Compared to close rivals, these cans from Koss feel heavy and cumbersome.
The rubber ear pads aren't very comfortable: ironic, because these headphones are comfortably the poorest performers we've seen for a while.
Listen to Eminem's Same Song and Dance and it sounds like it was recorded from the confines of a size five shoebox: there's a hard edge that renders long-term listening impossible.
The only saving grace is that bass is generous, but still, they're way behind their rivals
