KOSS KPH30i⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ _(Z Reviews)_ 

Glad you enjoy the KPH30i, let us know if you need more you've got our email, we'll send you cases of them. Appreciate the love!

At least Z didn't make me spend over $100 this time, right? Gotta look at the positives.

0:05 Z: "fuck you koss" Koss: "we appreciate the love!"

You had me at, "FU Koss". I immediately thought, "Where's my wallet?"

I bought these. I pulled them out of the box and listened to them. Everything Zeos said was true. I went into the bedroom where my BF was doing art, he had a pair of Skullcandy crushers on. I was like "You're going to laugh at me. But these will sound better than those." He looked at me like I was fucking crazy, insane. I laughed and said "Im not joking literally try them" He looked at me, and then back at the Skullcandy and was like no fucking way. He put them on, listened for about 30 seconds. Handed me his old skullcandy headphones and was like "You can have those, I'm keeping these" He legit couldn't believe how good they sounded. (I know Skullcandy's aren't great but to go from a line that advertises bass and music to the KPH30i's as far as aestethics its just not the same lol) He's used em every day since.

Would buy one if I didn't have enough already from watching these videos. I thought watching youtube was free.

I got about 11 minutes into the video before I went straight to Amazon and bought some. I'm gonna have fun explaining to all my friends why I always wear headphones that look like they lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis

2:05 "If you got more gold teeth than white teeth, get the golden ones!" Koss should write that on their packaging.

Aight the Aeolus are sold time to get my new endgame

Does anyone else get kicks out of rewatching Zeos' reviews of headphones whilst wearing the same headphones

Ok I will buy these..

So, today I've got my KPH30i. I listen to it carefully on a couple of good DAC/amps with my headphone testing list. Then, I look back to my wall decorated with Audio-Technica ATH-M40x (pad modded), Sennheiser HD280pro (new model), Sennheiser HD579, Yamaha MT5, Philips SHP9500, Grado SR80e, CM MH-752, Koss Porta Pro, Koss KSC75, KZ ZSN Pro... and I have this moment of clarity... Why? Do I need those? Why they don't sound as good as this ugly ass $30 plastic thingy? Thanks for your honest review and recommendation dude. But now I am happy and depressed at the same time (weird feelings). I am using the KPH30i with my FiiO BTR5 for everything and wondering the meaning of even having anything else... :(

One of the best ive ever tried and have hp for up to 1800 usd. One of the best.

IMPORTANT: Let them burn in. Got them and gave them away to my dad, as i thought they sounded awful. tried them a few weeks after he used them, and was blown away!

Hey guys, I've had these for months and always felt the low end was muddy. Last night, I tried to find out what their frequency response is, to attempt some corrective eq-ing, using REW. Now, I did not succeed, since the mic I used is rubbish BUT it looks like a few loud sweeps cleared up the lows, somehow. If yours sound not so clear, you might want to give this process a try. I really love the low end now.

I’ve been using AD1000Xs and R70Xs, but decided to get these because of this review. I find the bass to be kind of mushy, resulting in decreased clarity, but somehow vocals actually sound amazing, and at the price point there really isn’t anything to complain about these headphones. And I agree with Z on the idea that having tried many higher end headphones actually help appreciate these Koss cans more. If I were to put these on 10-year-ago me with almost no experience with better headphones I probably wouldn’t have felt anything special. These cans are pretty warm to my ears so I find a colder sounding dac/amp working pretty well with it. The way they sound reminds me of my R70Xs actually: they don’t have anything in particular that makes you go wow when listening, but they sound natural and just work. Then after enjoying your music for a while, you remind yourself of the price - that’s when you go WOW.

Okay, what the actual "F" Koss. Z is right; these headphones are super jank looking and feeling, but they sound amazing. I bought these as a joke - I mean, just look at them. The Z hype level was at an all-time high. So I thought, why not. At worse, I spent a few bucks, and I give them to my son. These are the "sleeper car" of headphones.

Zeos says "PERFECT, BUY". He only says this 4 times a week. Good luck with your wallet.

Gawd damn my KPH30i finally arrived after ages of waiting (Drop). When I put this on the first thing someone said was "Did you steal that from the library?" Me: Bruh

Thank you for this video. I had a Koss Porta Pro 11 years ago, and that was legendary for its price-point. Sadly I lost it later on, but am really glad I found this review! My new KPH30i needed a little bit of breaking-in, it wears comfortably over time and I really LOVE the warmth and balance of this. Thank you!

