I have owned a pair of these headphones for four years and they have provided me with excellent sound. They are very clear and comfortable to wear, and do not distort at high levels. I highly reccomend these Koss headphones.

For $40 I expected far better build quality. The cord is quite thin on these, and they are all around made of a light duty plastic that does not inspire much confidence. The sound is OK, but nothing to rave about. I bought this model in the first place because Amazon was out of most of the other models I wanted. Now I know why this one was left over.

I bought these headphones to replace a pair Labtec LT-835s which I'd been using for five years. I am not an audiophile by any means, but the audio quality of these headphones does not meet my expectations. They sound kind of -- echo-y, I guess. Plus, the earcups are too small and the whole unit grips the head much too hard. These factors combine to make it a pain to use the TD-80 for more than 15 minutes at a time.

The per-ear volume control sounds interesting (and even useful) but is not well implemented. The position and looseness of the dials makes it easy to jog one while you are putting them on or taking them off, throwing the L-R balance out-of-whack.

I'm sending them back.
