Great Headphones! [Posted on 2008-05-08]
I own a pair of the UR16 headphones and I was devastated when I was informed that they had been discontinued. This was the only pair of headphones (in my price range) that cupped my entire ear and had great noise canceling sound. After owning these headphones for 10+ years, the wire had shorted out. I was so upset when I couldn't get them fixed or replaced. After buying and returning several other pairs of headphones I came across the Koss UR18 headphones. I was surprised to see how much they resembled my previous pair. I ordered these headphones with the mind set that I will probably not like these either. I was wrong! They are better them my previous pair! The sound quality and comfort were the same but this pair collapsed for easy packing / storage! It was a great find!
so close to perfection [Posted on 2008-06-26]
These have a great over the ear feel to them!! I purchased them for about $12 plus $5 shipping and I couldn't be happier. There is quite a good tight amount of bass accompanied by good mids and highs. I am using the headphones with my home receiver(Onkyo tx-sr805) so I don't wake up the family when I watch a movie for play videogames late at night.
The sound is great, the isolation is great(there is not active noise canceling) I've never liked noise canceling with the extra battery you have to replace felt unnecessary and these don't need any help. Not to mention they fold up and are very light weight.
The ONLY small reason I didn't give them a 5 star rating was because after wearing them for about 6 hours my ears felt a little pinched towards the top and the ear pieces gets sweaty where the faux leather is placed on your head. these replace my old senheisser eh150s. these were totally worth every cent!!!
To warn people the chord is 8ft long so I wouldn't use them for portability but you could rubber band the extra cable and put it in your pocket. Try them out for sure, they're a good solid investment. If you need crazy perfect sound these will only be C average for you. I think they're great though :)
