Koss KSC17
$15.00
Released January, 2003
The Pros:Volume control is easy to work with. Feels comfortable even after hours of use. Reasonably compact design, very light, easy to carry around.
The Cons:Sound in the highs is noticeably tinny. No sound isolation, what you listen to competes with surrounding sounds. Sound leakage is pretty bad, everyone has to listen to what you're listening to.

The adjustable headband accomodates all head shapes, and will not interfere with hats or helmets. Dynamic elements of the KSC17 are contructed with mylar to give a frequency response from 40-20,000 Hz with minimal mechanical distortion. Neodymium iron boron rare earth magnet gives them higher output volumes, even from low-voltage portable devices. The included foam earpads allow users to still hear the world around them, making them ideal for work-outs, navigating the city or use at the office. The volume adjustment on the cord makes volume control easy, especially if the portable device being used is stored out of easy reach. The KSC17 has a 4 foot single entry cord, with L-shaped standard 3.5mm (1/8") plug.
