Description
Versatile headphones for any activity The Koss SportaPro portable headphones offer portability, flexibility, and a headband designed to be worn either atop or behind the head. Equally well suited for use at work or on a jogging trail, the SportaPro's open, foam-covered ear cups allow for ambient environmental sounds to be heard, which can be helpful in a recreational environment. The SportaPro's weight is a mere 2.2 ounces, and the headphones boast a frequency response of 15 to 25,000 Hz, delivering (on paper, at least) quite a bit more bass than most home speakers can. Impedance is 60 ohms, with less than a 0.2 percent distortion and sensitivity of 103 dB SPL (with a 1 mW signal). The SportaPro stereophones are collapsible and come with a carrying case, as well as both 0.125-inch and 0.25-inch jacks. Koss covers the headphones with a lifetime warranty.

These headphone are great for jogging. The sound quality is superb for the price. The build quality is quite good as well. I was looking for a good headphone for running. I knew I didn't want in-ear monitors as they are very uncomfortable for me and I don't like the fact that with most models you can't hear your surroundings very well, which I believe is very important when you are running on a road. I also didn't want ear buds as the sound quality is very subpar. In fact, the bass response in ear buds are so bad that it forces you to turn up the volume to higher and the higher until the high frequencies end up damaging your hearing. The Koss SportaPro is an on-ear open headphone. This allows for you to hear your surroundings, while at the same time enjoy airy and dynamic music. Talking about sound quality, I am very impressed. These headphones sound well above their price range. If you were listening to Apple ear buds like I was before getting these, you will know what I mean when I say it's like getting a whole new set of ears. The bass is tight and accurate, but can get a little muddy when pushed to the limit. Where these cans shine is in the midrange. It is even, transparent, and dynamic. Unless you have had a great pair of speakers or headphones in the past you will be surprised at how many notes the Sportapros will dig up that you have never heard before when listening to your old favorite tracks. The highs aren't too shabby either. They hold their weight and were surprisingly clear and soft for this price bracket. The build quality of the SportaPro is solid while light weight, which makes for a very good exercise pair of headphones. They are built to last. The top band, believe it or not, is metal. There are also 2 metal clips that hold these cans together when you fold them up. They could have just put plastic clips on there, but Koss seems like they are serious about quality and went the extra mile on this one. The one caveat seems to be the cords that go into the drivers. They are very thin and have no bend protection. I'm not sure how well those cords would hold up if you got tangled and it got tugged or if bent the cord a certain way every time you folded them up. Overall, you truly can't beat these for the price. It's amazing what Koss has done with these to make them so affordable. I wasn't necessarily looking for great sound quality when getting a pair of exercise headphones. I just wanted something comfortable and sound quality that wouldn't necessarily make me want to throw up. Even after all the great reviews, I was surprised at the performance level of the SportaPros. These are an excellent buy.

Sound quality: I directly compared this with the Sony MDR-ZX300AP Sound Monitoring Headphones (2x the price) and pair of Panasonic light weight headphones (1/2 the price). The Sony and this Koss had fantastic sound quality. Of the two the Koss was better, first it had greater clarity of sound and spoken word was more distinct and less muddy. Additionally this one was louder at he same volume setting. All else being equal a louder headphone indicates more money was put into the magnet and sound coupling efficiency-- hinting at the good engineering. The slightly cheaper panasonics were no match in sound quality, compactness, construction quality, though they get good marks for being the lightest (and thus highly comfortable for casual listening) ergonomics Unlike the typical modern style of headphones this one has a plain (adjustable) spring metal bar over the head. This was actually slightly more comfortable than the Sony for the simple reason it gripped my ears more firmly so the top bar did not have to sit on my head-- something I find to be very uncomfortable. Now I've have more comfortable over the ear cans with padded head bars and also even more comfortable on ear ones as well but these were quite satisfactory while being much less bulky or heavy than heavily padded cans portability The spring metal is not to make it cheap but is actually an engineering innovation. First, it's adjustable and heavy duty. This is to support the feature that when you fold this thing up you can compress then head bar. it becomes a tight coiled spring and there are two little hooks on the ear peice hinges that hold it tightly coiled. The ear peices then hinge into this folded state and the whole thing fits in a the tiniest space I've ever seen for headphones with only two hinge points. (your typical folding headphones either have more fiddly hinges to break or are novelty items with fragile plastic swivel joints that won't hold up to travel abuse in your backpack. others that use the same spring metal style are more flimsy and usualy cheap all over/) The only thing on these that looks flimsy is the foam ear coverings. They are thin, feel delicate and I expect I will tear them or they will oxidize and wear out. I see they actually sell new coverings so this is probably why. Styling Now the styling of these is definitely weird and combined with the metal head peice makes them look throwback if you set then next to a beefy Beats or Bose headphone. But I'd say the engineers defintiely triumphed here. It sounds good, it is rugged, it's compact and it's reasonably comfortable. The price is remarkably low for such quality. Conclusion: They put their money in these were it counted. They stole design styles from cheaper headphones but toughened them up and paired them with quality components. I really wasn't expecting these to be better than the Sony monitors but they were. these of course can't match the audio isolation of a quality branded over-the-ear noise canceling headphone but for $20 these are as good as you can get.

