 Good for Hi-fi systems, bad for normal use June 11, 2001
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
These stereophones are spectacular when hooked up to Hi-fi systems. Very good sound. However, if you are planning to use these stereophones with a 1/4 inch to miniplug adapter so you can use it with a computer or portable stereo system then these stereophones will sound like they have lost their voice. I prefer my Koss TD/61 stereophones to these Koss Pro 4/AA stereophones when it comes to hooking them up to my computer or portable stereo. Even better than the TD/61 stereophones are the TD/80 stereophones for miniplug systems just in case you are curious.
 My two cents on the Koss Pro-4AA Stereophones September 3, 2003
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I originally chose the Koss Pro-4AA stereophones because of the great price and the large frequency range. Now that I use them every day in my home studio, I thought someone might be interested in why I only gave it 3 stars out of 5. First, the headphones need adjusting every time you put them on. As soon as you set them down, they revert to their maximum setting. Second, they are not as comfortable as they look. I can't wear these for more than 15-20 minutes before having to take them off. When you're working in the studio and recording vocals, often with multiple takes, these two together becomes rather tiresome. Also, I have never used the provided microphone mount. One good thing about these headphones is that the sound doesn't "bleed" through as long as the external speaker levels are not too high.
Hands down bang for the buck winner!!! May 9, 2003

I just got these headphones today and have been trying them out with various applications in my studio. I was impressed and actually surprized by the sonic quality of these things. The bass response was nice & tight and the mids & highs were pleasant. I think it is hilarious that some of the reviewers don't dig the retro appearance. These days, retro is cool and why mess with a good thing. Who are you trying to impress anyway. As a teenager, these were the headphones to get, but I could not afford them and had to settle for a pair of Pioneer SE205's. What a thrill it is to finally purchase something that I always wanted as a youth!! I have seen the complaints about the weight and yes they are heavy, but I think that is the trade off for having cans that will block out most of the external noise and sound this good. I'll just have to get used to them. (so will the other guys in the band since I purchased 4 sets) If you are looking for a great set of studio headphones that won't break the bank, don't hesitate to buy the Pro4AA's.
Jock's Cans of Choice! April 1, 2005

When I started in radio 30 years ago...the first cans I used were Koss Pro 4AAs...
over the years I have used AKG's,Pioneers,and more recently Sennheiser HD500s
which I like...but call me sentimental...my wife got em for my birthday and they still
sound just like I remember them and still cost about the same...So there heavy...big deal..adjust. It is worth it...I missed the weight on my head and they sound great in the studio too! A+
Blocks out at least as much as my Bose QC-2s! October 5, 2005
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
In terms of sheer noise-blocking and great response, these headphones provide as least the equivalent of the Bose, which cost almost 5 times as much. The soundstage (separation) isn't quite as well defined in my opinion as the Bose, but the flat response and excellent overall sound quality give them at least as high marks.
Be prepared for some industrial-strength features, both positive and negative. They have a super fit on you head, but they weigh a lot more than the lightweights out there. So, endless listening sessions are out of the question. On the other hand, they are built like a tank and can take a lot of abuse (short drops on the floor).
The liquid-filled earcups of the original design have been replaced with something that feels better on the ears. Other than that, they seem identical to the pair I bought in the late 60s. With the lifetime warranty, this seems like a bargain for all audiophiles.
