The KPH8 is a lightweight wired on-ear stereophone from Koss. Koss sells it in black or white housings, while its D-Profile ear cup shape is intended for comfort.

Key specs that matter

Drivers are 25 mm dynamic units. Frequency response is 80 Hz to 18 kHz, impedance is 32 ohms and sensitivity is 94 dB SPL. The dual entry cord is 1.2 m long and ends in a 3.5 mm plug.

Engineering and use context

With its low impedance, the KPH8 is easy to drive straight from a phone or laptop jack, with no separate headphone amp needed. The short cord suits portable use rather than a desk setup far from the source. Koss covers the KPH8 with its Limited Lifetime Warranty.
