Quality: These, out of the box, look like $5 headphones from the early 2000's. But do not let looks decieve you. They are the best value in hifi. The build is reassuringly solid with the Teflon coated steel headband and the linguine cable. No complaints at the price at all. Comfort: Out of the box, they are a bit tight on my ears, but with a bit of bending of the headband they fit just fine. I would highly recommend modifying these with a few things I will mention later. Stock they are comfortable enough and I'd say you could wear them for an hour or two. Sound: Out of the box, the sound is very good. To the point that I was more surprised than I expected to be, even after reading many reviews. They have this open characteristic and sound depth that you don't expect from something that looks like this. If I were to describe the stock sound I'd say, slightly warm with a bit of bass bloat and a bit of sibalance. Great for the price for sure. Modified Sound: Now let's talk about replacing the earpads. Get Yaxi pads... just do it... I've switched back to stock a couple times to test. But man, do they really MAKE these headphones. They lose a little bit of the low-end and a bit of the highs. But the overall sound is worth it. What you get is a warm sound that you can listen to for hours without fatigue. I reach for these any time I want to just lay back and listen. Both male and female vocals just sound right with these pads. If you like electronic music, you may be missing something, but for pretty much anything else, you'll love these with Yaxi pads. Modifications: If you're like me, you'll love these for the ability to tinker. I've added a Hundo headband and I'm considering replacing the cable with a balanced mmcx one as well. There is such an aftermarket for these that you will never get bored. The headband makes them even more comfortable. I am also really considering building another set with KSC75 drivers to see what the extra treble does (I'm a beyerdynamic fan so I'm not afraid of the extra brightness). Overall: If you just want a good headphone, get these. If you like to tinker, get these. If you have $1k+ headphones, get these. JUST GET THESE! I cannot stress enough how much I like these headphones and how much they punch above their price. And if you like the sound, get into modding them. Yaxi pads will make these into something you'll reach for over WAY more expensive sets, trust me... Review: Great Koss sound! Found the perfect cable extension. - I wanted a lightweight & comfortable, affordable, yet great-sounding pair of on-hear headphones to sit at my desk (not travel) with. Fortunately, Koss came up in one of my many searches and I suddenly remembered my very first pair of headphones for my very first stereo back in the late 70's. They surprisingly blew away all the competition back then, even Pioneer, Panasonic and Sony headphones. Sounded like you were right in the concert hall! So I looked at all the latest offerings by Koss, and really appreciated the long review for this pair by the top reviewer 'Ender'—comparing different models of Koss & other headphones. (I don't have time to be an audiophile, I just want to enjoy my music collection in iTunes while sitting at the computer). I immediately ordered these headphones. I knew I would also want to extend the cable, but waited until after they arrived to see the size and types of plugs they were fitted with. (The Q&A for this product in regard to that was too technical & confusing to follow.) These headphone did not disappoint! They have that great Koss sound, with a comfortable lightweight band on my head, which gratefully doesn't get snagged in my thick curly hair. Don't let the appearance of the thin foam earpads fool you— they are comfy, secured well and transmit the audio clearly. (UPDATE: I had initially tried adding a pair of Yaxi pads as suggested by another helpful reviewer, but those would not stay on, and were so thick the sound was being muffled. Stick with the OEM earpads!) Next up was to find a longer extension cable that fit. Curious that Koss doesn't offer anything—even on their website. I first noted that the tip that plugs into the cable that is permanently attached to the headphones is 2.5mm (male) and the other plug that goes into your computer, music device, etc. is 3.5mm (thicker plug), also male. Then I had to learn the difference between TRRS (3 black rings on the tip of the plug) and TRS (2 black rings). So the search was on for a quality extension cable with a 2.5mm male TRRS plug and a 3.5mm male TRS plug—which is exactly what these headphones require. I found only one such cable on desertcart—ASIN: B08MX53T1T and took a chance despite the ridiculous product name. Turns out it is of solid build and does not diminish the sound quality of these Koss headphones. Total length of combined straight & coiled cord is 51 inches, not stretched. Minimal upgrade costs and these headphones are customized for my comfort & listening pleasure! I recommend all of these parts, but probably not as a mobile on-the-go setup—I'm not sure the headphones would hold up to that, they seem too fragile for traveling with. (The extension cable would certainly hold up, though.) Enjoy, and I hope this helped! ## Features - Open-Back, On-Ear Design, Retro Look - Audiophile Sound Performance - Soft, Foam Ear Cushions - 3.5mm Utility Cord Included - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BV34NDQX | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Exercising, Running | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,130 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #140 in On-Ear Headphones #396 in Earbud & In-Ear Headphones | | Brand Name | Koss | | Built-In Media | Headphone, 3.5mm Cord | | Cable Features | Detachable | | Color | Rhythm Beige | | Compatible Devices | Devices with 3.5mm, USB-C, or Lightning ports | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Media Control | | Controller Type | Wired | | Customer Package Type | Rigid/Cushioned Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,347) | | Earpiece Shape | On Ear | | Enclosure Material | Stainless Steel | | Frequency Range | 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz | | Headphone Folding Features | On Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | On Ear | | Item Weight | 0.1 kg | | Manufacturer | Koss Corporation | | Model Name | KPH40 Utility Parent | | Model Number | KPH40 Utility Parent | | Noise Control | None | | Number of Items | 1 | | Series Number | 40 | | Specific Uses For Product | Music | | Style Name | Retro | | Theme | Retro-Tech | | UPC | 021299197585 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Koss - **Color:** Rhythm Beige - **Ear Placement:** On Ear - **Form Factor:** On Ear - **Noise Control:** None ## Images ![KPH40 Utility On-Ear Headphones, Rhythm Beige, Interchangeable Cord - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-gtrYICmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Value in Hi-Fi *by M***. on May 17, 2024* TLDR: How does a product at such a low price point sound THIS good?!?!

If you ended up here after watching a glowing review by a tech influencer stating that these compete with $200 cans, you will probably be disappointed. They just don't, especially if you appreciate strong bass. Detail in the mids and highs are outstanding; no notes. Crisp, sparkly, but not fatiguing. The low end lacks any 'oomph.' I suppose that is mostly to do with how open they are. There is none of the sound pressure you feel from over-the-ear sets. If you try to force them with EQ, you get a ton of distortion. Their comfort is amazing. That is what you get in the trade for the bass, and I think the compromise is a fair one in the right usage case. I forget that I'm wearing these. They're a dream. Getting them adjusted properly is a bit fidgety, but it can be done. They're so light, the clamp force is just right, and the ear pads are soft & breathable. No noise cancellation to speak of; you will be very aware of your surroundings. Whether that is a positive or negative is up to you. Avoid using at high volumes in quiet public places, sound bleeding is significant; don't be *that* person. These are great for casual listening. Teleconferencing. I think they would be amazing for gaming. I have headphones that sound better for not a lot more money, but they're big, hot, and uncomfortable. I reach for the Koss KPH40 far more often. They are not "the best headphones under $200!!!!," but they may be the best for you during most points of the day. ## Frequently Bought Together - Koss KPH40 Utility On-Ear Headphones, Detachable Interchangeable Cord System, Ultra Lightweight Design (Rhythm Beige) - YAXI EARPADS for Koss PORTAPRO (Orange) - YAXI EARPADS for Koss PORTAPRO 1Pair (Green) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/517083371-kph40-utility-on-ear-headphones-rhythm-beige-interchangeable-cord](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/517083371-kph40-utility-on-ear-headphones-rhythm-beige-interchangeable-cord) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
