KOSS BT540i: Review by Headfonia - The Headphone Enthusiast's WebsiteRead more
High-performance Bluetooth headphones for music lovers looking for a bargainRead more
Koss BT540i ($199) Looking very much like their ProDJ100, the Koss BT540i is...well, not very stylish. Val Kolton of V-Moda with his "no circles or plastic" mantra would cringe. Circular ear capsules, circular pads, and, but for the headband sliders and a few bits here or there, plastic and pleather everywhere. Yeah, this is a very plain looking headphone.Read more
