Different length cords per ear kill my gym workout [Posted on 2008-04-22]
I like the fit and the way they sound, but the major defect is that the main cord splits closer to one earbud than the other, creating a lot of extra cord that flops around when i'm working out.
It's so annoying I've gone back to the white Koss Plug model, which has even cords. What's more annyoing is the pics here don't show that that is the style of the cords. Buyer beware.
Great product otherwise... sounds very good and I like the connection to my iPod and the feel of the cord itself.
Great set of earphones [Posted on 2008-04-24]
Was disappointed in the poor volume level of this item. Other earphones I use had twice the level. And these are inserted in the ear canal so that very little sound escapes.
Lo and behold, another user showed me I had them in BACKWARDS. The end of the bud that LOOKS like it has the speaker is actually the side you use to insert the bud into the ear. No wonder the sound volume was low. Once I swtiched things around and decided that the cushions didn't actually fit on the wrong side of the bud (it is reasonably symmetrical), then the sound was just fine. I wondered why my wife was saying the phones were pretty loud...the speakers were aimed toward her, not me. For some reason, I can't change the rating I gave it (Gave it a 3...would now give it a 5)
Excellent Headphones, A few problems. [Posted on 2008-05-11]
First off, I'm reallly happy with these earphones. The sound quality is great, significantly better then my last pair of similar priced headphones (actually these were cheaper).
There are two downsides.
One: The asymetrical cords are OVERexxagerated resulting in all the weight being on the short ear and it's more likely to fall out. The long end it too long, but that's not so much an issue (i daisy chained it). The total length of the cord is fine, pretty long- but not too long.
Other downside:
The "muffs" on the ears are not very good. They're much more flimsy then my last pair, and do not isolate nearly as much. Worse yet for some,the effect of the poor isolation is much weaker base. Luckily, I switched with the spairs from my old pair of headphones (lost) and benefited from this better sound quality,with the same old muffs.
My conclusion:
Great Price! Great Sound! Two caveats: take heed.
Garbage! [Posted on 2008-05-21]
This is the second pair of Koss KEB24 that I've owned. I liked the look of these and they fit really well, I have smaller ears. But that's as far as it goes for the pro's on these. The first started out fine then turned very tinny, within an hour of use, got this second pair, seems the left and right ears are switched, usually the right is softer than the left in most pairs I've owned, but it was switched in this pair, and now the left ear is VERY tinny, after again an hour of use, so much that I wont even put it in it sounds so disgusting. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone...ever. Now I'm off to find ANOTHER set of ear buds that'll fit.
amazing bass!!!! [Posted on 2008-06-02]
Today I was watching a video on my laptop with my friend and we had to use her headphones. As soon as the video started playing I was completely blown away by the amazing bass! I have tried buying bass-boosting headphones and they never work, but these are soooo cool! I knew I had to get them for myself so here I am, just hours later, ordering a pair! The variety of colors is cool too =)
