Are the bells themselves aluminum / metal or plastic? I saw a review on the Guitar Center site that the "bells" are plastic (?)

I think they meant that the frame is plastic, I don't think the bells can be plastic, they would not resonate or ring like metal does. The sound would not be anything close to a bell sound.

The ones that came with my set were not plastic. I'm not sure of the metal makeup but I'm positive they were not plastic.

As the previous person noted, metal and plastic. Do you want to buy my set? My husband used for about two weeks after surgery, they are in excellent condition.

Plastic surface. Great sounding amp. The electronic display on the front went wonky just past one year of ownership (covered under warranty). I'm now using a Peachtree Audio amp. Much nicer amp all the way around!

They are plastic. They hold up pretty well but do make a bit of noise going down the sidewalk. The reason for plastic is that it gives the gearboxes some "give" meaning they will slide vs. dig in. This eliminates alot of pressure on the gearboxes.

Based on the price, and description lacking info on metal tracks I would guess they are plastic. I installed metal tracks and a metal gear box on mine but it is cheaper if you can find one with those options already installed.

They definitely aren't plastic. I'm not sure if they're stainless steel but they are some kind of shiny, steel-like metal. They're actually pretty sturdy.

Plastic, I've had them for over a year and they've held up perfectly fine. The speakers I have them set up with are fairly large and heavy and they haven't shifted or broken down at all.

Hi. They are of some metal aleation similar to aluminum or magnesium. They sound beastial, I mean, they rocks!The sound, the bass, and also using software to improve the quality, it's awesome!I got problems when using them at home, because I cannot hear anything outside my ears, only the music. They are like a sound box in each ear. Beware that you should set you volume level with some apps including youtube.They come with 2 cables replaceable when damaged, and that's a great feature for expensive like headphones like this one.Out of that, I love them and highly recommend them for music lovers (rock, hip hop, latin music like dembow, reggaeton or salsa).Cheers!

The silver tweeter face is aluminum but the black round housing on the sides, back and pedestal are all plastic. No problems here so far.

I bought it as a gift for my mom, but I believe they are metal. It works really great..

They are all plastic. No metal. After some use they rust. Will not last long. They only turn on with motion. So if your stopped they will not be on.

i think they are metal. The sound they make sounds metal to me. I dropped one onto the tile and it made a clink sound.

They are made of anodized aluminum. I have them at my home and they are good quality.

It's metal. I really like these headphones! If you look up Koss porta-pros you will see additional reviews. I don't think yo can get a better sounding headphone for the money. These things are legit and have great bass, which I think is lacking in every earbud. You will like!

I'm not quite certain what the metal is, but the knobs are very heavy and look great! I put them on nearly a year ago and truly do love them. I wouldn't hesitate to order them again.

I have used them outside. The baffle is metal and the ring is plastic. I have three over my front porch that I just replaced with these. After about ten years the plastic rings yellow. But for the price it is no big deal. Hope this helps!
