Koss Porta Pro On Ear Headphones with Case, Black / Silver

I have used this model of headphone about more than 5 years.

I needed a light set of headphones that would fold up small and not break. They do that. The sound quality is pretty good. Nothing mind-blowing. The biggest problem is that they dont block out the sound around you at all but thats to be expected with on-ear headphones.

all around good

Recently purchased my 3rd set of Porta-Pros when they were offered at $ 25 USD. I love the sound quality and have enjoyed my earlier sets through the years. I dont know of anything else that comes close to the sound quality of these headphones at this price. So why have I bought multiples of these through the years? Well, if you use them during travel the wear and tear adds up. Not really a fault of the Porta-Pros, but more just the way of the world. Sure, I can send them back to Koss for warranty repair, but in all honesty its not a product defect and just normal wear an tear. I had a wire break in one set (they tend to do that if you do something stupid and drop them such that they are hanging by the wire a few times), so I just grabbed set number two off the shelf and was back in business. My recent set #3 is now on the shelf for when needed down the road. If youve never tried the Porta-Pros, do yourself a favor and grab a pair when they are offered at a cheap price. You will not be disappointed.

Die Koss Porta Pro sind die aktuell vermutlich besten On-Ear-Kopfhörer auf dem Markt zu einem überragenden Preis. Die Klangqualität ist in dieser Klasse über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Satte Bässe und saubere Töne sowohl bei hohen als auch bei tiefen Tönen begeistern jeden Musikfreund. Durch den sehr guten Klang und den angenehmen Tragekomfort eignen sich die Kopfhörer so auch für einen längeren Einsatz und kommen auch bei anspruchsvoller Musik nie an ihre Grenzen.

Ive occasionally read reviews about these over the years. But I irrationally felt from their appearance that they probably werent as good as so many people said they were. But indeed they are. As everyone discovers, the experience of comfort and sound clarity in these matters can be extremely personal. On the basis of sheer discomfort alone, I have greatly disliked every one of all the types of headphones I have ever tried- until now. And anything in-ear is much worse. So I have simply been looking for something/anything with decent sound quality that didnt cause my ears to burn and my entire head to ache after 30 minutes. Now the long frustrating quest merely to find wearable headphones is over at last. What a relief!

I have no complaints about the sound quality. But the construction is just a hair above the free headphones that airlines give out. The switches to loosen the grip on the skull seem pretty gimmicky to me. I do enjoy that they clasp together to stay pretty small. But they feel cheap, and look cheap, and Im a little embarrassed to be seen wearing them in public.

These are so little, cool and cute. They have a long yet very thin cord that goes into both sides. They seem like theyll break easily, but most likely wont at all, unless you step on them. The metal headband adjusts very well to fit your head and does it smoothly, neat part is that if you have kids these would be perfect for them as well, cause when you adjust the headband to its smallest (which is how it comes outta the box) theyll fit perfectly without being loose at all. Sound wise they are soft sounding and not to to loud (this is on my phone on full blast) yet thats good somehow to me lol, and I love my music loud and booming, which is what made me say wow interesting I like that for a change. And let me tell you these things have good bass, I was hoping they would and wasnt thinking they would be as good on the bass as they are. Dont get me wrong though these headphones are amazing on all music period, I dont want you to think nope bass isnt for me because I said good bass, I threw that out there for the people who love their bass and thats all. These are good, soft, light sounding headphones and for the price you cant beat what these 80s revised headphones are.

I broke my first set of these after 2 weeks. I did like the sound enough to order another but now that Im used to it I find the whole experience a little light. I dont get a real sense of immersion in the music anymore and noisy music tends to sound muddled and bad on these things.
