  • Great Value, classic looks
Color: Rhythm Beige
Firstly, these are not headphones for every situation. Being open backs, they have poor noise isolation, so using them in a bus or other such scenario is not that great. The fit can take some getting used to, but with the Koss oversized earpads or Yaxi earpads, the comfort is great. They’re very adjustable and I’ve had no issues with comfort. The sound is clear and precise, with the signature “wide” feeling that open backs are known for, though keep in mind this is essentially a $30 set of headphones, it’s not going to beat any industry titans soon. The headphones are a little heavy in the midbass region, but this can be resolved with EQ. If you don’t want to rely on EQ, Koss’s KSC75 headphones are tuned better, but they’re earclips instead of traditional headphones. Lastly, these look great, especially with orange earpads - definitely something that fits into modern retro revival fashion. Overall, these are great and enjoyable headphones, even if they aren’t perfect. ... show more

  • Just like the 80's!
Color: Rhythm Beige
I have always heard good things about Koss, and with good reason. They did invent the "stereophones" first, after all. And WOW. For the price point, these things absolutely punch well above their weight. The open-back design also gives great soundstaging, which is what I was really hoping for! I did get some aftermarket pads in orange to give them classic Walkman vibes, so I can't say how the default foams feel, but I will say this thing fits perfectly, and feels as light as a feather. Not quite "forget you're even wearing them" comfort, but definitely "I don't mind keeping them on for hours" feel. These specific models come with an in-line microphone and a volume slider control, which is great; lets you adjust volume levels without needing to reach into a pocket for your device! I'm using these for my cassette player, so I can't speak about the microphone function. They also come with a hardshell case and a faux-leather carrying bag, which I didn't expect for this price point! Overall I think Koss hasn't changed a bit since the 80's, and I mean that in the best way possible. They still offer the same great products, at great prices, with a durable build and sound quality you just can't beat. And they still offer that lifetime warranty; anything goes wrong, you send in your headphones and $9 and they'll fix it or replace it, for as long as you live! (Not that I think I'd ever have to take them up on it, these things are built like tanks!) Highly recommend these, or any of Koss' lineup. ... show more

  • Finally, after many others, the everyday headphone I've been trying to find...
Color: Rhythm Beige
I've been through the gamut of the mid-fi suggestions. It all started when my $20 On-Ear Sony's dropped off my desk and one side busted. So, what was the internet recommending? I've daily driven Grado sr80s, Audiotechnica m50s, V-Moda LP2s, a very misguided Marshall headphone purchase, a small assortment of 40-80 dollar in-ears that were never good, and most recently the Phillips X2HRs. All with their own shortcomings, personalties, and usual discomfort. They aren't bad. The Grado and X2HRs still see use while the others have mostly fallen into disrepair or are just gross from age. Unfortunately, I've never been completely happy with any of them. If I could go back and add a few of those sets together and rebuy something more in the 300-400 dollar range like the Sennheiser HD 600s I would, but I have this horrible addiction to buying value headphones. Overperformers for price. Well, it turns out I never did that. I was overpaying. These Koss Porta Pros are true overperformance. It doesn't make any sense. These frail little headphones can hold their own against anything else I've had in the past at half of the cost along with any of my friend's headphones and headsets I've tried. With the Porta Pros performing well past most of them and with COMFORT. No m50 headband clamp and painful hot ears. No harsh X2HR treble poking sharply at my eardrums after an hour. None of the Grado "Grattle" forcing me to constantly pull small hairs out of the drivers. Just the beautiful, warm tones of these lovelies. I've always struggled with harsh sibilance or sub-bass pressure, and it's just not here. It's just a hug of sound. You can wear these all day, every day. Your ears won't get hot and you won't have a sore spot on the top of your head after 2 hours like you would with whatever the heavy "recommendation" of the week is. It feels so good to have finally found the headphone I can grab for any occasion or genre. Honest's truth, the build quality feels cheap, but that's also what keeps it all so light. The cord is a sin against consumerism and Koss should feel bad about it. It won't matter once you have them sitting and situated on your head though. I've already picked up a pair of Yaxi pads to go on them and they've become even more comfortable. They may sound even better. To anyone who has been stuck in value hell, these are them. Get these. You'll forget you even have them on and you'll just be left enjoying music. The sound could be too warm if you really like that crispy, crispy treble, but personally, I can't take more than 2-3 hours of that before I need a good long silent break. With this sound, you can plow through some podcasts and a few albums while working on a large project and never feel fatigued. If this pair breaks, I'll either fix it or quickly replace them. I've never been happier with a set of headphones. I don't even care that I overpaid for some beige coloring. They look GREAT with some bright orange Yaxi pads by the way... Just get 'em. You'll find yourself using your other sets less and less. Maybe not because they sound better, surely there's better, but because they are that dependable cozy audio blanket that you can depend on for anything. Save your money now with these, and then buy something that's a true step-up later if you still need to chase that audio dragon. I most likely won't be. ... show more

