Наушники — Koss CS200 USB

The CS200 USB is a vented over-ear headphone from Koss, built with a USB connector within the brand's CS range. This model shares the CS-series platform with the CS100 USB and CS195 USB, using a vented rather than fully open or closed acoustic scheme as its specific differentiator within that shared family.

Position in line

It sits alongside the CS100 USB and CS195 USB in Koss's CS range. This positioning within a range built around varying connector and acoustic scheme options places the CS200 USB as the vented-design variant for buyers who specifically want that particular acoustic character over the CS100 USB's open design.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 20 Hz to 22 kHz, the widest window among the three CS USB models compared here. Connector is USB-A. As with the CS195 USB, detailed sensitivity and impedance figures are not published for this specific variant.

Sound and use context

Expect a character positioned between fully open and fully closed designs, typical of a vented acoustic scheme, with the USB connection handling digital-to-analogue conversion internally - vented designs generally offer a middle ground between an open design's airy soundstage and a closed design's isolation, though the specific balance here should be confirmed through hands-on listening given the limited published specification.

Pairing

The USB-A connector works directly with any computer offering a compatible USB port, requiring no separate headphone amplifier or external DAC.

Alternatives

The CS100 USB and CS195 USB sit alongside this model in Koss's CS range with different acoustic schemes, worth comparing directly on open versus vented design and specific published specifications before choosing between these positioned Koss USB-connected headphones. Because this specific model also omits some published performance figures, buyers should treat the vented acoustic scheme as the primary differentiator worth confirming through hands-on listening rather than relying purely on a specification sheet comparison against the CS100 USB or CS195 USB. Koss broad USB-connected CS range gives buyers a reasonably wide choice of acoustic schemes within a shared core platform. A dealer visit remains the simplest way to compare this model against both the CS100 USB and CS195 USB. Overall this remains a reasonable choice for a buyer specifically wanting a vented acoustic character over a fully open design.
