Koss QZ 99

Pros: Great noise reduction, volume knob on ear, dont feel cheap or flimsy

Cons: 40hz on low end... wish they went lower so they had bass

The Bottom Line: Great set of headphones if your not a bass junkie. Saves your ears and reproduces 40hz and up with great clarity.

Review: I recently was on a search for a new set of what I call earmuff type headphones. I started using them for online gaming so that I would hear more of the game sound than ambient real world sounds. I had never thought of it as "noise reduction" but, ...

Pros: Nice sound in mids and highs; they cancel out sound superbly; external volume; coiled chord.

Cons: Too heavy; occasional failure; useless stereo/mono switch; indoor-only; mediocre bass.

Review: Pros: -They block out sound astoundingly well--I believe they were designed for air traffic controllers, which would explain it. They also do so "passively" (meaning the way they are built naturally blocks out sound--rather than "actively," which would ...

Pros: Noise Reduction at about 12 db

Cons: Bulky, uncomfortable while lying down

Review: In my opinion, you can put on the QZ99 and "almost" be completely shut out from outside noises.

These headphones are designed for noisy environments such as an airport or racetrack. They are ideal for someone who has a radio scanner...

Pros: Sturdy, nice sound. Great reduction in noise. Volume control on headphones.

Cons: Heavy, uncomfortable, and they move a lot on my female head!

The Bottom Line: I recommend that if you are looking for something sturdy and well built, but heavy and uncomfortable, then pick these up.

Review: Pros: I purchased these headphones a few months ago in the hopes they would help me escape from reality. They do reduce a very noticeable amount of noise, so much that my husband usually has to walk up to me if I'm listening to something when I have ...
