Our take on the Koss Wired Noise Canceling Over-Ear Headphones UR23i

The Koss UR23i is a wired, closed-back over-ear headphone with a built-in microphone and passive noise isolation. It uses 34-ohm dynamic drivers rated 20 Hz to 20 kHz, so it runs loudly from a phone or laptop jack without an amp. The 'noise canceling' in the name means the closed cups block some surrounding sound; there is no active circuitry. It suits call takers, students and budget listeners who want a simple plug-in headset, but it lacks Bluetooth, a detachable cable and active noise cancellation that rivals at the same level offer.

What reviewers say

Owner feedback on the UR23i is limited and mixed. Buyers who keep expectations low call it a decent cheap corded headset for calls, while others say the passive isolation is modest and the build feels flimsy.

What people mention
  • IsolationCriticisedOwners say the closed cups cut some noise but fall well short of what 'noise canceling' implies.
  • BuildCriticisedBuyers describe the plastic frame as basic and not very durable.
  • ComfortPraisedUsers find the over-ear fit light enough for long calls and listening sessions.
  • MicrophonePraisedThe inline mic is reported to work clearly for calls and meetings.
  • CableMixedThe fixed 4 ft cord is long enough for a desk but too short for couch use and cannot be replaced.
