Koss KTXPRO1 Titanium Portable Headphones with Volume Control

At home I had been using the larger type headphones (Sony) that fit over the ear completely. They are heavy but I had no intention of changing. I was looking through different ones for work and had saved these in my shopping cart, but had decided on a different pair. I accidently purchased these and it wasn't worth sending them back for a refund so I kept them and now I use these instead of my Sonys. The sound is fantastic. They are much lighter and the volume control make these one of the best mistakes I've made. There are better headphones out there, but for this price, these deserve a 5 star rating.

Recently purchased an MP3 player with low output, and wanted a pair of on-- not IN-- ear 'phones. These have been a more than pleasant surprise! As a classical music listener, portable phones are plagued with shrill highs, boomy bass; these have a smooth, fairly neutral quality. The headband design is very comfortable, the volume control convenient and they are efficient enough for my MP3 player. At this price (and even if much more), a great find and great value.

Hi all, I have been a user of the Radio Shack Pro 25/35 series of headphones for years. The Pro 25s have been replaced by the Pro 35s, which have been replaced by the Pro 35As in the past couple years or so. You may ask "what relevance is that to me?"
because the Pro 35As are rebranded versions of the KOSS KTXPRO1s
(Just as the Pro25s were rebranded versions of the KTXPRO)!! They are equivalent right down to the last response spec, they even look almost identical (go look yourself!). The only real difference worth noting is the 1/8" plug on the Radio Shack verion is gold plated. Radio Shack will charge you twice the price if they are not on sale, so you can save serious dough here.

Now, down to the sound and comfort which is what (i hope) all of you want to know. Of most importance to me is sound. I tell you these deliver overall sound equivalent or better than budget Sennheisers! (i have listened to the HD-220 and HD-457, the HD-457 i use for backup and...Read more
