Koss QZ99


$60.00 Released January, 2007

Product Shot 1 The Pros:High degree of passive noise cancelling, outperforms most similar models in this price range in this aspect. Great for listening while surrounded by louder noises or consistent noises. Noise blocking is similar to some low-end active cancelation products, but does not require batteries.

The Cons:Heavier than many similar products. Prolonged use tends to result in discomfort for most users. Overall large form factor limits their portability and appropriateness in certain situations.

The Koss QZ99 are passive noise cancelling headphones. The QZ99 model are mid-range in the QZ noise cancelling product line, both in price and in technical specifications.  For a higher end product, try the QZ50 or the QZ2000.
