I understand that these were a popular favourite way back then and that Koss were one of the top, if not THE top, headphone manufacturers of the time.
They are mint condition and I plugged them into my Sony Walkman NWZ's and am currently listening to Cream's White Room on them! THEY SOUND GREAT!! LMAO!
Hmm I wonder if classic headphones can become antique and collectable?! Hehehe!
But then I also wonder what I would have to spend today to get a BETTER sound while being just as reliable?!?!
This is why I have lambasted many headphones lately costing anywhere between £80 to £350 for their absolutely fragile and faulty manufacture. These Koss were around £60 to £80 back then and the Jeklyn Float were about £150, though I loved that Doctor Who Cyberman like design of the Floats.
My brother bought there many years ago and ended up with Jeklyn Float Headphones and I inherited these. Did not know a great deal about them or other headphones at the time but I loved them and have had these since before my daughter was born who is a few months away from 20 years of age!
I had to give them a bit of a wipe down as they have been gathering dust for several years and I can see fron the photos below I missed some of the dust, plus the hair and dust on the headband?! LOL. Every part of these are present and correct and even the leather is tip-top.
If you still have them, don't send them for repair to Koss under warranty. I did and they replaced them with some so called comparable pair. They suck. TNT/88 were the best phones I ever HAD.
