Consumer review (newegg.com)

Mediocre sound, horrible fit

 

On the adjustment issue, the fronts of the headphones dig into the top of my frontal ear area and the back sides won't stay close to the head/ear. So, you not only have ear pain after a few minutes, but you feel like half the sound is leaking out the...

Not very pricy

They sit with a forward tilt on my head with no ability to adjust and they crackle when reproducing bass

Looks nices, sounds fair

 

Its a nice buy at $xx, but for $xx, if you don't mind sport clips, you can get the Koss KSC75 which has much better bass support and much better audio support in general.

Looks great. Design has been improved from the product is repleaced (TD60). Product feels very tight on ears. Product feels very weel built while being VERY light. A lot of mechanical parts removed from the design of the TD60. Strong treble support

Horrible bass support. Buzzes at loud bass, and if new, it will crackle at loud audio in general. Only goes on one way (left phone on left ear), not both ways like the replaced TD60. May look odd on your head as the headband will line the top of your...

Koss UR21 not worth it

 

I bought this product to use for typing from recorded voice audio in a courtroom setting.  The only good thing about this product is the noise-dampening they provide.  The bad things are the inline volume control has to be set to maximum.  The...

Noise dampening feature is good

Too tight, fit backwards, inline volume useless, cord too short

Koss UR21 Headphone Reviews

 

I tried this new Koss UR21, just to see how well it would match up to its older UR20 model. These are still fairly comfortable and inexpensive. Unfortunately, these cans had poor sound quality.

Very Good Headphones

 

Most of the time finding large headphones below even $50 is very hard to find. The HD202 by Sennheiser is a solid contender, and so are select pairs from Sony, but very spotty. Luckily, the Koss UR21 is one of those spots. Better than the...

Looks great, but sounds pretty fair

 

I used to own a pair of Koss TD60's which I never used towards the end of their time since they had been become pretty beaten up over the near 10 years of their use. Instead I have been using the KSC50 and KSC75 ever since I stopped using the TD60's....

Looks great. Design improved over TD60. Build quality better than TD60. Good treble

Buzzes on loud bass. Looks odd on head. Goes on only one way