This review + $10 off Prime Day broke my resolve.

Koss made headphones for Radio Shack years ago and I loved them.

I bought these because of you! Was really impressed by the sound! Super light and comfortable. The wire is my only gripe feels a bit cheap. They make songs dynamic range feel bigger. The bass is strong but not over powering. Glad I found your channel!

Just got them today and they sound amazing, great separation and frequency response. They are almost as good as my B&W P5's but I don't feel like someone will steal them off my head.

Watching the KPH30i review while listening on my KPH30i. 😄

ended up buying a pair to walk around on campus, definitely a lot more than i expected, the bass Jean Grae's "Threat" has such a bass response that it feels like the floor is dropping a little every time it hits.

after watching this video i ordered my kph30i´s they arrived yesterday and i gotta say instantly blown away by the sound and comfort. Thank you Z for this awesome recommendation !

For new owners, you can tweak the sound with the Kramer mod - remove the ear pads, and gently pry the plastic cover off the diaphragm. Drill 4 small holes in the outer ring to improve the bass, 4 holes in the mid ring to improve the mids, 1 hole in the center to improve the treble.

just got them from massdrop a couple of days ago after I've seen your review, and I love them the KSC-75 were damn good already, but man these are even better It's insane the sound quality you get for so little money, Koss are absolute wizards when it comes to cheap headphones

They're on drop again for $20. Ordered two pairs, finally!

Had these for a long time... Z is underselling these headphones!!

Got 'em yesterday dropped shipped to the Amazon 4 Star store. The first song sounded a bit funny, but keep getting better minute by minute. 20 songs later I was like, "yeah, I get it now." These things are damn good. They just made the whole market look kinda silly. I can't see buying anything else unless you absolutely need ANC closed-back or reference studio level headsets. Or maybe a bass heavy pair, but for casual listening, this is perfect.

Just ordered them. Ive heard these were amazing but I never bought them because I have ksc-75s. Koss makes so many different headphones...

I got the beige KPH30i from Amazon, yesterday. I'm using them with my AudioQuest Dragonfly USB dac. Amazing little sound system for my tablet, laptop and phone!!

Thanks for this review 👍 never would I have imagined.

So I got theese. They're really good! Out of box they're a bit muddy, but once clamp force weakens a bit sound becomes clearer. It's warm and "delicious" sounding headphone. That silicone comfort strap is excellent idea, very comfy. I keep these around speaker while not in use so clamp gets broken in. Faster way could be by heating the headband while stretching it. Very well done KOSS and Thanks Zeos for this convincing review!

I love these phones! My pair ripped apart at where the driver meets the headband, though. About to send them back under Koss's lifetime warranty! I LOVE KOSS

I'm starting to firmly believe these were tuned exclusively for 80's synthwave music 😂 They're astounding to say the least. Every single person I've thrown my pair on has asked how much these Kosst (ha) and then been shook when I told them 😂

I got a pair of these after this review. The sound iz amazing! they are a little hard on my head. Thank you Zeos!

thank you for the review, just bought a pair now!

The foam pads are held in with clasps. Remove those and you'll find they are EXACTLY porta pro drivers and there is a foam insert behind the driver. Removing those makes these basically porta pros in sound.

Alright zeos it's been two weeks. Never should have doubted you their probably my favorite headphone of all time and my first into open backs. Yes they are a little hard to drive. ""But at full...god the soundstage is orgasmic. Yes the clamp is a little hard and I would like to mod them with softer pads. Still 10/10 - "keep the anime girls coming pls"

I just did this and wow. Thanks for the tip. 11/10 recommend.

omfg you're an absolute legend for playing "the concept of love" from JSRF at 8:41

I was skeptical myself. How can a pair of $30 headphones compare to my HiFiman Sundara's ? But for the price of $30 Bucks, I had to give it a shot. I was actually able to get them through Drop at $21. Z was Right!!! Because they not only compare, they actually exceeded my expectations. I first tried them stand alone through my desktop and was impressed. Then through my Amp and was more impressed. Then through my Dragonfly Cobalt and was Blown Away!!! All BTW Streaming with Tidal. For the lousy 21 bucks I don't think I'll ever buy another high priced headphone again. Thank You Z and Thank You Koss!!!

I liked them so much, I ordered 3 more. Incredible price to performance ratio. Bass, mid range sound really good...the highs are good, too, but did benefit from a treble boost from the Schiit Loki. These surprised me with the quality of imaging and detail. They look cheap but have quality sound. I believe that is a large part of their appeal. I highly recommend them...Zeos found another needle in the haystack!

