Koss QZ-99 Noise Reduction Stereophone, Standard Packaging,Black

In 20 or so years of playing music, I’ve gone through a lot of headphones. I’ve usually been ok with them, nothing really to write home about. They make the noise go into my ears and keep the noises I don’t want in, out. I had the Vic Firth version of these and, while my melon is obnoxiously large, they still fit tight. They sounded fine, nice and flat but good quality and kept the noise out. These Koss cans? Blows the Vic Firths out of the water. The volume control is awesome, the cable length is perfect, comes with a spare 1/4” adapter, the sound is nice and flat but still vibrant and good for critical listening, the squishy bit on the bottom of the head band is awesome (it’ll be sad when that dies in a few years) and the muffs fit snug, as well as the noise reduction being that perfect split between cutting the harsh while still letting the wearer hear the important stuff. Its still a smidge right but the squish and ear cups mitigate that a lot and allow me to keep them on for a while practice without whining. I may end up getting another pair just in case these die before their time.

Wow, just WoW! .. These are like the ear protection we used in the military.. we called them micky mouse ears.. they were hard plastic cups that encased the ears with sound silencing materials lining the inside. If you combined micky mouse ears with the little plastic insert ear plugs you became effectively deaf.. well tehse headphones are like mickey mouse ears with speakers installed. They passivly block external sounds thru extremely effective sound silencing. and the audio is not bad either. the cable is curly so it does not get caught up in my chair's wheels or drag on the floor.. yet it has the reach where i can stand up and move around the room a bit so i love the cord.. love the headphones.. the ONLY draw back is they do put some pressure on your head. and being a bit airtight you might sweat in a hot environment. bottom line is tho i have found the love of my life when it comes to headphones. I really like these headphones, they are high quality construction. They sound great too but i'm no sound expert. They are over the ear.. except they rest on the bottom of my earlobes.. update: july 2015, well the adustable volume makes the left ear drop out.. you have to spin the volume back and forth like your wearing thru the corrosion on the resistor parts so it gets a good connection. The wires are solid.. the connections are solid.. I believe this intermittant left ear connection is in the variable resistor itself.. not in a faulty wire or connection. So sadly we go from a 5 to something less due to they used a cheap part.. which cheapened what would otherwise be a first class product. I know this product is discontinued so perhaps this was why. bottom line is the left ear is dropping out and i have to mess with the volume knob to restore the left ear sounds. i might try the upgraded version of this and pray they aren't using the same part that is failing here.

The Koss QZ-99 headphones are excellent. They're built like a Russian dump truck. The quality sound reproduction is outstanding!! These over the ear headphonesare great at "locking out" extraneous noises. They do this not through electronic noise cancellation, but through "ear protector" technology. That is, they are like industrial ear muffs with sound. They fit snug on your ears, and block out annoying outside noise. I bought mine for business use. I'm a private investigator, and use them to listen to recorded statements etc. Often these recordings are made under far less than optimal conditions (in restaurants/vehicles etc with lots of background noise). I bought these headphones so that I could focus closely on the recordings. One mis-interpreted word in a transcription of a recorded statement can have MAJOR detrimental effects! These headphones fit the bill. I love them! I also use them for music and watching movies. They have a built-in volume switch, and can be switched from mono to stereo with a built-in line switch. I recently flew on a commercial airline flight with hese headphones, and they made the flight much more enjoyable. The headphones blocked most of the cabin noise and allowed me to watch a DVD inflight. These headphones aren't for everyone. If you're looking for a wimpy little headset that you can stuff in your jacket pocket, look elsewhere! If you're looking for a pair of heavy-duty headphones that will block out outside noise, have much better sound reproduction than you'd expect, and want excellent value for money, these are for you! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine! My direct email is: [email protected].

totalmente inmersivo, si necesitas estar pendiente de algun sonido exterior mejor usa ota cosa. Te sumerge y bloquea todos los sonidos exteriores. Aprietan un poco la cabeza, si eres muy sensible o cabezón busca otra opción.

Vou ser sincero,não criei muita expectativa mas me surpreeendeu. Isolamento absurdo pra tocar bateria, a nível vic firth pela metade do preço

Got it for my metal detector, very nice quality of structure. I use it 4-6 hours in a row, a bit heavy, but i don't feel any pressure on my head or fatigue. For those who wants to use it as a music headphones, first - check if your player device will be able to handle its 60 homs, if your devise has no equalizer probably you not gonna be happy ;-) My mac plays great, no issues at all. I never go over 60-70% of the volume level. Everything that KOSS published at an official web-page meets with what i've got. So, i would recommend it, but only if you know how to use it.

Im Amateurfunk gibt es Situationen, wo man a.) einen stabilen Kopfhörer braucht und der b.) wenn möglich, die Umgebungsgeräusche so gut wie möglich dämpft. Beides erfüllt der QZ-99 von Koss optimal. Zur beachtung: der QZ-99 ist ein 'heavy-duty' Modell. Für kleine MP3 Player zwar durchaus technisch anschliessbar, der Einsatz ist aber eher für andere Situationen gedacht.

Loved it
