice well without being right in front of your face which is nice if you would like to take a sip of coffee while on the phone.Overall, they work just fine and if you're in the market you can't beat the price for overall comfort and quality.

I bought this model after seeing all the good reviews. I was a little hesitant because of the old "you get what you pay for" bit, but I'm happy to say after using it for 2 months now, they were right about is being great quality.It is comfortable and thus far I have used it up to a couple hours at a time with no problems. Quality all the way around.The only CON I can come up with is I do wish it had a mute button, but for the price I can willingly get by without it.Thanks and enjoy...

I've spent hours browsing stores and websites looking for a wireless headset like this that did not cost some ridiculous amount of money. After months of searching, and suddenly actually needing such a headset, I ordered this. I've since learned that the microphone jack on the front of my computer is not hooked up, but everything else about these headphones has been great.I use the headset primarily for Ventrillo for an online RPG (not an MMO, though I intend to do that too). The group has had no complaints about how I sound and have had no difficulty hearing anyone else.The microphone is perhaps a bit too sensitive. I have to turn off my desktop speakers when I'm using the headset with the boom lowered or I get massive feedback.The only real complaint I have is that this is a true stereo headset and the mic is mounted on the left earpiece. If I'm playing something where sound direction is important, this causes the cord to cross my body to reach the computer.

Like most headphones, Having them on for awhile in warmer weather makes your ears sweat. Sound quality is great including the mic. The wire is a single side wire and is thin but i hope is strong enough to last awhile. It uses a single slider volume control.