  • A modern classic take on Walkers A modern classic take on Walkers
Color: Black Gold
I absolutely love these headphones. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it sooner. I’ve always wanted these types of Walker headphones again because it’s easy on the ears, it’s not one of those deep plugging into the ears, especially they be in that earwax. I have oily ears & hair so these are easier to manage in terms of maintenance & cleanliness. They are a bit pricey but they are worth it for the quality, these are exactly my preference. It’s a mix of acoustic & bass boosting, it improve the sound overall on my computer, it’s comfortable on the head. I was surprise at how light it is, it’s also foldable & it came with a traveling case. However, the cushions are a bit small, I feel it could’ve been a bit thicker & bigger to cover just a bit more of the ear. And my biggest complaint is the wire, it is incredibly thin. A simple accident could easily break the wire, it is even thinner than apple iPhone headphones. It would’ve been nice if they were produced in the US, but it is manufactured in China. ... show more

  • As great as I remember my original 1985 pair. No, Greater!
Color: Black Gold
I had a pair of Porta Pros all the way back in the mid 80's that I bought mostly because of their unusual design, but I soon came to love them for their amazing sound quality, especially considering the ridiculously low price. I enjoyed those little suckers for many years, maybe 15, until they finally decided to get up from my office desk and go home with someone else. Fickle bastards. So it's been at least 15 years since we parted ways and I'd all but forgotten about my old pair of Porta Pros, but while I was recently hunting around for a new pair of headphones to replace the latest set to also elect to be adopted by a stranger I stumbled upon this Amazon page, and I was reminded of the great times I'd shared with that long-ago-runaway pair. A true Hollywood romance in the making, aye? The Koss Porta Pros I just received have better sound quality than I remembered of my long gone originals, even before being properly broken in. The critical mid range where vocals and guitar and piano are most present is truly wonderful; rich, full, crisp & detailed. Sibilance and other anomalies are nearly nonexistent, while ambiance, atmosphere & sound stage are impressive. The upper frequencies are likewise well fashioned, supplying ample shimmer & sparkle, but not brittle. As pleasant as the upper range is, it should only improve after 50 or 100 hours of break in. Now the bass is a mixed bag. It definitely pumps out a full heavy thump if that's what you demand of your skull speakers. I prefer less bass than is the current fashion, although a pair of cans that can deliver brain rattling sub sonics is not contrary to my ethos. I just don't need it as desperately as younger ears do. That said, I could hope for better low end definition in these Porta Pros. Bass drums and low end cello's sound a bit muffled and soft, lacking natural acoustics. This, too, may change as they break in, I'm hoping. The bass isn't BAD or even disappointing, it's just not quite as competently executed as the rest of the sonic spectrum. I only make this point to assist those of you who are in the market for bass monsters, which these are not. Fit is also a mixed bag. They're so light that weight isn't a consideration even after a few hours of constant use. However, the thin foam ear pads provide the absolute minimum of cushioning, and within 30 minutes of use I became aware of a very dull ache on various points on my ears. The headset's pressure can be adjusted, and set on "Light" they are slightly less tight on the head and ears, but I may have to try releasing some of the pressure by carefully bending the metal headband by opening them up wide, repeatedly. I'm going to wait to attempt that delicate operation in case they ease up on their own from use. If I do have to adjust them I'll be careful not to over-bend them; the thin metal bands might lose their elasticity if I overdo it. The cable is very thin, but it seems durable enough, not chintzy, and it transmits zero noise to the ear pieces. The plug end is reinforced nicely with the cable extending at a 45 degree angle which I feel is the best formation to reduce wear & tear on that critical point. The in-line volume slider works very well and does not change adjustment on its own as I first feared it might. The microphone is, um, adequate. Not great. It's actually pretty bad if you're speaking with any wind or background noises. If you hold the mic right up to your mouth and speak more quietly it's intelligible and passable. I left a few messages on my home answering service testing different conditions, and holding the mic almost to my lips produces the least annoying, most clear sound. Their appearance is just as distinctive & unusual as they ever were, which I like, especially now with the classy Shiny Gold & Matte Black styling. The included semi-hard zip-up case is a very welcome & useful addition, and the soft leatherette pouch is a pleasant bonus. So far, I'm more than pleased with this latest iteration of that trusted long lost friend, and I'm guessing they're just as happy to be reunited with the older, better version of me. Sure they are... ... show more

