5.0 out of 5 stars Headphones, February 17, 2007

By	Karen Keffer (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a computer teacher and may of the applications that we use in my classroom involve audio. After the first few weeks of school, I decided that 38 computers all making noise was simply not working for me or for my students. I knew that headphones were the answer. I pay for these items out of my own pocket and needed something inexpensive, but reliable. These headphones fit the bill. It is much quieter in my classroom now, and the students can actually hear their own computer, not all 38 of them!

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for the price, February 17, 2007

By	J. Palmer (New York, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Your basic inexpensive headphones. Four foot cord is too short- presumably targeted for portable music players, but bad for connecting to a desktop computer or anything else that is more than a few feet away. Sound is good, but bass response is rather weak.
On my pair, one of the drivers has an annoying metallic rattle at certain frequencies, nearly constant at higher volumes. I paid something like $7 for these, so it's not even worth the hassle of setting up a return.
I chose these because I like the style- I don't like ear buds or behind-the-head headphones, and I needed something for casual use. I also have a set of Koss PortaPro headphones (~$40) which are excellent. In retrospect, I would recommend spending the extra cash for a set of PortaPros (not the SportaPro), or the Sennheiser P-100.

5.0 out of 5 stars Koss 147737 UR5 Sp Stereo Headphones Review, November 4, 2006

By	J. Lash (Conklin, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good inexpensive headphones. Keep these on hand for times where additional headsets are needed or for replacements for existing running headsets. They have a pretty good life expectancy and have lasted through daily runs for months and months in all types of weather.
