Koss 155954 VC20 Volume Control, Standard Packaging

Purchased this so I could control the volume of my PC speakers which I am using for my Xbox, this cable allows me to adjust the volume as the controls on my actual speakers are only compatible with Windows

I hate all my overly sensitive digital devices with their volume controls. You have to be looking at them and gauge how much is over or under what you want and seldom get it right first time. With a wheel that rotates you can stop at the level you want and all without looking. Koss have been making professional headphones for decades (I have three pairs) so their knowledge of what is required for listening satisfaction is incomparable, as is their quality.. An easy simple option to modern over-complication.

My headphones are too loud on Aircraft, this device allows me to turn down the volume and stop the drivers getting damaged.

Been looking for a in-line volume control for some time so whenI found one by Koss I expected a good product. Well I was disappionted. The max volume is about 25% of the PC volume, had to have the PC vol @ 100% to get any decent volume @ all. But the reason I returnedthis itme was that after a while the volume became pretty much inaudible, pulling the headphones plug from the socket and re-inserting it fixed it but a shorg while later it wouls happen again. This happened with several different headphones. Very unimpressed.

I have a very nice set of stereo headphones which, for reasons I cannot understand, does not include an in-line volume control. I purchased the Koss VC20 to insert in the playback circuit when I needed an in-line volume control. The device works perfectly, just as it is supposed to. The only minor drawback is that the notched wheel with which you change the volume setting is rather small and quite sensitive - only a potential disadvantage for folks with large fingers. Overall, I'm totally satisfied with this product.

These are shockingly expensive given what's inside -- I've had one open in order to repair it when the cable failed where it enters the case. The cable is perhaps a bit better than a 99p one would be and the case is okay ... though getting it open was a bit of a nightmare, these things are clearly designed to be thrown away instead of being fixed.

overpriced - take a look at the koss website for a great description of this fabulous product and it's perceived value by the manufacturuers

全てにおいて、私のアンテナが受信w 音質、音圧、高音、低音のキレ言う事なし。ノイキャンはダイヤル、アナログ感むき出しのデザイン、機能いゃ〜購入してよかったです！

Bastante contento con su funcionamiento, no me molestaría pagar un poco mas por algo con materiales Premium (Pero este se veía como la mejor opción) pero es bastante buena, cumple y no introduce ruido.

If you are looking for a compact inline volume control as an extension, for either earbuds or headphones when it may not be easy for you to control the device directly, I would highly recommend this.

I already have two "no name" inline volume controls, but I needed another. This Koss unit was no more expensive from Amazon than another "no name" from an electronics store, and I've been a big fan of Koss since the late 70s, so I bought it. First, what it IS and ISN'T. This is a volume control, but NOT an amplifier. It will make your MP3 player, etc., quieter, but NOT louder. If your source is too quiet, look for a headphone amplifier. When I used to listen to a cassette walkman it was easy to turn down the volume when I needed to. The volume control was a thumbwheel right on the player. I have several MP3 players now, and they all have hi-tech context sensitive controls. This means (for me, anyway) that I have to look at the screen to make sure the button or slide control is set for volume. This control solves that problem. Set the player for a volume slightly on the loud side and use the inline control to get comfortable sound. If you need to lower the volume (to talk to someone, for instance) you can use the volume control without taking your player out of your pocket. This model has a three foot cord between the player and the volume control. This is nice if your player has an FM tuner -- MP3 players use the headphone cord as an FM antenna. My generic ones were only about 8 inches long and the FM reception suffered. The control has a clip on it, so you can wear your player safely in a padded pouch on your belt and clip the volume control to your chest pocket. A few reviewers have noted that lowering the volume attenuates high frequencies. I tried using the EQ settings on my player (I was also using Koss PortaPro headphones). When I had Bass Boost EQ settings I did notice some high frequency attenuation in both the Koss and generic inline volume controls; when the EQ was turned off I didn't notice as much high frequency attenuation, but the sound was very "flat." Anyway, I don't think I would have noticed it if other reviewers hadn't pointed it out. An inline volume control is very handy for portable MP3 players, etc., and this unit is well thought out, and works great.

I use a radio, a Sony ICF-7600GR, that is a little "hot" on the audio output jack. Even with radio volume at minimum the sound level was too loud for my mono earphone. I listen to AM radio stations overnight with that earphone, so it was critical to reduce the volume to a level that was still audible, but not distractingly loud. This unit arrived today and I tested it immediately. It works perfectly, and I now have much more control over the volume level. I presumed it would work OK with mono, even though it is made for stereo - and it works great. Very happy with this purchase. Koss is a quality brand. It's maybe a lot of money for a simple potentiometer - but the build quality made it worthwhile.