  • Great Sound for a good price!
Color: Rhythm Beige
I LOVE these headphones, they sound pretty good and are super lightweight. For context I have the Sony WH-1000XM4s that I wear pretty much every day and lately I find my self prefering the porta pros over those since these are so light weight and the sound difference isn't drastic. I'm are able to relax and lounge around with these since I don't have these big bulging headphones on my ears. I like that I can still hear around me to so they are great for grocery shopping, walking, working (there is some bleed out so I listen at a lower volume at work). They look so nice too I always get compliments on then when I wear then around. I like being able to adjust the volume easy and I can wear them a fairly long time (as long as I don't have my glasses on). They are kinda cheap feeling but they are also cheap headphones (I got them on sale for $30) so I was really just looking for somthing light weight and stylish since I don't like the way earbuds feel in my ears. As said earlier if you wear glasses these headphones can be kinda rough on your ears after only 20 minutes, but I like them so much that I'm getting contacts just so I can wear these longer without having to walk around blind. I did buy some ear pad replacements when I bought these so I never actually tried these headphones with the base pads. ... show more

  • Wait a minute Doc, are you telling me you built a time machine out of a DeLorean?
Color: Rhythm Beige
I have to be honest. I initially bought these because I thought they looked really rad. I mean, they really do. It's like they came straight out of the 80s (because they did, Koss has been making this model of headphone since 1984). What I wasn't expecting is how good, no, TOTALLY EXCELLENT these sound. First thing to note is that these are open back, which means that not only can you hear most of what's going on around you, but in some cases what you're listening to will also bleed out. This means others will sort of be able to hear your music or whatever. Not really a con for me as I like to remain aware of my surroundings and honestly the bleed isn't so bad that it would bother anyone. Just worth noting. Build quality is great. Initially you may look at them and think they feel cheap, but I assure you they are really sturdy and well built. The plastic and metal components are designed to be lightweight and portable (as I believe these were originally designed to compete with Sonys original offering that came with the Walkman). Now because they're so light they're also VERY comfortable. At times I even forget I'm wearing them. They're also very adaptive to a variety of different craniums thanks to the unique "comfort zone" tabs to adjust the tension on the ear pads, and the sliders to expand or contract the metal headband (try to adjust the headband BEFORE putting them on. They can pinch your hair if it's long). Oh did I mention these can also fold up for easy storage? So cool. Sound quality is also out of this world good. Again, you may not think much of them as you take them out of the box for the first time, but rest assured these punch way above their weight. Speaking of punch, these things have some seriously punchy bass. The sound is rich and silky with refreshingly balanced highs and mids. Subjective, but you may want to bring the highs up a tad on your EQ because the bass response is so good. Other features worth mentioning are the accessories. The limited edition colors come with a volume slider and inline mic which sounds clear as a bell. They also come with an imitation leather pouch and a nice hard shell case which the headphones comfortably fold up into (the standard color runs only come with the pouch). All in all these things are fan-freaking-tastic. The lack of any kind of noise blocking/cancellation might be a turn off for some if you're going to be using them in a noisy place, like an airplane or loud work site. Otherwise it would be extremely challenging to find a better set of headphones at this price point. Do yourself a favor and grab these. You will not be disappointed :). ... show more

  • Fine, But Overhyped
Color: Rhythm Beige
- Complete lack of any kind of user manual. There is no guidance on how to optimally use the headband adjuster or the ComfortZone mechanism. No matter the product, the user should be given a manual. - If you have a buzz cut or shorter hair, the headband might snag your hair if you adjust the headphones or when you go to take them off. God forbid you try to put the headphones on your head without adjusting the band first. - I don't know what all this hype about "comfort" is. Sure, they are lightweight, but the ear pads are so thin and small that they place uneven pressure on your cartilage. This is probably worse if you have larger ears like I do, which leads me to another complaint - the little hook that is meant to keep the headphones closed when you fold them up is located directly between the temple pad and the ear cushion, and this hook likes to rub against the helix of my ear. When looking to resolve this issue, it seems many people purchase the Yaxi pads upgrade. If the headphones are not as comfortable as the claims by default, they should not be 5 stars. - The cable feels like it will break more easily than a dry piece of spaghetti. I get they are supposed to be lightweight and portable, but this has got to be one of the cheapest and most flimsy feeling cables I have ever had on a set of cans. 20$ Apple Airpods have a thicker cable than these do. - The sound quality is fine for the price. If you have any experience with high quality headphones then these might sound a little dim. Some might characterize this as a "warm" sound, but to me they just seem to lose clarity in the high mids and highs. For example, in the track "BIRDS" by Turnstile, the high hat starts playing around the 8 second mark, and it is incredibly difficult to hear this in these cans. Another example, in the song "Of Matter - Proxy" by Tesseract, the guitars and bass muddy the mix so much that it is very difficult to hear the arpeggiated synth part. Last example, in the track "Mr. Clean" by Roy Hargrove, the snare does not have as clean of a pop and the horns are not as crisp as they are in some of my other headphones. Overall, they sound ok - I just want to lay down what you should expect if you have experience with other headphones. ... show more
