wmp Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Yes I did. Two or three pair. I forget. What a waste. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITGITC Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 I had at least two pair. They were great-sounding phones, but HEAVY. There was a time when these were the ones to get. I gues it was back in the mid seventies. I think Koss went downhill from there.

JohnH Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Their replacement warranty is unheard of anywhere else. Have four pairs of Koss headphones three R80s and another lightweight headphone. They wear out frequently- totally because of gym abuse. I really hope the company does not go down, because I will never ever find another deal like them. I like the sound of the Headphones- small light weight or earbuds are not going to do the job for me at the gym because I need passive noise reduction so I don't hear the gym's music and other noise. The R80s are not heavy at all. They are not the world's greatest high end headphones- but they work for me. Also use them for practicing and they work great for that too. This is terrible as I have always been treated the best by this company. They should-...ah well I won't say what they should do to her. Evil witch.

JMcS Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Ah come on don't be so hard on her. She's just been trying to spread the wealth around. Besides, if she didn't take it it would just go to her evil corporate masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nightime Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I've got a pair of Koss earbuds sitting in a little case on my desk at work.

JohnH Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Everyone there has always been super nice on the phone too- even the security guy. So this is terrible. I can't believe companies don't have controls in place to prevent this kind of situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I had Koss headphones when I was a teen, and beat the heck out of them. I think I finally got rid of them when the pads "deflated."

Dave Horne Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Yep. I bought one many years ago and have no idea where they are now. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message. In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
