Beautiful sound clarity [Posted on 2007-11-27] These headphones sound very clear and open. You hear detail in every recording that you never noticed before. They are also surprisingly comfortable given their size. Excellent headphones.
Good headphones but ... [Posted on 2008-01-23] These headphones sound great and work well. The only problem is that your neck starts to hurt after wearing them for a while because they are heavy. This will pass though! After wearing them for a while your neck gets use to the extra weight and you will fill fine again. Same with the ear's, they are tight against your ears. While it blocks outside sound great they hug up on your ears pretty hard and start to hurt after a while. My head and ears are of average size and I thought after reading some of these reviews, only people with big heads had this problem. I think if you have really small ears then you wont have this problem. But they are great headphones. I bought them mainly for gaming to block outside noise so I could hear footsteps.
Not very good. [Posted on 2008-03-03] I had a friend who owned some Koss UR20s, and they were awesome headphones. The bass response was good, they were THE most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, and they've lasted a good many years.
Contrasting this, I decided to "go all out" and buy some Pro4AATs. The statistics on the Pro4AAs were blowing the UR20s out, so I bought it.
I've been dissatisfied with my purchase ever since.
The Pro4AATs have mediocre bass response at best. The sound quality is thin. They weigh too much! I can't wear them for longer than an hour, because it presses down too hard on the top of my head.
3 years later, I'm still using these Pro4AAs, and my friend is still using his UR20s. I did a sound test, and the UR20s still wup up on the Pro4AAs.
Destroys the market for the price range! [Posted on 2008-03-28] My father had some original Pro 4AAs from the 70s. They were built like a tank and still work despite the foam keeps coming off. I think the sound quality is a little better with these although I never got to A/B them and these are more efficient which makes these usable with sources other than your home receiver.
I got these as a replacement and I drop them on the hard floor almost once a day and they're still intact. Granted they aren't exactly tank-phones like the originals, but they are much lighter, and a little bit smaller which is unfortunate for us with large heads, but still decently sized.
Most importantly, the sound is at the quality you'd expect when in the $200-250 range. Seriously, you can't go wrong with these for for $60.
You can still get the Pro4AAs too if you don't mind the weight. Those things are an absolute tank, but I am not sure how the new ones compare to the old ones either.
GREAT SOUND AND EXCELLANT VALUE [Posted on 2008-05-21] after trying a few different open backed headphones i knew i had to have closed back phones. these koss pro4aat's are right for me. block out almost all ambient sound while delivering the music as you want it to sound.initially i found the sound muddy and booming-easily cured by turning bass levels down (not something i normally do!!) some reviewers find them heavy or hot on the ears-but not me. they also look good and are well made. you would have to spend a lot more money to get a better headphone.
