User questions & answers

Question:	When I plug into my MacBook the mic doesn't pick up any sound. It's as if the computer isn't recognizing? Suggestions
Answer:	Don't use Windows 8; still back in the dark ages with XP. However, I echo the other responders. No reason why it shouldn't. Software is designed for voice recognition so should be fine.
Question:	Does this work with windows
Answer:	no controls on the headset...
Question:	Will this USB headset work better with Dragon than the audio plug in headset that comes with the Dragon software
Answer:	I'm not aware that you can.
Question:	is it compatible with rosetta stone software
Answer:	Thanks, I just called this customer service number and they didn't know. The person who answered claims that their USB headsets are "designed for plug and play," but then suggested I call Apple to find out if the headset would work. Not very helpful!

User questions & answers

Question:	Any issues with the mic not working on Windows
Answer:	have you tried to set it in preferences? must go to sound/ input and output settings, -- let us know if this works, thanks
Question:	does this come with separate 3.5 mm plugs for mike and headphones
Answer:	Yes - I have Windows 8 (now 8.1) and it works just fine. If you're using it with the Dragon software, or anything else, it needs to be plugged into the USB port first before starting the program for the computer to recognize it.
Question:	Does the Earcup cover the ear? Also will I be able to use the SB-40 or SB-45 with a telephone using the RJ9/RJ10 to Dual 3.5mm Adapter
Answer:	This headset has a more sensitive microphone and I am currently using with Dragon and it works great.
Question:	Can the mic be used on the right side ? (Will the mic rotate 180 degrees
Answer:	I use it for Dragon Voice recognition software, and they work extremely well. I am assuming that Rosetta Stone software is quite like the Dragon software. My educated guess is that they will work perfectly with Rosetta Stone software.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can these be used as regular headphones when you're not gaming
Answer:	The one I have does. It has a 3.5 mm mono plug for the microphone and a separate stereo plug for the hadphones
Question:	Is the 3.5mm jack proprietary? I have a v-moda boom mic I spent money on and I don’t want the have to buy another mic for it
Answer:	Yes, the ear cup will cover your ear. And prob a RJ9/RJ10 to Dual 3.5mm adapter will probably work. I will warn you the mike on these is very poor quality.
Question:	Is the cord/mic connection that connects to the headset itself a 2.5mm or 3.5mm connection
Answer:	Yes the mic on the SB40 will rotate 180 degrees . Just be gentle & don't force it, it will rotate 180 Deg.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use these in my Skype sessions
Answer:	No volume control nor a mute button.
Question:	Will these headphones fit into my usb port on my computer or my ipod
Answer:	I only have the 3.5 jack set, so I can't tell you anything about the USB version... but if you need a budget headset, this gets the job done. Koss is very experienced at making headphones, so the audio quality on the phones themselves is fine. The mic quality is a little suspect, though. When voice chatting, I've been told that there's a lot of interference and it sounds like it's low quality. They can still understand what I'm saying for the most part, though.
Question:	Does this have a removable cable, or is the cord permanently attached to the headphones
Answer:	The USB version is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CK9BL4S/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I24DNAZNHZHB3X&colid=2C7E18H31CYA9
Question:	Do they completely cover the ear
Answer:	I wear glasses and I do wear the 'phones for hours. They are very comfortable- you really don't notice any pressure on your glasses.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use these while they're charging
Answer:	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.
Question:	Is there any way to purchase just the earclip piece? I have several pairs of ksc35 and ksc75 drivers that need replacement clips
Answer:	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.
Question:	are these compatable with iPad? can it be paired
Answer:	My son has been using it for that purpose so I guess it would work.
Question:	Does this have a fade in on tracks like the bt221ik? that fade is driving me crazy. also, would the sound quality/driver be the same as the ksc
Answer:	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.

Answer:	No, as soon as you plug in the charging cable they disconnect and shut off.

Answer:	I suggest contacting KOSS Customer Service directly with that question.
Question:	Will these work OK when wearing eye glasses
Answer:	Most likely. We paired them to an iPhone so I would say yes.
Question:	Hows the sound quality compared to Koss PortaPro
Answer:	Yes, this does have the fade-in effect when sounds come out right after connection or silent after a while. I don't like this either...

User questions & answers

Question:	Do these have a bigger ear space (inside the muffs) than the koss bt539iw
Answer:	Absolutely. I've been running with mine for almost seven years, and am just now going to replace them because the foam has deteriorated. (Replacement foam is about half the price of a new set of headphones, so why not?) I'm not an Ironman, but I jog - not walk. Maybe 9 minute miles or so if that gives an indication. And I run trails or the beach 95% of the time, so the jostling/direction change/etc is certainly more than just an average street or treadmill run.They are slightly loose when you first get them, but as somebody else pointed out, it's wire that can be slightly adjusted for the perfect fit. Yes, mine have popped off a few times when there was tension (by design), but maybe 10 times in 7 years? I can live with that.The thing I like best is the sound. It isn't $300 level sound, but it's a heck of a lot more than $15 sound. Oh, and I'm a gadget guy, so I really, really wanted Bluetooth headphones to work and not have to deal with the cords. But I haven't yet found good Bluetooth ones that aren't in-ear, which means that upon every stride (for the in-ear), I hear thump thump thump. I'm sure there's some good on-ear Bluetooth out there, but for the price of these with a very mild inconvenience, I'm buying a new pair when I finish typing this.
Question:	What is the frequency response of these headphones
Answer:	There is no volume control on the head clips. The levels are adjusted at the source machine, but you can probably find or make a separate cord with a spin-knob to regulate volume which would fit between the source and the clip jack.
Question:	Why are they asking such a high price forthis old headphones
Answer:	I have big clunky glasses and never noticed there being an issue with fit
Question:	Is the bluetooth multipoint? Meaning can I connect to 2 devices simultaneously
Answer:	I have both KSC75 and PortaPro. If I don't do a A, B comparison I enjoy both, they both sound excellent. If compare them A to B, I like the PortaPro's the best, they have a warmer sound good vocals smooth high end, very musical. The PortaPro's also fold up and will fit in a large pocket of a jacket or coat. The KSC75 have ear clips that I did not want to fool with , I just unsnapped the drivers from the clips and clipped them on an old headband I already had. The KSC75 is not as warm sounding but the base is still there, a string base still sounds good. Vocals sound very good and the high end may be a bit brighter. Both are 60 ohm headsets so they are easy to drive with portable devices like cell phone. They do have different drivers, KSC75 are Titanium and I think the PortaPro are Mylar. The sound stage my be a little bigger and sharper defined on the ProtaPro, but only apparent in A, B comparison. Remember one costs around $15 and the other is around $40. I like them both.

User questions & answers

Question:	are they compatible with ipod touch
Answer:	I don’t know about the other,, but I am 6’8 with ears to match and these are perfect. They are a bit heavier than, e.g., Apple or Bose, but otherwise excellent earphones and good value.. You may see elsewhere comments on the BRIGHT blue light — If you use earphones at night: NP if you sleep on the right side; an annoyance to partner if you sleep on the left ;o)
Question:	Will they work HPwindows 8 LAPTOP
Answer:	10 - 25000 hz according to Koss website. Led us too bright.
Question:	Is this the same as the Radio Shack Pot 35A, will the replacement cushions fit
Answer:	Because they are high quality studio headphones.
Question:	I was wondering how bad the noise leakage is? Is it minimal or would earplug type be better if you were looking for a portable option
Answer:	No, it can only connect to one at a time.
