Koss R-80 Over-EarHeadphones

 

I kid you not, the cushions just gave out - 16 year later. The vinylette tore and disintegrated almost overnight. They still sound great, and now my kids use them. The replacement pads are $5, plus shipping.

Clear, but uneven sound

 

I bought these online, and tried them as a result of opinions on epinions.com. At first the headphones were uncomfortable, but started to fit right after a few hours. The construction on these headphones seem good, but the coiled cord is a bit annoying...

Clear sound, loud, good highs, comfortable

Uneven bass & treble, volume balance
