I'm out of the loop, but why are the perfect?
light weight. little clamp. on-ear, so wearing them in the house is okay as they won't isolate you completely from whatever is going on around you. and being wireless, you don't have to worry about the flimsy cable snapping off like they're wont to do. that was the weakness off the KPH30i, the cable was horrendous! lots of info on taking them apart so you can solder on something heftier, but then you need to be a diy'er. I'm not good at diy and even worse, my fingers are potatoes. some of you might recall me mentioning how my fingers like the misfire while typing due to the shake up my neurons went through a looong time ago. it makes fine motor skill stuff a frustrating task for me. :(

I've never been a fan of on ear myself, preferring over ear open for anything that isn't isolating. But wireless is nice. I have a set of wireless open ear buds that are actually not too bad for gaming, but there is an ever so slight delay in visual and sound so it makes watching video content with them a little distracting. Gaming cutscenes and sound effects you don't notice it though.

Not an on-ear fan at all.
Koss however? Best cheap earbuds you can ever get were called "The Plug", basically squashable full ear plugs with a tiny tube through the middle, excellent sound dampening, good bass for ear buds, and doubled as IEMs and concert ear buds more than once - just slid the plug parts off the tube+earbud parts and you've got a cheap noise dampening ear plug that still lets yoy enjoy a loud concert without earing loss.

... but this model in particular? Ehhhh not so sure tbh. Can't seem them being better than my Bose QC45s - which also do BT calls, excellent battery life and have both an active noise canceling and "aware" mode that lets you hear what's around you. BUT, these Koss ones are likely far less expensive so that's something

I'm not a huge on-ear fan either, but the Koss Porta Pro and their KPH30 are two exceptions. there is a wireless Porta Pro, but it still has that horrendous headband that loves to pinch and pull your hair out...so I don't use it cause I have very little hair left up top and it still seems to find it to tug on!
