No problem until now - after 2.5 years.......2007-12-24
These were everything I looked for: cheap decent-sounding behind ear headphones that still let me hear what was going on around me at work.
Only problem similar to other reports is sometimes need to adjust the volume slider to right position or one side would cut out.
After having these for 2 1/2 years the cord wore out (with some help from me - sometimes I'd stand up and get the cord caught on a desk corner). I'll purchase a higher quality set next time
Typical Koss - Bang for Buck.......2007-07-21
I bought these to replace my lost traveling headphones (sony earbuds). They were bought specifically because they were folding and not earbuds. I've never been a fan the earbud-style and bought my last pair because I'd had no choice.
So far, these are much more comfortable and those of you with heads the size of basketballs will be happy to find the "behind the head" feels comfortable and secure even on your massive melon.
The sound seems a little washed out--I'm surprised--Koss usually has a very good sound. Still it's tolerable for the extra comfort and portability.
Durability wise, these seem sturdy and well made (despite the other reviews) but only time will tell for sure--being for travel, they will take a lot of abuse.
Koss does have a lifetime warranty--so I'm sure I'll be abusing it.
Not bad for the money.......2006-04-04
Bought this because I needed a pair of headphones to wrap behind the head (remember to wear a helme when you're cycling, kids!), that also had a volume control, and that were cheap enough to not miss if they got broken.
This headphones have an interesting feature -- the ears sort of fold up to form this horizontally smaller setup for travel -- it's not particularly useful in practice, but it is a nice thought.
They are a little tight around my head yet do not hurt after extended (2 hour) use, but YMMV.
As for the sound -- you will need to tweak the EQ if you have one on your player. They are naturally fairly cheap, and so you don't expect good sound, but they really seem to blast the mid-high range, sometimes in an almost painful fashion. Lowering the mid-highs, and upping the bass and treble solves it for me. This is why I'm rating it a 3, for the unbalanced sound. I've had other similar products (my last set) which, while the sound isn't great, reproduce it fairly evenly across the board.
Other than that, if you need a pair of cheap headphones to work out with, with a volume control, that wrap around your head, these are the ones to get.
Not Worth Buying.......2006-03-11
When I received this product the only way to get both sides to work was to hit them repeatedly. Loose connection I believe. Not worth it to try and return them. Threw them in the trash can and bought a better pair at a local retailer.
Hurts my Ears.......2006-02-22
My grandmother gave these to me, beacause she sold her computer. They really hurt your ears.

Disappointed.......2006-02-02
I was quite unhappy with this TV and as a result returned it. The audio was poor, the picture was poor and the controls were hard to operate. Amazon.com generally provides good products; however, in this case they slipped badly.
TVreviewer.......2005-04-01
Any TVs from AXION or American Action should be avoided. I hear nothing but trouble about them, and I have recently purchased an TFT LCD 3.2" color TV by AXION, and it's a big disappointment. This type of TV is fine, if it's not from American Action or AXION. I have a Sylvania that looks exactly like this one, and it works great! Just don't buy an AXION or American Action model, and it will be ok.
Would Be Rated Zero Stars If That Was An Option.......2005-01-15
Ordered one, despite the reviews, and it arrived DOA.
Amazon very quickly sent out a replacement, with expedited shipping (way to go Amazon), but that too was DOA.
Don't bother with this unit, which by the way is not an Axion, it is ACTION. Even the cardboard box it is packaged in is cheap and recycled. Too bad.
I am going to order a different brand, one that is rated highly!!!
Cheap Cheap Cheap.......2004-05-29
I did not order this from Amazon, but it was a "We're Sorry" gift from a company who screwed up during customer service who shall remain nameless for now. The first TV they sent was already not working when I opened it-picture tube broken. Then this company sent me a second, which works, but we'll see how long it lasts. It is really hard to find a channel here in Northeast Ohio on this little TV. The tuning is not so wonderful. But for a fun little cheap thing you won't mind losing or breaking on a road trip or at the beach, it will do.
Don't waste your money.......2004-04-02
I bought this TV in December and 60 days later, the picture tube went out. Of course, the warranty had expired by then and it was 30 days past the day when I could return it back to Amazon.com. I can't believe Amazon allows garbage like this to be sold!
