Koss Headphones

Koss Corporation is a legendary American audio company recognized for inventing the world's first high-fidelity stereophones. Founded by John C. Koss in 1958, the brand began its journey in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where it remains headquartered to this day. The company's breakthrough occurred when they paired a portable phonograph with specialized headphones, sparking a revolution in personal audio listening.

While Koss maintains a significant domestic manufacturing presence for its high-end audiophile products and professional gear in its Milwaukee facility, many of its consumer-grade wired and wireless headphones are produced through partners in China to remain competitive in the global electronics market.

Today, Koss Corporation remains a publicly traded, family-led entity. Unlike many of its contemporaries in the audio world that have been acquired by large tech conglomerates, the Koss family maintains a controlling interest in the company, ensuring that the brand preserves its heritage of sound innovation and customer-centric audio engineering.
