Koss KPH14W Side Firing Headphone (White)

Fit in the ear nicely around my Tragus piercing without hurting it and fit nicely around my head. Great buy!

The headband does not fit correctly on my head. It was too tight and I needed to stretch it, after sticking the headband in hot water to soten it a bit.

I use these headphones on my daily 7 miles hike and they are very good and have kept on going through heavy horizontal rain.I use Koss headphones in the broadcast industry so that's why I purchased these.They need a couple of weeks to break in but as long as you don't listen to music at ear deafening volume you'll get good results with them.They aren't as good as the porta pro headphones but they are weather proof.I would say that these Koss headphones are about the same as the old sony mega bass headphones of the 80s & 90s that you used to get with walkmans.

Edit: headband snapped within 1 month. Beware that if you order this item from the UK Amazon will insist you make your own arrangements to return it from the UK to the USA in order to get a refund... Which is ridiculous for something that cost £10!For a long time, I've been looking for some headphones to wear whilst running (mainly for treadmill use). When looking for "sports" headphones, the budget choice is pretty much limited to the designs which either sit in your ear, or clip over your ear. Having tried a lot of these, I found they were all uncomfortable and kept slipping out of position once I'd been running for more than 30 minutes. So what about these Koss headphones? Not that many years ago, dozens of companies produced in-ear headphones with a headband. But now it seems there's just a handful of manufacturers left. So much so that to get these, I (as a UK customer) had to order them from Amazon USA. For running, this style of headphone is perfect. They're comfortable and stay put - even when you work up a sweat - which is about as much as you can ask for, especially for such a small outlay. Time will tell just how durable and sweat proof they are, but after a few runs they seem fine.

Not as comfortable (but not as expensive) as the Sony equivalent.

Used when on the treadmill and static cycle.

These headphones are excellent. Every bit as good as the Sony headset it replaces. I don't know if the wires are any stronger, but the sound is brilliant, and, although I am slightly deaf, I can hear in stereo again with these.

Not too bad for the price but not as good as the old Sony in-ear headphones
