KTX-Pro - When just hearing it isn't enough.

byLifeStar May 17, 2001
46 Helpfuls 47 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great design, great sound, very comfortable to wear. It just rocks!
Cons Long periods of use will cause ears to be sweaty.
Recommended it? Yes

The beginning:

Let me start off by saying that I didn?t care about the quality of headphones before. I thought that they were all the same. As long as you can hear the music and words, that?s all that really mattered. Well, things change, especially when you become a sound engineer for... Read full review »

Koss KTX-PRO - Inexpensive and Excellent Headphones for Your iPod or Other MP3 Player

bydkozin Sep 4, 2009
26 Helpfuls 27 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, light, comfortable, excellent sound, good impedance and volume with portable gear
Cons Not as sound-insulating as in-ear or enclosed headphones
Recommended it? Yes

I have quite a few headphones, but mostly use the Sennheiser HD202 or Creative EP-640 (when I need sound insulation) and prefer the Koss KSC75 most of the time. I use the headphones with my iPod as well as with a portable CD player and with my Panasonic XR57 receiver.

Even though I prefer... Read full review »

Cons Large carrying case
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the Sony MDR-NC500d noise canceling headphones about a year ago and they did have a problem with thumping on the left channel. Instead of returning them to the store where I purchased them I contacted Sony and requested a replacement. The replacement they sent me work perfectly and... Read full review »

Great Electronics, BUT...

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent Audio<br>Digital Noise Canceling second to none
Cons FRAGILE<br>Input cable slightly undersized<br>Did I mention fragile?
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned my MDR-NC500d Digital Noise Canceling Headphones for a couple of months. I sampled several high-end headphones, and found these to be equal to all that I tried in sound quality. The Digital Noise Canceling circuitry bests all that I sampled, to including the Bose QC15, and... Read full review »
