Koss - KPH30 Wireless

Koss KSC75/KPH30/KPH40/Porta Pro all all within that $20-40 range but they aren't as durable. I believe the cables like to break on these because they are thin and lack stress relief. Alternatively you could go Samson SR850 or Superlux HD661 but those are only semi-open so outside sounds are slightly damped. To be honest I don't think open backs make people quieter, once you got some audio playing it kind of blocks out ambient noise. At least I assume thats why you want open backs in this case. For the record, Koss headphones sound VERY open, but again these things break with careful adults so you can imagine what children can do. On that note, can anyone seeing this back up the claim that the KPH30 clear is less prone to snapping than the other KPH30 models?

any koss with a metal head band is fine durabilty wise. kph40 has just about 1/2" left on the slider on my 7 3/4 hat size head but you can bend them to adjust and tune clamp. their plastic headbands (kph30) snap after about 6 months when I was using them. the kph style band also pulls on my short to medium hair less than the porta pro style can't speak for the SHP

Why the hell not? A wireless mouse is great, the cable on a wired mouse snags and is a pita, when I have to charge my mouse it's annoying having it tethered. A keyboard less so, because it doesn't really move, but it makes my desk less cluttered, and means I can put my PC wherever I want without worrying too much about cables. The same goes for headphones, I use wired most of the time, but often I'll put my wireless headphones on, go make a cup of tea, check on the dogs etc, often I'll be on my headset walking around the house while on a meeting, or even just reclining my chair and relaxing a little in my office. Or even just going out for a walk with headphones without having to block the outside world, or deal with the thumping noise in your ear when stepping. I go out with my portapros and btr3k all the time, it's a great combo. For OP, maybe the new Koss kph30 wireless would work?
