Koss Cobalt

Sci Fi Tech have a review of the Koss Cobalt Bluetooth headphones and unfortunately it’s quite negative.

According to the review, Koss have made the common mistake of releasing a set of headphones that are so uncomfortable to wear that it over shadows any positive features.

“The poor, bulky design of the headphones themselves makes them pretty much useless, at least as far as I was concerned. I didn’t even have to turn them on to know I would never want to wear them. Anyone used to the small earbuds that come with the iPod or other earphones of that size will have a really hard time adjusting to the Koss’s awkward, uncomfortable design.”

In addition, Sci Fi Tech also found some other aspects of the design to be annoying, particularly the need for AAA batteries in the Bluetooth transmitter when they’d made the actual headphones rechargeable.

Sci Fi Tech do seem reasonably impressed with the sound quality of these phones but again find the design prevents getting the best from them.

Overall, these seem like a set of headphones to avoid, especially considering the $180 price tag. Hopefully Koss will get it right next time around.