Well I bought a pair and tested them, and while I didnt have my mind blown they sound really, REALLY bloody good and just totally vanish onto your head. I have doubts about the longevity of the cable, but the sound is absolutely top notch for the pricepoint (and quite a bit higher). Great recommendation!

Hilarious review!! LMFAO!! And I know why you're so f-----g excited. I feel the same way about my Koss KSC75's with headband mod. The sound is awesome. Not just for the price ($16), but even compared to headphones that cost hundreds of dollars. I'm a Koss true believer and will be ordering a set of these KPH30i's. THANK YOU

My kids use these. Little do they know how dad has ruined what they expect from headphones. I like them but move from ear buds to iem to these most weeks. All the other koss stuff has shit wires. I have two 75s and a prtapro with wire issue.

I bought the KPH30i on massdrop early this year i was blown away by the sound ,put them up there with audiophile over ear headphones , i was starting to doubt my listening skills tastes because Zeos had never talked about them lol these sound good with B4 Little bear tube amp.

Just ordered mine today. Can’t wait to try them when they arrive!

Just got my set today! Couldn't believe it man. Thanks for the reference.

Guttenberg blessed these as well in 2017.

I'm late to the party on this, but these headphones are truly outstanding!! Just got a pair and the bass through treble is super smooth........wide sound stage, etc...........thank you KOSS!!

Bought these and I was not disappointed, they even performed better than I expected ! Thanks Z !

just got my pair from amazon today and omg these give my music so much more texture and i can hear stuff in my favorite tracks that i never heard before thanks for this review cause i probly would have never bought these amazing headphones without this video

These are seriously surprisingly amazingly detailed and pleasing head phones. I like them more than my HD 600 and DT 770 and Xelento (IEM) which are several hundred to near thousand dollar headphones and iems. I'm really spechless and on a good amp they sing omg.

These remind me of those pilot headphones that we would get in school for testing

Thanks to this video I bought already 9. 5 gray, 3 blue 1 beige. The perfect gift to people who head music at all.

You convinced me once to buy the m40x with pads and now I just bought these. I think this is the start of a collection.

Just got my pair finally delivered from drop(massdrop), and wow! I used to recommend hifiman re400i for great sound under 100 and now this just kills everything

These are really excellent headphones. I tested them head to head against Neumann NDH-20s and Sennheiser HD700s last night. On the face of it, a totally unfair comparison, but they held their own. More punchy, exciting, and mid-focused than the Senns, with better bass. More overt and...I guess you could say compressed, than the Neumanns. Comfortable. Easy to drive. Fun to listen to. I plan to use them at work, so them being cheap really helps. It appears I finally have a replacement for my aging Sennheiser PX-100s.

What a great review! Of course made me laugh at several times. Just watched this a few days ago and now am listening to this review listening to these. I've been listening to them for about 8 hours. Music, movies and spoken. They sound absolutely amazing! What i have noticed is that if i just try and push them away from my ears the slightest bit i am getting some even better sound. There is a sweet spot there. Total clamp emphasizes mids and bass and seems to dampen treble. Z...other than providing comfort, to the Yaxi pads aid in sonics? I know you mentioned they helped the Porto Pros but not the KSC75's so was curious. When i pull on them just the slightest it seems PERFECT. So it is definitely there. Thanks for the review of these.these.these

Just bought a clear pair of these on Amazon with same-day delivery, can't wait to try them

got it used for 15 usd, good enough i guess. you're right the bass and imaging is the best in under 40 usd, better low end than my AD1000x indeed.

I was ordering these on Amazon and I saw in related items there is a Bluetooth version of the Porta Pro's. Have you tried them?

NICE! Got mine today from Amazon. I had pretty high expectations due to this review, and was not dissapointed. I think Zeos is safe to continue posting his anime babes.

Purchased mine yesterday

I bought some kph30i’s when I watched this video. They came in the mail today Im about to try them they better be good. Edit: just tried them and I am blown away. I listend to “Tomorrow” from Made In Abyss and the sound they can pull off for 30$ is amazing . The trombones in the song sounded perfect compared to my 200$ skellcandy venue headphones. The only downside to these headphones is that the cable is a bit short, highly recomended!

The frequency response curve is basically the same as the KCS75, more or less. They make decent gaming headsets and they have more isolation than the UR40's. Soundstage is also very good, as is the case with most open on-ear headphones.

