Home and portable audio take on fresh life with quality headphones, and Koss's lightweight, closed-ear UR40 is designed to keep outside noises out and headphone sound in--perfect for use in busses and libraries alike. With its extended frequency range of 15 to 22,000 Hz, you'll never miss a single bass note or want for high-frequency splash or shimmer.\nThe UR40's titanium driver elements ensure taut low end and clear treble, while its collapsible headband design further lends it to portable applications and protects the headphone when not in use. The headphone comes with a four-foot, dual-entry cord and a .25-inch stereo adapter for use with hi-fi components. Less

The Grado SR80 Headphone delivers more powerful sound and a unique design. They operate on a vented diaphragm design that incorporates a large air chamber, for a lower frequency resonance (distortion) & extended bass response. The 4 conductor connecting cable and larger ear cushions give a more open stage, for better bass resonance. If you strive for the very best listening experience, then Grado is the way to go. Less

Great light weigh headphones

bydreammaker182 Jan 16, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros light weight, comfortability, dynamic range and trebble
Cons short thin cord, lacks the bass of other headphones of this catagory.
Recommended it? Yes

These headphones are really lightweight and have a really good dynamic range. You will not miss any trebble tone with these headphones. The bass is a bit weak but the UR-40's make up for this with comfort and low noise inside or out of the earcups. The only thing that I would change about these... Read full review »

I'm not an audiophile, but the person that suggested I buy these Grado SR80's was one.  I've been totally pleased with the audio performance, I use them every day at work.  I'm even more impressed with their durability.  I had a pair of Bose headphones before, but the wire broke at...

You can't judge this book by its cover!

Pros Very detailed, warm, round, natural tones. Nice sound stage/stereo separation
Cons Sound leakage, looks ugly and cheap, can cause minor discomfort
Recommended it? Yes

Background: I spent about a month and a half researching before I made this purchase. Any time I buy something which I expect to use often and for a long time, I do considerable research on available products and current technologies. I was replacing a set of Sennheiser HD210 around-the-ear... Read full review »
