“The Massdrop x Koss ESP/95X is a custom version of the classic Koss ESP/950 Electrostatic Stereo Headphone System, which has long been considered one of the premier Electrostatic Headphones on the market,” said Michael J. Koss, Jr., Vice President Marketing & Product, Koss Corporation.

Koss collaborated with San Francisco-based Massdrop to develop the ESP/95X, tapping into its unique “Community-Driven” commerce platform to inform the product. Featuring clean bass and the unmatched sound quality trademark of the original, the ESP/95X comes in Massdrop’s exclusive midnight blue and features all-new premium velour-wrapped ear cushions designed for optimal listening.

“Increased HiFi audio awareness generated by the Massdrop community, coupled with the strong U.S. economy has led to an increased demand for Koss Electrostatic Headphones,” said Michael J. Koss, Jr.

Along with the ESP/95X, Koss also announced plans to increase production and assembly of their Electrostatic Line of Stereo Headphones at the Company’s factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