You and El Jefe reviews just got me to buy the Monoprice Retros. I think I had a set of these as replacements for my original Walkman headphones when the foam disintegrated. Koss's stuff has always been slept on.

I bought five of these from Massdrop when they came up for $20 - just to have them for gifts. I love these things SO MUCH.

Wait until you discover Koss CL-10...

I was wondering why you hadn't reviewed this yet... nice

I just got these today and I'm pretty impressed! My daily drivers are moon drop Arias with Dekoni tips and a Fiio M11. These are very well balanced and I'm really happy to add them to my collection for under $30. Thanks for the great review.

Bought this because of this channel/review. Had to import it from US, but it’s soooooo worth it. It’s... amazing.

So i got these a little under a week ago and I have thoughts. First off, I don't think they're as good as the KSC-75s. Most importantly, they don't sound as good, but they're also much less comfortable to wear for more than like, 20 minutes. They're also more closed, though that's a preference thing. However, despite my initial disappointment, I have discovered a reason to love them: I can listen to the Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze soundtrack. SO BASICALLY, this is an incredible soundtrack and possibly David Wise's greatest to date, but there is so much treble murder, so anything I've ever listened to it on has just killed me. But these, despite not having super recessed treble, are actually perfectly enjoyable all the way through. It gets really close to painful in a few parts, but never quite gets there (and usually I'm wincing at those parts). I still think the low end is a bit over-emphasized and muddled, and so I don't think they're quite as great as you do, but...just that one thing is enough for me to love them at least a little.

I just broke my 2nd koss ksc75 here go the 3rd ones I love them to death

So just received my drop kph30i and these shouldn't sound this good for the price! I love them, thanks for the review.

Got em on the drop! Can’t wait!

Relationship with Focal ended, Koss is now my best friend

F... at this rate, I will never be able to afford the Argons mk 3s, Z we need your opinion/review on some bluetooth headphones like sony xm3, and the new earbuds by sony and sennheisers. I know they are not in audiophile level but we need some good recommendations for the convenience of no wires. EDIT*: I just watched the Bose 700ANC unboxing and heard you mentioning that you also have the sonys in for review!! Always a step ahead. Looking forward for those reviews!

I'm glad you found them. First set I had that made be feel that way were the Koss MAC/5. These seem to be the grandchild of the MAC/5.

So I just got these the other day. I love them! They're a warm and cozy lil headphone for music. Though the clamp does cause the pads to dig into my ear and make them hurt. The clamp will likely reduce overtime so that's fine, and I'll consider getting Yaxi pads too. They will likely replace my SHP9500s as my daily drivers... as soon as I can get a 4-pole extension cable (I have a 3-pole cable but it doesn't work with them well)

Lol I've only been subbed for like 24 hours but I have watched at least 6 hours of videos.

The glorious model O of headphones

Finally these have arrived and I’m honestly so confused and amazed.

Bought them on Amazon after watching this video, and honestly I am not disappointed.

Bought them today. The hype is well justified. Comfort isn't great (clamp & glasses), but the sound... almost like HD 600 with better soundstage and more badass low end.

The KOSS KTXPro1 sounds great and they're $18. They were originally sold as the legendary Radio Shack Pro35a headphones but were manufactured by KOSS. Not the sturdiest headphones KOSS ever made, you need to baby them, but their titanium drivers sound great. Plus, they have inline volume controls.

Is there a such thing as an xlr audio interface with a built in headphone amp or dac?

THE CONCEPT OF LOVE!

Zeos been living under a rock? I ordered a pair of Rythm Beige ones from Massdrop, Oct 26, 2017 at $26.74 according to my purchase history.

There is nothing wrong with liking Wine instead of Beer.

lol... the first line....lol !!!! Z, you are a hilarious dude. keep doing it bro.

My pair arrived today. The bang-for-buck-ratio is off the charts. In fact, I paid so little for these on Massdrop, I didn't even have to pay any import fees.

Zeos fiddling with my wallet again...

I love these headphones. They make me so happy. They ruined all my other headphones though.. including my porta pros .. nothing sounds the same anymore.. these not only sound better but to me they also have less clamp! The porta pro head pads don’t do anything for me really..!

this is why I want to join the patreon... you are great review... you are a tinker and great at telling what's exactly wrong with any headphones

I recently bought these and they have become a daily driver for me. Coming from Wisconsin, I'm a little proud of these, lmao
