Goog but tight on the ears
The sound on these is great but they hurt my ears as they are too tight on the head.

Koss...Still Going Strong after 50 Years!
I bought my first pair of Koss Stereo Headphones almost 50 years ago (in 1959). I had just built a DynaKit Stereo System and I wanted a good set of stereo headphones to match it (stereo was quite a novelty in the late fifties). Koss headphones were rated highly even then and although I don't remember the model or price, I'm sure they were fairly expensive. Those headphones lasted me about 30 years until they finally gave up the ghost from a lot of use. Just recently I decided to buy a new pair of headphones for computer telephony and started to look through the large selection at Amazon. The Koss SB-45 phones caught my eye and in a fit of nostalgia, I ordered them. Since they were slightly over $25.00 I took advantage of Amazon's free shipping. They're just what I wanted. Nice and solid with excellent sound and microphonic qualities. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and I'm really glad to see Koss is still alive and well in the good ole USA. I highly recommend these inexpensive, quality headphone (with mic) to everyone.

Incredible price for incredible sound!
I wanted a good gaming headset. Looked around, and this was recommended. Boy, am I glad I followed that advice.

I've dinked around with lots of headsets. Most expensive I tried was the Razer Barracuda headset, and while those got plenty loud (almost went deaf once when I turned off mute), the quality just wasn't there.

These are like 30% of the price I paid on those, and the sound quality is AMAZING. Great range, great volume, etc. The SB-45 is dirt cheap for what you're getting. And they're comfortable, too.

Gaming... music... everything is wonderful. I'd use these as regular music headphones with my MP3 player, too, but I'd feel weird wearing a big headset like this, plus a microphone.

Good value--two connectors!
The title might seem strange, but the hardest things to nail down about these headphones is whether there are two connectors--one of the mic and another for the earphones. Even the the Koss site suggests there is but one. As the picture I've posted testifies, yes, there are two!

Otherwise, I agree with the other reviewers. Good value. Lots (too much?) bass. I find the treble end a bit weak, but sound is always subjective. Large comfortable. The mic boom is on the left side. The headset can be reversed to put the mic on the right (the swivel allows it) but it would reverse right and left when listening in stereo. I wish the mic boom swiveled down just a bit lower, but the headphones can be tilted a bit to achieve the same effect.

If I did not need a microphone, these would not be my headphones of choice solely for listening. I'd spend a few more dollars for something better. If something were to happen to them, I'd probably try something else (less bulky, better fidelity and spending more money in the process), but I've no real regrets since so many inexpensive products are awful while this headset represents good value.

Inexpensive. Feels Good. Works Great.
I am very happy with this purchase. The price was low. I like the over the ear design as it blocks out a lot of the ambient noise in the room. These headphones are very comfortable. My PC recognized them right away and Skype and Yahoo! Messenger worked with them without any problems. The sound quality is good, but then I do not have a high-end pair of headphones to compare them to.
