The breakdown-
PROS:
*Sound seems to be good for the price
*Nice look
*Good cord length (~ 8 ft)

CONS:
*High resistance (60 ohms) which makes it harder for devices to drive.
*No in-line mute/volume control
***Not comfortable (behind-the-neck design)

Bottom line: If headset was not so uncomfortable to wear these might make a great headset.

The details-
I was looking for a multi-purpose headset. I use skype to talk with my friends on-line while we play games, also I like to listen to music when I am waiting for my friends to get on-line. So, I wanted a headset that had a average to good quality mic, and offered good (above average) sound.

I was thinking since heard people boast about the great quality for the price of KOSS's KSC-50s and KSC-75s, I thought I would give the the CS-80 headsets a try. The CS-80 is just like the KSC-50s but have a behind the head design and a mic.

The KOSS CS-80 is a fairly good sounding headset. I have a problem with the deep bass. It seems that the bass reduces the clarity of the song. However, I think the sound is pretty good for the price range. Also, once you get an EQ to reduce the bass the clarity is much better. I did not notice much of a difference concering voices vs my old headphones.

The mic does not seem to be anything that special, but I have not tested it that much. It seems that it does reduce noise. Voice quality reproduction is good, but I do not think it is anything that special.

The biggest problem that I had with this headset is the behind-the-neck design. I have not had any headphones with the behind-the-neck design, so I did not know how they would feel. Although, since the CS-80 are suppose to sound good, I thought a little pain would be a trade-off. When I first tried the headphones they felt great. The problem was after an hour or so the damn things made me want to cut my ears off. I do wear eyeglasses so maybe this is a factor. The pain is so great that it really does not make the sound worth it and is the reason they only get two stars.
