Howdy,
the Cnet review of these suckers was right on the money.
These play well above the league. You have to figure out how
to wear them, they are an old design that perches instead of resting
on your head.

These are better suited for music than games. Not that they
are bad for games, just that they aren't made to favor any part of the spectrum.

But what they do is make music. Some pieces of audio gear are just a pleasure to
listen to and these fall into that category.

Couldn't agree more with you. My girlfriend owns these and so I borrowed them a few days ago and was completely BLOWN AWAY by their sonic quality!

Also, gotta love the Koss lifetime warranty! :)

Also, if you have $15 more to spend, I would recommend these 120%:

Audio-Technica PRO5V

My previous headphones cost 3 times as much and didn't sound as good.
Never thought I'd be happy with headphones this cheap.

I like these ones, personally. A bit more, but damn. They're awesome. I won't need another pair for a long while.
