I am not a headphone expert, but these headphones sound great when listening to my rock and classical mp3's. They are crisp, with tight bass. Ear fatigue is minimal for me when I have them on at low levels all day at work.

I question the "Collapsible" claim in the headphone title. The ear pieces swivel 90 degrees, but that's about it. The headband part does not fold, bend, or move otherwise. These may be too bulky if you need to stuff them in a laptop bag.

One of the ear pieces on my set just broke off after owning them for about 2 months. I was quite frustrated by this, but Koss offers a lifetime warranty, so I'll be sending them in for an exchange.

I bought my KOSS PRO3AA headphones at an electronics store. They last about 2 months, then the right headphone attachment broke while I was putting them on. They were not abused, and after much closer inspection I could see that the swivel is a very thin part, made of plastic, and had broken under normal usage.

While the sound in these are great, they only lasted 2 months. That isn't very long for $50 headphones. Koss wants me to ship them to their repair center at my expense, and pay for the return shipping costs as well. I am just going to spend that $10+ on something else more durable.

Great sound. Fantastic sound. Then one day, you'll try to adjust them, and they'll just shear off at the post. Not worth the money.

I bought the Koss Pro3aa after having a couple of pairs of cheap Panasonic headphones. They sound good, even at way too high of volumes, they fit nice and snug, and the person sitting next to you can't hear a thing. I use mine almost exclusively during game playing. I wear them for 2 hours at a time, except when I run to get a re-fill on my drink. For low to mid priced headphones, they are perfect. I would recommend them and I would buy them again.

The sound quality was as I expected... Much better than ear buds but avarage to low for full sized headphones. The build quality however left much to be desired. I imediately noticed that the connection fro
the speaker muff to headband looked questionable... And sure enough after regular use they failed there...I was actually extra careful when packing them up and they still broke...I will not buy a replacement.

thank your stars, I bought these in the dallas airport for over $90.

audio quality is tinny at best, and lacks a full dynamic range. the rubber headband is uncomfortable and pulls at your hair. its hard to justify the extra money if you haven't heard it before, but spend a few extra bucks and buy a pair of comparable Sennheisers.

koss here are not the worst, but really only worth about $23.

I purchased Koss' basic headphones, the Solo's, a few months ago for $20. I just needed something cheap for when I played computer games at night. I decided I wanted to upgrade to a nicer pair, mainly for listening to music on my mp3 player. I did a little research and for the money I wanted to spend I decided on the Pro3AA's. I ordered them Christmas morning, and they arrived this afternoon. I've already printed the return labels. The sound isn't terrible, but it's VERY similar to the Solo's I already own. The only difference is the 3AA's are louder, but to me that's not enough to justify the significant difference in price.

I'd have to say I'm disappointed with the purchase and this will definitely discourage me from buying any other type of Koss headphones in the future.

I bought these headphones two years ago for $70 after loosing my fathers 20year old PRO4s (oops). My big complaint about the PRO4s was that (the 20 year old ones) were heavy and not too comfortable so I chose the PRO3s. They sounded great for about 2 months when suddenly one earpiece just snapped off the headband. For $6 +$7 shipping I returned for a complete replacement. That is the great part. One year later I'm doing the same thing again. The earpiece snapped off again. I wasn't abusing these. I was just trying to put them on my head. Hindsight: I should have gone for the PRO4s or another brand that uses metal instead of cheap, flimsy plastic.
PROS: Good sound, light comfortable and won't break the bank.
CONS: Cheap construction. Breaks VERY easily.
If I could justify the MV1s I'd go for those.

I'm not a headphone expert but I wanted something for home use besides stock headphones from my delphi myfi radio and a pair of $1 jet blue headphones from a flight a year ago.

I didn't want to spent $65 or more on headphones, and for the money I feel like I made a good decision, these have impressive bass, sound good through all frequencies, fit well and are comfortable to wear for over an hour at a time.

I can't say anything bad about the headphones, and they are a huge improvement from stock headphones and those looking for something a little better without stepping into the more expensive categories of headphones.

What's with all the positive reviews on these headphone's sound? Maybe I just happened to buy a defective pair(bought them at 6th Ave. Electronics for about $50.). But I have a small suspicion that most of them, if not all of them, sound this bad. The trebble sounds way too thin, tinny and steely at a normal setting. Even with the bass from half-way to all the way up, there isn't much of a difference. Only with some recordings, these headphones sound okay. But it's certainly not enough for me to keep them or exchange them for the same product for reasons I stated above. Sorry Koss, but I'm going with the Sony V6!
