Our take on the KOSS CL-5i Clear Stereo Headphones with Mic

The Koss CL-5i is a wired on-ear headphone with a transparent shell that shows its internal parts, a retro look few rivals offer at any level. It uses a standard 3.5mm jack and adds an in-line mic and remote for calls and music on phones, tablets, computers and game devices. Plush leatherette cushions and a light frame keep it comfortable for long sessions. Its rated range is 60–20,000 Hz, so it favors a warm, full low end over the flat response studio headphones aim for.

Questions and answers

Does the Koss CL-5i work with a phone that has no headphone jack?
No. It needs a standard 3.5mm jack, so phones without one require a separate adapter.
Can I use the CL-5i for calls?
Yes. The in-line microphone and remote let you answer and end calls and control music.
How does it compare with the Koss Porta Pro?
The Porta Pro is an open-back on-ear with a folding metal frame and a more balanced sound. The CL-5i is a closed clear-shell design with a mic and remote for calls.
Is the CL-5i good for critical listening?
It is tuned warm and full rather than flat, and its 60 Hz low end limits deep bass. It suits casual listening and calls more than studio work.
What comes in the box?
The headphone with its attached cable and in-line remote. No case or adapter is listed.
Does it block outside noise?
The closed on-ear cushions muffle some surrounding sound, but there is no active noise cancellation.
