 I didn't know what music was... September 25, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
...until I discovered these babies. One day I was in town listening to my old but great Sony radio and the pair of cans that came with it just went out. Man, I thought. I didn't even get to hear the end of "Sir Mix A Lot - Baby Got Back." Well, after I recovered from that humongous shock, I noticed that I was beside a Radio Shack - the coolest place in the whole entire world. After telling 3 workers that I was just looking and didn't need help, I found these headphones. They were up on the front counter with a little tag that said they were half price. Well, that was just super-dee-duper, and I went ahead and bought them. Now, I was hoping that these would be pretty good since they had "Titanium" written on the side, and anything that has a big word on the side has to be good, right? Well, I was right.
I had been used to listening to music with the supplied headphones of the player that I bought. I never imagined that it could sound as good as this. I didn't want to say it because you all might not take me very seriously, but, who cares - ... I had never actually bought a good pair of headphones. Even if there are better headphones out there, my friend from school who bought a pair of fifty dollar headphones for his computer said these are better. After listening to his pair, I had to agree.
I have only had a couple of bad experiences with these. They broke after a week or two of use. Now don't go and start looking for a different pair thinking that these are flimsy, because I went right back to radio Shack and got a new pair. I have had this new pair for way over 2 years, and they are still going strong. I suppose that pair was just a bad apple or something. It's not that I couldn't afford to buy a new pair for 2 years - it's that I didn't need to. That is how good these are. The second problem is that they kinda hurt if I wore them for a while. I have glasses, so maybe that was the problem, but after a while, I could wear them without even noticing them. And the final problem is with the volume control. After a while of use, it can start kind of messing with the balance, ie. fading from one ear to the other. This has happened from ever pair of cans I've ever used with a volume control, so it was no biggie. If you leave it on the Max volume, it probably won't mess up. Keep in mind, this fading only happens when you are moving the control, not when it is stationary.
Aside from these very minor gripes, this is the best pair of headphones I have ever used. And I will keep on using them, just not as frequently, because I'm investing a large sum of money on the Sony MDR-EX70LP earbuds. I have gotten to like the convenience of having a pair of headphones in my pocket at school, and being able to unwind them and listen to them whenever. Please, consider these, because I assure you that they will provide you with probably 2 years or more of listening joy. ...

Great sound, price August 15, 2002
Great full range sound, comfortable headband, good design, low distortion, high efficiency. What more do you want? A volume control? You got it.

I bought these headphones based on the first couple of reviews I read here. I should have read further, because about two weeks after I purchased the earphones, the left side went out completely. There was nothing obvious on the outside of the unit and I didn't hear any "rattling" as described by other users. The darn things just quit! I must say, however, that the sound quality for those first two weeks was excellent, but all in all, not worth the money and frustration.
The Headphone to compare all others to. April 12, 2002

I have searched and searched and searched for a pair of portable headphones that sound as good as these with lots of failure. IMO, you cannot beat the sound of a set of "over-the-head" headphones. I have tried all styles: earbuds, behind the neck, clips, even the ear plugs. Nothing gives the sound and comfort of the KTX Pros (granted, I have never tried the sportapros or portapros, but from what I have read, they are the same headphone. Except they are UGLY!). The KTX Pros have both great lows and great highs. Plus, you can't beat that price.
