Koss SP330 are premium on-ear headphones with a price tag to match

2015-03-27
there's a lot of competition in the 120 dollar headphone market but these honors have a great neutral sound that works for listening on your phone or at home hey it's Justin from CNET this is a first look at the cost SP 330 on ear headphones so these are on ear headphones again meaning the ear pads sit directly on top of your ears that's as opposed to the kind that wrap around them now the pads themselves are made of soft memory foam that feels pretty similar in comfort to the boson ears except the cushioning that rests on top of your head can feel a little constricting after a while so be sure to try these on at the store before you buy them so one thing I didn't like about these headphones is that they don't include a lot of the mobile friendly accessories usually see they come with a durable nylon carrying case but the headphones don't fold in so it almost feels like a full sized headphone when you have it in your bag I was also a little surprised at the lack of an extra cable with a remote and microphone to control tracks and make phone calls that's almost standard these days even with headphones well under $100 now in terms of sound quality these aren't going to blow you away with their deep bass levels instead these headphones have a very flat frequency response so you can expect your music to come across with a very present natural feel to it remember these are not active noise-cancelling headphones but they do pretty well with isolation regardless now with a retail price of a hundred thirty bucks it's kind of tough to recommend these headphones over the $150 boson ears which are more travel friendly with a folding headband smart phone ready controls and a more contemporary design by comparison the SP 330s sound just as good powered by the same sources if not a little cleaner but I'll need to see the price drop under a hundred bucks before these headphones really stand out you can read more comparisons and details of my full review on SEANET but that's going to do it for this video I'm Justin you you just took a first look at the cost SP 330 on ear headphones thanks for watching
