Review: These headphones punch way above their weight. - The Koss KPH30iK are incredible for around $30. They’re super lightweight, comfortable for long listening sessions, and have a simple, clean look that doesn’t feel cheap. Sound quality is where they really stand out. They have a warm, balanced tuning with fuller bass than you’d expect from an open on-ear design. Mids are clear and natural, making vocals sound especially good, and the treble is smooth and easy. They sound open and lively, not thin or compressed, and easily outperform many headphones that cost significantly more. Build quality is basic but smart. The lightweight plastic construction keeps them comfortable, and while they don’t feel premium, they also don’t feel fragile. If you want great sound on a tight budget, these are an easy recommendation. A true classic from Koss and one of the best values in headphones. On a side note, I would also recommend the Koss Potra Pros.
Review: I am in love with these - While I wouldn't classify myself as being an audio snob, I do have decent collection of various headphones (some are good, some are meh), which include but are not limited to the Sennheiser HD598 & HD700, Epos G6 Pro, HE400se, V-Moda Crossfade Wireless and two generations of Skullcandy Crushers (1st + Evo). Most of my wired audio is hooked up to the Sennheiser GSX 1000 DAC/AMP, nothing fancy but geared towards computer use (Music, Gaming and productivity use). The Koss KPH30i headphones are by far one of my favorite. I'd put them up their with my Sennheiser HD598s in terms of sound, not the same but they hit in the same general ball park. If I had to explain the difference between the two, the Senns are more punchy and warm, while the Koss headphones are buttery smooth and warm. They work extremely well for gaming with the GSX 1000's virtual surround, and for music the audio just melts into your ears assuming its the right genre. I'm talking about new retrowave and anything with a bit of synth in it. Lo-fi is great. 80s Metal works well. In fact almost everything from the 80s will sound awesome. Some examples include Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, Wang Chung's Dance Hall Days, Duran Duran's Rio, Oingo Boingo's Weird Science and Billy Idol's White Wedding to name a few. Comfort wise, they are so light I forget that I am wearing them. Default pads are uncomfortable, so I highly recommend slapping some Yaxi pads on them OR Grado G cushions. In short, I highly recommend these. They are not going to be the best headphone money can buy, but they will hit well above their weight class, so much so I find myself wearing using them more than any of the other headphones I have on hand. If I was in the market for a pair of Sennheiser open backs, I would buy these first as they get you close to that territory for very little money, and more importantly they are addictingly fun. They lose a bit of detail, but offer up a buttery smooth experience that is both warm and slightly intimate. Note: The headband is not the most sturdy. It will probably break at some point. If that happens, or the wire goes out, before you chuck them in the trash remember you can replace the headband and even mod the cables to be detachable. Its extremely easy and cheap to do, and there is a ton of content available showing how to do this. These are heavily moddable headphones.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these have the same drivers as the Portapro?**
A: I was told by the customer service department at Koss that these are indeed the exact same drivers as the PortaPro and SportaPro. Interestingly, that same person told me that the best driver they make are the ones in the KTXPro1, which is identical to these but with a titanium coated diaphragm for added stiffness. From what I can hear, they all sound identical.

**Q: So I can answer phone calls with this if it's connected to my phone correct?**
A: Yes, and it works great.  I have read that some people have problems using these with "i" devices, but they work great with my Android (LG G6).  If you get a call just push the button to answer and again to hang up.  For music you can use this to pause (single tap) or go to next track (2 clicks).  I get no complaints from callers regarding the quality of the microphone.

**Q: Will these work with PS4 plugged into the controller with the mic?**
A: My son has been using it for that purpose so I guess it would work.

**Q: Can I use to make phone calls on my android phone?**
A: Great mic for making calls with Android.  I know that people with "i" devices are having issues, but calling and using the button functions work great with my LG G6.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great headphone, perfect sound, bad quality plastic!!!!
*by J***C on January 27, 2022*

This headphone is difficult to review, because i love it so much. Pros: 1. the sound is amazing for the money, i have paid for headphone costing 5x as much but don't sound as good. 2. the clamp force is perfect, i used it for hours, no issues at all, i can use this all day gaming and listening to music. 3. come with its own mic, which is a feature often overlooked. Cons: 1. quality is just terrible, cheap plastic headband, in fact this is my second pair, i purchased one from DROP just a few month ago, and the headband, broke in 3 places just from normal daily use. no abuse, no drop, it broke from just putting it on and taking it off. 2. no detachable wire, after another few weeks of using the broken headband khp30, the wire broke as well, i finally had to trash it, because left ear no longer produce sound. 3. you can forget about noise cancellation, this should be used at home in a quiet place to enjoy your game, movie, music. otherwise you will hear everything inside the house and outside. Conclusion: I so wanna give this a 3 star because of the poor quality, but i just love the sound and comfort too much. 4 starts it is. i think this could be a great headphone, if Koss just spend a little bit more money and improve on the quality on the parts used to make this headphone. i don't mind paying $5 to $10 more. the headband should be enforced with METAL, also make the wire detachable. i hate to buy a 3rd one, i love the sound and comfort, but i am afraid this new pair will break within 6 month as well.
