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

Joggers, snowboarders, and other outdoor enthusiasts will delight in the Sony MDR-J20 headphones, as their contoured clips follow the curve of the ears to ensure a snug fit even when bouncing around. The headphones also feature a flexible ear hanger that reduces stress on the ear, along with an open-air design that lets in ambient sound without sacrificing the quality of the music. The latter function is particularly important when skateboarding or running, as users can listen for traffic noise and other audible threats. It's the audio, however, that matters to most listeners, and the MDR-J20 headphones deliver on that count, too. Each earpiece carries a powerful neodymium magnet that provides great sound at frequencies between 18 Hz and 22 kHz. Don't give in to poorly designed, bulky headphones that slow you down while exercising. The MDR-J20s, which weigh a mere 0.35 ounces, are a perfect fit. 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 »

Great value headphones

Pros Lightweight, Comfortable
Cons Weak Bass
Recommended it? Yes

These Koss entry level headphones are great for everyday use. They are very light and provide decent sound. The sounds isn't as crisp and the bass isn't as deep as more expensive headphones, but for this price it is definitely good. The headphones are comfortable and fit nicely, but will be felt if...

Works Fine - Good Sound - They Stay On While Active

Pros Inexpensive Over the Ear Design, reasonably comfortable
Cons Sound is OK, not fantastic
Recommended it? Yes

I've been looking for the ultimate set of headphones while working out for decades. Exercising is boring, so I started with a Walkman (listening to taped audio books) and evolved over the years to my current iPod (listening primarily to Podcasts - mostly from National Public Radio).

Sony MDR-J20 is a unique, problematic headphone

bykc409 Nov 15, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros no tangle cord! over-ear strap
Cons the sound quality is not constant, not very hard to break
Recommended it? No

I run a little. Jog is a more fitting term for what I do. I'm not one of those authentic joggers either... I run on a treadmill at the gym. I've got an Ipod Mini and I like to make 25 minute track lists while i'm warming up and then do my thing. Anyway... after seeing two magazine ads in one week... Read full review »
