Better than expected

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2021

I bought these to use when I was walking / running as a stand in until I could afford to buy a pair of wireless ear buds. They functioned exactly as expected, and to be hones the sound quality is much better than nearly any other pair of headphones I have (excepting my nicest). They stay in during runs, and also were comfortable enough that I wear them while I work, the fit is so good that these also do a really good job backing out background noise. I would say if I have any complaint, its that they block out so much sound that it can be difficult to hear your surroundings when out for a run.

TLDR; if you want cabled running headphones, these are the ones you should get. If you just want good cables headphones, these are still the ones you should get.

These are for looking cute, not working out.

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2018

These broke after 1 single run in the Florida summer heat.

Why? Because I, like most people who work out, sweat when i work out.

What happens when you sweat? You get wet. What happens when the mic on these headphones gets wet? Your music distorts and it kills your vibe. Absolutely worthless if you actually need something to work out hard with.

Unfortunate, because these sound very good, but you can't get them wet, so you can't sweat if you wear these.

Why can't manufacturers simply make a sports headphone for people who want to disconnect and work out? I don't need 20 dollar headphones to have a mic. If i want something all-purpose for every single aspect of my life I'll spend more money.

I'd ask for a refund, but they're so cheap I don't really want to go through the hassle. All I ask is to make a headphone for those who want to workout and disconnect from the rat race, and don't need a mic attached to everything they own in order to be on call 24/7.

Won't fall out of ears!

The earphones are very comfortable with good sound. I was so tired of constantly having to replace earbuds. These earbuds work perfectly.

Pretty Good Earphones

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2022

Color: GrayVerified Purchase

I like over-the-ear earphones because the ones that hang in your ear tend to fall out and don't deliver quite as good sound. There aren't that many over-the-ear options these days. These Koss earphones deliver excellent sound. They fit over my ear and in my ear canal pretty well. They have 3 different-sized tips to make for a more comfortable fit. The part that goes over the ear is a bit angled, and sometimes it doesn't fit quite as close to my head as I would ideally wish, but I'd still give the fit at least 4 stars. The length of the cord is nice and long so that it reaches into my pants pocket where my iPod is. My main complaint is with with the way the end of the cord plugs into the iPod. Most earphones have either a straight plug in or a 90-degree plug. The Koss earphones have a somewhat flexible angled plug in, maybe around 45 degrees. That would be fine, but when the angled plug, which is somewhat flexible, is flexed, such as when I bend over and the iPod and connector is crunched in my pocket, it can turn off the music (or audio book in my case). The Koss earphones have a small switch that you can squeeze that is about a foot below the ear on one of the 2 wires hanging down from the earphone. That's a handy thing when my wife wants to talk to me. I can pause my audio more easily than digging into my pocket to turn off the iPod. But, alas, this pause feature is also triggered when the plug-in at the iPod is flexed. So, when I'm working on something and bend over or otherwise flex my pocket area, the audio will pause. That requires me to bend over in the "right way" again or to reach to the switch hanging near my neck to re-establish the audio. It's not the end of the world, but it is an annoyance. That's the reason for my 4 star review instead of 5 stars.

Great for working out

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019

Color: GrayVerified Purchase

I dont like in ear pods, my ears are smaller than most sizes and they are always falling out with a run, and when I wrap them around my ear and on the phone the mic is so high no one can hear me correctly, this solves all those issues. Its wraps around the ear very comfortably and because of that the ear piece doesn't actually fit inside my ear and just on the outside, so again, the sound quality is great but its not in ear so its just good enough. The fit always stays on without trouble with runs, rows and any exercise that I have used it for, they are solid on the ear and dont move. Sweat is not issue and neither is the rain. its great and after trying 4 different types of headphones these are the only winners.

Love the earloops, very good sound

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021

Color: VioletVerified Purchase

I’ve probably purchased eight pairs of these earphones over the last 10 years. I like falling asleep to music but I don’t like having Bluetooth in my head for hours. These earbuds stay in my ears, and lie flat against my head so I can sleep. The soft plastic of the ear loop keeps them comfortable. I use them when I’m awake too, which is how I know the sound is terrific.

Cannot Use While Excersing and Listening to Music on an iPhone

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018

Color: VioletVerified Purchase

I bought two of these so you may see the exact same review twice. These fit good and they sound good. The over the ear clips are excellent. The problem is that they have a microphone on them that seems to pick up sounds to easily. The reason this is a problem is that I never use these to make phone calls. I only use them to listen to music while running. Between Siri and Voice activation on my iPhone and the microphone on these headphones the music keeps stopping because the phone thinks I am asking for something. This is happening on both pairs I purchased. I did notice that this does not happen at the beginning of my runs only after a while when I start to breath heavier. I can turn off Siri but you can not turn off the voice activation easy. I was going to try to block the microphone on these things but I just purchased a very cheap pair of JVC headphones with similar hooks but no microphones.

Great affordable in ear headphones

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2022

Color: GrayVerified Purchase

These headphones are great for what they are. I mainly use them while mowing the lawn and working out. For the price you can't beat them. They stay securely in your ears and have very good sound including bass. Yes you can find better sounding in ear headphones but not at this price point. I had tried JVC Earclip Earbud Sport Earbud Earclip Black (HAEC10B) (HA-EC10B) and was so disappointed with the sound. I immediately ordered these KOSS headphones to replace them and am so glad I did.

Good sound, sloppy fit

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

Color: GrayVerified Purchase

The sound is fine for a tiny speaker and its intended use. The earloops, however, are so oversized and floppy that rather than helping to secure fit, they require help just to stay in place, and there is always a chance that an earbud will fall out. If only these earbuds had firm earloops like those on the JLab Go Air Sport - Wireless Workout Earbuds, you would have a great product for those of us who want wired earbuds for use longer than a wireless charge will support.

Above average sound

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2023

Color: GrayVerified Purchase

Like all Koss products, the sound quality is stellar, especially for the price point. The only caution I would give as with all Koss headphones is that the wires tend to wear out fairly easily. My last pair was purchased in March, and started to have issues around October. It's a fine product as long as you're careful with it.
