Here is an example of building a near useless product to a price point rather than building  a quality product that would surely have only cost a few dollars more. I bought the KOSS UR 40 headphones, larger than the KTXPRO 1. Reviews complained of the short chord on the UR40. But I theorized the length of the volume control would make up for that. The volume control plugs into the computer and the UR 40s plug into the black box end of the volume control. The rproblem is that the receptacle is not designed so that both channels connect at the same time. One can hear out of one side of the headphone only. Sure one can turn the 3.5 mm jack and for a nano second hear both channels by pressing the jack in. But let go of the pressure and it is back to one channel.  How on earth could a company famous for headphones put out such an inadequate product. Did I just get a dud not up to specs, I doubt it.
