Digital camera Review: The best of their class, by far.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Koss KTX-Pro, which is the same exact pair of headphones which goes under the name Pro-35 at RadioShack, are better than anything else on the market in their price range, in terms of sound quality. The only thing I've ever griped about, was that after extended use at high volume levels, my ears DID start to hurt just a little, and required a break. I think it somehow had to do with the shape and density of the metal adjustable outer band. Perhaps it was just a bit gripping, but still worth enduring, none the less. But that problem has now been solved. I simply bended them into shape, until they started to fit more comfortably. It's kind of like a new deck of playing cards - at first, they're a little TOO crisp and new, until after you've spent enough time "breaking them in," so they'll feel smoother when you shuffle. Or, if you know anything about string instruments, such as the guitar or violin, then you know the same thing also applies to every fresh new pair of strings.And with the warranty I purchased with these headphones, I can break them and go right down the street to RadioShack, and replace them with a fresh new pair, as often as I want for free, until nearly 2006! And I love the fact that while my portable MD is snuggly in my inside coat pocket, with my coat zipped up, I can still run the cord down the front outside of the coat, then up into my pocket (thanks to the cord being long enough for this procedure), thus giving me easy access to the in-line volume slider. Even the volume slider itself is noteworthy, in the way the max volume level is at the bottom, while volume-down is at the top position of the slider. At first, one might think this is upside-down, but somehow it just feels convenient and natural after a while.
Summary of Koss KTX-Pro Portable Stereophone
The KTXPro Stereo headphones from Koss have a nifty little way to make sure your sound level is just the way you want it. There's a volume control on the cord so you can easily fine tune the volume level. Excellent sound reproduction comes from a frequency response of 15-25, 000 Hz and a Titanium layered diaphragm. Foam ear cushions and an adjustable headband keep you comfortable and make sure the headphones stay put. There's a straight 5' cord with 1/8" and ?" stereo plugs for home and portable use.Koss's KTX-Pro portable headphones affordably deliver intimate stereo sound with a frequency response rated at 15 to 25,000 Hz. Their titanium-layered diaphragm fosters accurate sound reproduction while open-ear, foam-layered earpieces offer less colored sound than a closed-ear design. This format, while ideal for home use, make these headphones less than optimal performers when used portably, as outside sounds tend to creep in more easily (and your music can be heard by others!).
These lightweight stereophones feature an adjustable headband with sling for a comfortable, secure fit. An inline volume control on the KTX-Pro simplifies level adjustment. Koss also includes a straight dual-entry 5-foot cord along with 0.125-inch and 0.25-inch stereo plugs for versatile portable or home use.
Koss's outstanding lifetime parts and labor warranty backs the KTX-Pro.
