I broke my good KOSS headphones and because they don't know how to label their headphones, I can't get a replacement. I'm wondering if anyone has tried these:

I really wasn't looking for like a super $70 set of headphones, just something I could hear close to my ears that gives me an accurate sense of balance.

If not, can you recommend me some that you use?

Those look very uncomfortable, and you don't want to grab a set of headphones that doesn't list the frequency range.

I've had these ones for about 6 months. I used them in school, collapsed them, and carried them in my bookbag. They have taken a helluva beating and haven't given me any problems. They've been thrown on the floor and brutally ripped out of the jack on accident several times. I use them with an extension cable to play Xbox at about a 20 foot distance from the TV. They've got a great frequency response. I recommend them. But I didn't get mine on Amazon, I got them at Circuit City before they went out of business last year. I wouldn't recommend having anything valuable shipped from Amazon, they have a tendency to break things. At least when they send to me. :(

thats really not what I was looking for, and the point it moot since Koss will let me replace the headphones for $6. not bad, not great, but not bad.

Are you just looking for cheap headphones for your walkman?

Fuck, just go to a thrift store, I bet you can find a pair for a couple bucks.

No, I was looking for near identical headphones to the ones I mixed with, as I got great response out of it.

Do remember we have an Amazon store, if you're going to buy through them:

Actually, this is news to me. I only see one headphone set and its... $115.00.

I'm not going to be able to afford that. Thanks anyway, David.

If you use the link that djp provided, anything you buy from Amazon will support OCR, not just the stuff that initially pops up. On the right side of the screen, select category "Electronics" then search for "Headphones" and you should find a big selection.

Oh, I didn't know that. Sure as fucking hell I'll do that from now. :)
