Product Description

From the Manufacturer

A portable headphone is a headphone that is used on-the-go. Portable headphones tend to be smaller, more lightweight, and may have features that lend themselves to listening on-the-go, like carrying cases or collapsible headbands.

Features:

• Frequency response: 80-20,000 Hz
• Dynamic element for extended frequency response
• Lightweight in-the-ear earbuds for music on the go
• Includes convenient wind-up spool carrying case for protective storage
• Reliable L plug for improved reliability and durability
• Straight, dual-entry, 4-foot cord

Product Description

The Koss P4 Earbud Style Headphones deliver sound that's unbelievably full and true, from an apparatus so miniaturized it's easy to forget you're wearing it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Please check the specifications, December 14, 2005

For those who complain the volume is low and they lack bass: If you check the specifications you will see the frequency response is listed as starting at 80hz... they're missing the first two octaves! Also, not listed here is the sensitivity which is also very low. The higher the sensitivity the higher the volume at a given setting.

Basically these are a pathetic excuse for earphones from a company like Koss. I've seen better specs on phones from the dollar store (literally!).

1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE STAY AWAY FROM THEM AT ANY COST!!!!!, September 27, 2005

These headphones suck! End of story. The Sony's they replaced were blown but they had a rich base sound, were comfortable and stayed in your ear. I bought these on a budget and am happy to say Ill be 4 bucks richer next trip to walmart. These are just crap. The foam padding easily tears, constantly falls off and is REQUIRED to stand having these in your ear. You will spend more time fiddling with them they you will listening. Even when you are listening I describe the sound as, granny, tinny and flat not to mention that they consume way to much power so the volume has to be cranked to get even a normal volume, not an efficient use of the battery on your poor player. Lifetime warranty? WHY BOTHER! These are horrible sounding and feeling. Stay away even for $4 you will be disappointed. These make a poor compliment to my Panasonic MP3 cd player, ill stick with the original headphones that came with the cd player amd are much better sounding. Spend the money on some Sony's your ears will thank you lal the way around.....PS

Ill keep you posted about what Koss has to say about this pair....

Recommend?

NO NOT EVER FOR ANY PRICE

I've purchased some Koss products in the twenty to fifteen dollar range, and have been surprized by the sound quality, but I was dissapointed by these. I was hoping to use them with my ipod (my apple earbuds are a little blown out), but they are way less powerful than the apple earbuds. I had to turn the volume all the way up just to equal the sound that I got from my apple earbuds at normal volume. And even then, the sound was less full and warm sounding. I immediately converted back to my blown out apple earbuds. These headphones are not terrible, they're good for their price, but I expected greatness. Just go ahead and spend some extra money.
