5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound reproduction; very comfortable; excellent bass, April 20, 2000

If the previous review disconcerted you somewhat, don't pay much attention to it. Yes, I wouldn't take these headphones for rugged use such as jogging, but that's not what these were designed for nor were they what I paid money for. Also, I don't buy headphones on the basis of how they look. These headphones have the goods where it counts (e.g. sound).

You can wear these headphones for hours with few negative effects, thanks to the padding. They also block outside noise surprisingly well. The bass is great and this makes for a good listen when out of range of a good subwoofer. I found the eight foot length of the cord plenty long, almost too much for my purposes.

Perhaps the best virtue of these headphones is its value. For the money amazon charges, you get the best in this price range and possibly equivalent to some higher-priced models. My only complaint, which I share with the previous review, is that the connections are not gold-plated. Buy these if you don't want to spend a lot for what you can get for much less.

I have been using these phones for some time and find them to be comfortable and very excellent in sound! I highly recommend them to other apartment dwellers and to those, like me, who are often confined either to a comfortable chair or the bed because of pain --the extra padding on the phones is very helpful. I cannot say more about the sound, it is simply terrific!

5.0 out of 5 stars It Is Very Good, December 23, 1999

This review is from: Koss TD-61 Studio Quality Home Stereophone (with bonus HP-3 Portable Earbud) (Electronics)

The sound on this Koss TD-61 Home Stereophone is great and the padding around the ears is excellant. I reccomend these headphones to anyone who feels that the sound quality on their headphones is less than satisfactory. I also reccomend them to people whos ears hurt after listening to music for long periods of time because the padding on these headphones is very comfortable.
