Koss UR55

 

The Koss UR55 stereo headphones are great to use with portable players. They give you deep, well-defined bass, good instrument separation and very nice clarity in the mid to high frequencies. However, these audio headphones leak sound and do not...

The UR55 headphones are great to use with iPods, smartphones and tablets, and they are backed with the Koss lifetime warranty

The earpads can be uncomfortable for larger ears, and the sound leaks

The Koss UR55 headphones give you great balanced sound, but are less comfortable for people with above average ear size.

Great Value

 

Great sound, smooth bass and not for big heads. I like to use it to listen to heavy metal with great bass (iron maiden and rush) and jazz (Pastorius) and it is incredible since it is very smooth but deep bass that I am listening now. Great value! If...

Short cord, good sound

 

I'm no audiophile but to me it sounds good and the cord is the perfect length for a front panel headphone port. I don't think it would work on a rear-panel just because the cord is pretty short.

Just fine for the price

 

I use these with my laptop for watching videos or listening to music and they work just fine. Not the most comfortable I have ever worn, but they will do.

Great for the Price

 

I've had these headphones for a few years now, and they still work. I bought them at a Walmart, though. For the price listed on here the sound quality is good. The frame is a little flimsy and pinches your hair when you adjust it, but that's normal for...

KOSS IS KING!

 

Have used UR55's for music listening for years now and am very happy. I would recommend this set be paired with a high powered, stationary device, such as a computer or amplifier, to have them sound their best. Nothing better for the money. I have a...
