This model of noise canceling headphones by Koss are from their popular QuietZone line of headphones and is one of the best pair of noise canceling headphones from this line.
These headphones serve up a good combo of very good sound quality and very good noise reduction. Their style is an over the ear, cupped style so that helps with the noise reduction as well. The only downfall with the closed ear type of headphones is that they can become uncomfortable if worn for longer periods of time.
Users have reported a slightly uncomfortable pressure around the ears after wearing for longer periods of time. They can also cause the ears to feel hot and sweaty if worn for longer periods of time because of the vinyl material that the cups are made out of.
The sound quality is very good but there are some flaws in there as can be expected with most headphones. They have very distinguished bass but the mid-range is only somewhat good.
The midrange can also be a bit rough and muffled at times and the treble can sound somewhat recessed and little rolled off. The best thing that these headphones that these headphones have going for the them is the great bass that they can produce.
All of the reviewers for these headphones seem to agree that the bass that these headphones can kick out are very good. So if you’re a music lover and you love a good deal of bass in your music and are looking for a cheaper alternative to more expensive noise canceling headphones then these headphones could be a perfect match for you.
