I am a professional transcriptionist, and I love these headphones.
I am a professional transcriptionist, and I have been using these Koss headphones for years now. I love the long cord and the ability to adjust the volume on the fly right from the cord. The noise cancellation isn’t as good as some of the pricier headphones out there, but it’s definitely enough to manage difficult audio. I think what I love best is the comfort. I have worn these for upwards of eight hours at a stretch, and they never make my ears ache, something I’ve had trouble with when wearing other headphones. I’ve been transcribing for seven years now, and I’ve only had to buy three of these headphones. When you consider that I’m using them 40 hours a week, that’s incredible use for the money. I also want to shout-out the seller. I ordered these on a Sunday and received them the next day. 10/10 service!

The best wired computer headset, bar none
Iâm very particular about what I want in a wired headset: 1) in-line volume control, 2) comfortable over-ear cups, and 3) NO MICROPHONE. If this lines up with your preferences in design, then this set is the perfect choice because of the addition of unmatched sound quality. The bass range exceeds every headset Iâve set Iâve ever used, and the sound is full and rich at all frequencies. The fact that Iâve bought three of these over the years is what I offer as my testament of how high in regard I hold these.

Not sure what to think just yet…
Got these today, and so far i’m not sure i like them. The sound quality is for the most part alright, but there’s something a little trebley about it, but not too bad, i imagine if i play around with my EQ i can get them to sound a bit better. My main complaint about these so far is just by handling them they almost broke, the plastic piece where you adjust it turned side-ways slightly and almost looked like it was about to pop off or break, i barely even touched it lol, so if you get these, imo do yourself a favor and either return them for something a bit more sturdy/durable, or at the least adjust the headphones where you want them and then put tape tightly around the plastic adjuster (you’ll thank me later). The only other issue i’ve noticed is that the ears don’t clamp as well as i’d like, which means the sound isn’t as full/deep because of sound leakage and it’s not as good at blocking out external sound, the more clamp there is around the ears the more sound isolation and the fuller the sound, but i’m not sure if there’s a way to rig these for tighter clampage.Overall i recommend checking out the Koss UR20’s, they have been my go to headphones for the last few years, and i just left a review on a new pair of those that i got today as well so you may check out my review for that as well but i’ll sum it up here, with the UR20’s, the sound quality is way better imo, but you do need to carefully bend the headband wires a certain way as to give the ear cups more clampage, and at least on my computer i need to adjust my EQ to get the best sound, and just as a precaution, it’s also advised to tape the plastic adjuster piece as well as to avoid them breaking, although they seem sturdier than these UR29’s. But if it came down between the UR29’s and the UR20’s, definitely go for the UR20’s, imo, they seem to last so long as you take care of them, but these UR29’s, like i said, they seem rather fragile and cheap, i haven’t yet decided if i’m going to return the UR29’s yet or not, i may give it a week or two just to form a better opinion and will update my review here should my opinion on anything change, but if i end up keeping the UR29’s i will definitely have to tape up that plastic part because i can already see it easily breaking/coming apart just from slightly handling it like putting it on my head, idk if anyone else has noticed that but my advice, tape the plastic, otherwise might want to return them because i don’t think they’ll last long.

Good Headphones With A Great Price
I have a 9-year old pair of these UR 29 headphones. They still sound fine to me even though the foam over the speakers has mostly worn away while the imitation leather on the ear pads flaked off like black snow years ago. I use them now listening to music or watching a DVD while I ride my bike on rollers in the basement. I bought this new set for listening to my old Philips HI-FI in the living room. Comparing the sound of these to the old set, I could tell no significant difference. Comparing these to the Over Ear Head phones I bought recently, both are good, but I like the sound of this Koss UR 29 model a bit more; the Over Ear phones seem to emphasis the base more than I usually prefer, thus, adjustment is required at the HI-FI unit. Finally, these are comfortable to use and it’s good to have the volume control right at your finger-tips.Addendum: the headphone chord has the consistency of a long, soft spaghetti noodle and doesn’t wind-up easily or neatly when not in use. A minor con, perhaps, but annoying.

Meet our needs
This purchase was a replacement for the same headset, which was bought 3 yrs. ago and used daily for TV watching for a hearing impaired person. This is a corded headset, to which we’ve added an extension to the its roughly 8 ft. cord. The user is pleased with the comfort of the adjustable over the ear pads and padding on the headband. He especially likes the ease of having the volume control feature on the cord. The padding covering on the set did start to peel, but given its age, we still think it a great value.

These headphones are so awesome!! They work incredibly. They can be folded well and made music pretty fun to listen to. Definitely buy these if you want some good headphones for reasonable price.

Ich wollte für meine Midi-HiFi Anlage kostengünstige Kopfhörer haben. Dabei besann ich mich, dass ich in den 80er Jahren Kopfhörer der Fa. Koss hatte, die einen absolut klasse Klang hatten. Also recherchierte ich und fand, dass Koss die ganze Paleette an Kopfhörer abdeckt. Ich entschied mich für den preiswerten UR29. Als ich ihn in Händen hatte und ausprobierte war ich überrascht über die Klangfülle bei diesem Preisniveau. Danach schloss ich ihn an meine High-end Anlage an und musste feststellen, dass der Klang super ist. Ich bin von dem Kopfhörer begeistert!

Très bel équilibre sonore.compte tenu de prix payé -moins de 25,00 â¬, une superbe affaire. Réglage du volume très pratique et solide (pas de craquements après plusieurs mois).Je conseille vivement l’achat de ce casque digne d’un appareil trois ou quatre fois plus cher!

Servicio de Amazón: excelente.CALIDAD Y FUNCIONALIDAD:- A pesar de estar construido con materiales de plástico, presentan un buen acabado. Esteticamente me gustan, aunque eso es algo subjetivo. – Son ligeros y cómodos, aunque después de varias horas de uso puedes acusar algo de cansancio. .Aislan bastante del ruido y ambiente exterior y no molestan a los demás.- Vienen provisto de un cable con una especie de interruptor muy práctico para graduar el sonido. Mueve perfectamente, sin necesidad de amplificador dedicado, reproductores tipo Mp3SONIDO:Aunque no soy un experto, para mi lo más destacable de estos cascos es la magnifica relación calidad de sonido-precio. Presentan unos bajos más que potentes, que destacan frente a las otras frecuencias, peron sin taparlas.CONCLUSIÃN:- Excelente calidad-precio: magnifico sonido, buen confor y buena calidad de construcción.- 100% recomendable su compra.
