Koss UR20 / UR-20 HEADPHONES

 

The Koss UR-20 are below-average headphones that perform poorly in most of our test categories. They are moderately comfortable but have a weak, unexciting sound and leak quite a bit. People around you will hear your audio at high volumes, and they...

Comfortable. ; Lightweight over-ear design.

Poor noise isolation. ; leaks a lot. ; Below-average audio reproduction. ; No audio controls. ; Bass and treble delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.

Koss UR20 headphones

 

If you've got a few hundred US dollars to spend on a pair of headphones, it's not hard to find a great set

In the cheap and cheerful category, though, the UR20s get a Recommended from me

Ears Sweat a Little. Otherwise Comfy

 

I use these for PC gaming more than music or stereo.

The ear pads are large and soft, sound quality is fine, cord is long and thick, seems to cancel noise better than my other headsets

Ears sweat a little after about 30-60 minutes of use (which is why I removed an egg), you have to re-adjust the size every time you use them since it falls back to it's smallest position quite easily

Good head phones

 

THEY ARE NOT MEANT FOR IPODS OR PHONES.!! if you have a stereo at home with a head phone jack out put you will love theses!!! one more thing ... they are meant to stay home!!

all of my ear fits inside of the headphones. bass is really good with a good EQ tweak, i have read on here before i purchased them that they did not have enough volume, I have had Koss stuff before so i got them any way. they came with and input...

big and bulky, dont wear them on hot days. the material that the ear pads are made out of fill like they will rip so keep away from kids

awesome stereophones

 

Got it for 20 bucks, thinking perhaps they were just some cheap headphones I could use every now and again. I was wrong. They're pretty darned good for the price range I bought em at and I absolutely do not regret getting them.

Great sound quality, as far as I'm concerned ; VERY durable. I must've dropped these headphones hundreds of times by accident now and they still work flawlessly ; Fairly long cable (wouldn't need it to be longer if you were sitting at your desk in...

Volume seems to be somewhat low compared to other headsets and headphones, even when it's cranked up to max

KOSS UR20 headphones

 

Its a great deal if you can catch these head phones on a sale, I got mine for about half price. Full price is another story, they are great head phones but I would be hesitant getting them at full price because that is a popular price range for head...

Built to last, these things are like a tank I contribute this to the lack of moving parts seen in some higher end headphones. My old Sonys were quite pricy and broke due to their moving parts. The only thing you can adjust is the slider to adjust how...

The sound quality was noticeably different from my higher end headphones, I wouldn't say its necessarily bad, I don't mind it at all and as long as you play at appropriate volume levels it sounds pretty good. Taking off 1 egg for sound quality ; Only...

Very Good Price

 

This is my second set of Koss Headphones. I loved the first set but don't remember what happened to them. These are very comfortable to wear. The sound is good. The price was right. I am a small person and these are almost to big. The cons for me is no...
