Can't go wrong for the price! 
2008-03-29
You can't do much better than this for the price... this is what I come to expect in the $20-35 dollar range, and I've bought some in that range that are significantly worse.
I give these five stars simply because of performance vs. price or 2 based on performance (1 would be unusable bad).
The earbuds aren't as bad as people say either... but they're still earbuds.
Beat To Death And Still Running 2006-06-09
I've had mine for a few years now, and I have beaten mine to death...but it still sounds great. I've taken my TD-61 out camping, boating, on vacations, and even use it at work every work day (computer stuff). They're comfortable over my eye glasses even after hours of listening and escaping at my desk. I own a more expensive USB SENNHEISER PC165 headset for gaming, but the comfort doesnt compare and bang for the buck the TD-61 is really a nicer headset. I've had some mid-end Sony headphones before, but they just didn't feel comfortable with my eye glasses. I've destroyed my existing pair of TD-61's cosmetically (of my own doing) one way or another. One side of the headset is rigged with cable ties, and the other with velcro ties..heh. :) About a year ago, I accidentally got my cable caught up with my desk chair and ripped my left ear cable loose when I started walking off with them on. I forgot I had them on (um, duh!) It took 3 minutes to warm up the sodder gun and re-attach it. It disassembles without the need for tools. Though I love this pair, I guess its time to reorder a new set for work so that I don't remind people of eye glasses with tape in the middle...I suppose I'll use these in my garage,...(Side note, listening with them now, while righting this review)
Couldn't be more pleased 2006-03-27
I believe I spent a relatively low amount for these, and they've been very good to me. I've never had a problem with them, even with the four or five years I've had them.
The sound is perfect and the ear padding is great.
I don't think anyone would regret buying these; I know I haven't.
worn out earpadding? 2005-04-08
ive had my td61's for 3+ years now. the ear pads are starting to wear, but the sound is still there and it functions completely fine. if you have the same problem the koss website, koss.com, has replacement pads for 5 bucks. a good option rather than buying new ones.
Beautiful headphones with some kinks 
2004-12-27
i loved these headphones when i got them and i used them for about 7 months till natrually a kid kicked my backpack at school and severly damaged the "case" the speakers are held in. I found that these headphones have great speakers in them with great clarity in bass and treble. But the slight design flaw in them makes them easy to break the "case" when hit. One other thing that bothered me about these headphones is the wire is very slim and easy to damage especially because its 8 feet long. Personally yes i will buy a new pair of Koss headphones because of this great experience with their work but im still undecided wether it was just bad luck that made the case on mine break or it really was a design flaw and i was asking for it. They are made for home use so i probably had it coming to me using them as my regular headphones everywhere i went.
Worth 5 Times The Price! 2004-10-12
Koss TD-61 Stereo Headphones deliver the serious music sounds your ears will love. You get a full frequency response of 25-15, 000 Hz, perfect for home listening to LPs or cassettes. The phones also feature a closed-ear design and pivoted earcups for added comfort of the leatherette padding. You even get a 1/4-inch adapter to convert the elbowed 1/8-inch mini-jack into a home audio-ready connector. All this, plus a coiled, dual-entry cord provide added tangle-free convenience.
Good while it lasts... 
2004-08-18
Even though these headphones aren't aesthetically perfect and this model doesn't even exist anymore in most stores, I bought them on amazon because of the great reviews and the cheap price ($15.00).
They were very efficient during the first 8 months or so, but now, even though I have always been very careful with them, no more sound comes through to my ears. You would expect Koss would make better quality products. I am now seeking to get a new pair through the warranty.
About as bad as it gets 
2004-03-18
I got these headphones today and they are very very bad. They omit the whole top end of the audio spectrum, i.e. almost no treble whatsoever. The bass is way too strong as well, so all-in-all they provide a completely unbalanced sound. Anyone who thinks these sound good must have no idea what a good set of headphones sound like, and is to be pitied. I bought them knowing they were cheap but I didn't expect them to be quite this bad. Back they go, if I can manage it!
Koss Headphones 2004-01-16
I was really quite impressed with the quality of this purchase. I received within 4 days of which it was sent. There were some setbacks though. The portable headphones that came with the main headphones worked only on one side, and the case didn't wind well, but what do you expect? But for the large set of headphones the sound was superb. And the extension was useful on our piano. I would advise anybody with a low price span to by these headphones.
How can I say this? 2003-11-25
These headphones are the best headphones in the entire world! I'm a hearing impaired kid and these work great for me too. That should give you an idea of how good the quality is. Sure, you can buy the more expensive and "cooler" looking headphones for many, many more dollars, but you'll be missing the deal of your lifetime! I wish I could only do something about the 8 - foot cord that comes with it. Sometimes it gets a little tangled up... But don't let this discourage you! DO buy this headphones. DON'T buy the other headphones.
