The Koss SB40 is a full-size, black communication headset designed for clear audio and voice transmission. Featuring an over-ear, closed-back design with a comfortable headband, it delivers stereo sound with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The integrated, adjustable boom microphone boasts noise-canceling technology, ensuring your voice is heard clearly, while the generous 7.87-foot non-detachable cable with dual 3.5mm TRS connectors provides ample reach for your computing needs.
Choose between open-back (spacious sound, leaks noise) and closed-back (isolating, punchy bass) designs based on your environment. For wireless headphones, prioritize comfort and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance. Available from $44.99.
Wired headphones have no ongoing costs besides occasional earpad replacements. Wireless headphones function as consumables, as their batteries will eventually degrade after a few years of daily use.