Short version: sound great, design/construction is a little awkward, surprisingly durable. Great sound for the price. Long version: First off, let me say that my review is based on a pair of SportaPros that I've had for 6 years. These bad boys sound great--far better than anything else I've tried in the same price range. Most significant, in my opinion, is that they have what many headphones seriously lack: bass, and lots of it. Some reviewers say they have too much bass, and while this may be true, it's preferable having too little. It's easy to tweak EQ settings to tame heavy low frequencies, but if your headphones can't reproduce said frequencies, no amount of tweaking is going to help. Other than the bass, things generally sound really good. They don't compare to numerous $100+ studio headphones I have used for music and audio production over the years, but again, they knock everything else in the price range (that I know of) out of the park. The design is a bit odd. These headphones can be worn with the band over the head or behind the neck. You shift between the two "modes" by rotating the earphones ninety degrees relative to the band. I find behind-the-neck mode to be extremely uncomfortable and never wear them like that, but the ability to rotate the earphones helps to compact them when carrying in a bag/suitcase/etc. They are pretty comfortable when worn in the usual over-the-head position, and the small cushions on the inside of the band keep them from irritating the sides of your head. I've definitely worn more comfortable headphones, but in this mode, these ones aren't bad. The materials look and feel pretty cheap, and I'd not have been surprised if they had fallen apart after a few years of regular use. Surprisingly enough, however, I've had them for 6 years and they are still in great shape. I'm not too rough with them, but they do spend a lot of time unprotected in my backpack. The band has bent slightly, but not enough to be problematic. I've replaced the ear pads once, after the originals had worn down enough that they had become uncomfortable to wear--they never actually tore off, as is common with cheap headphones. You can buy a set of 6 replacement pads for about $4, so this isn't a big deal. All in all, this is a great product. Excellent for the price. It focuses on sound quality over build quality, but the build quality is pretty decent too. And yes, they are pretty ugly, so take a good look at the picture and make sure it that isn't going to bother you.

The more I wear these headphones, the more I appreciate them. **Sound Quality** The sound quality for the money is pretty fantastic (we're talking $20 headphones here). If you compare them to a pair of over-ear cans at a higher price range, prepare to be disappointed. For a good pair of cheap all around headphones with good bass, these fit the bill. They definitely lack in clarity, and there is mid-range detail you just won't hear. **Comfort** The more I wear them, the more I like to wear them and forget they're on my head. Clamping force with a pair of over-ear cans is usually an issue for me, and causes headaches. With this on-ear design I don't have that issue (the strategically placed pads above the drivers tend to help). **Build Quality** God awful. I transport them in a hard case as I do any other pair of headphones I own, and I wrap them up tight as they were designed. Paint is already coming off the headband, and I'm always afraid I'll break them every time I put them away. Again, overall they're supremely good for the price. For a *cheap* pair of on-ear headphones, they fit the bill. I actually like these better than my PortaPros, because they don't pull all my hair out constantly. But they don't compare to any of my serious headphones (night and day difference). They're convenient and cheap though, so I'm happy with the purchase.

I recently purchased a pair of the Koss PortaPro and the Koss KPH30iW as potential replacements for my broken Sennheiser PX-100s. I love the Sennheisers, but I didn't want to spend $150 to replace them. So I tried these inexpensive phones on the outside chance they'd meet my needs. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of both. I ended up keeping the KPH30iWs and returning the PortaPros. While I think the ProtaPros may have a bit better sound (more clarity and separation across all frequencies) than the KPH30iWs, I found them very uncomfortable. If the phones slip at all, the wire band cuts into your scalp. It only took a couple minutes of wearing them to decide that they wouldn't meet my needs. Great sound. Poor comfort. I kept the KPH30iWs and really like them. I've read they have the same drivers as the PortaPros. I'm not sure if that's true since I think there is a small drop in sound quality from the PortaPros. But the comfort level is exponentially better with the KPH30iWs.

The SportaPro has a dirty little secret. The Sportaro literally uses the same exact drivers and housing as the KSC35, but instead of attaching the KSC35's clips, they attached the SportaPro headband. Here's my head-fi review 'snippet' of the KSC-35 which IS the same as the Sportapro: KSC-35, the more mature Koss clip-on that was discontinued and then brought back (only on the Koss website), for a pretty hefty $45. I'd say it's hefty because it honestly should cost just slightly above the KSC75 range, not 3x as much. They sound very similar to the KSC75. However, they are fuller sounding, with fuller bass approaching full-sized type bass, and the mids/vocals are very rich and forward. Treble is also quite neutral for me, not being too smooth, and not too sparkly. I actually am quite fond of their treble. The KSC75's treble is harsher, grainier, and more fatiguing. The mids on the KSC75 are slightly laid back, while the KSC35 presents them up front and more fleshed out. In all honesty, you can say the difference between the KSC75 and KSC35 is like the difference between the K701 and Q701. One is brighter, drier, and thinner sounding, while the other is more natural, and fleshed out. All in all, it's a solid sounding headphone, that does work very well. Bass was strong but quick due to the open nature of the headphones, but slower than the KSC75. Based on sound alone, I'd say the KSC35 is a headphone you could use for hours without fatigue. Kind of like a smaller, more bassy HD650. Nice tonal balance that I don't think anyone would dislike. The Koss Sportapro houses the same drivers as the KSC35, for less than half the price. You can literally buy the Sportapro, snap off the drivers, and snap the KSC75/35 clips on to the Sportapro drivers, and you have a cheaper KSC35. Ideal solution is getting the Sportapro and KSC75, putting the KSC75 clips onto the Sportapro drivers. This will save you $10, give you BOTH the KSC35 and KSC75 as a spare, and give the most comfort, IMHO. Just make sure to bend the KSC75 clips to place the drivers closer to the ears, as stock form may place the drivers too far, losing bass and overall sound quality. The more popular alternative, is to buy the cheap Parts express headphone (http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Stereo-Lightweight-Headphones-feet/dp/B0002KQZJS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1371458925&sr=1-1&keywords=parts+express+headphones), taking off the crappy drivers, and using the headband for the Koss drivers. I prefer the Koss clips rather than the Parts Express headband, but I'm in the minority.

These have it all for the price - fidelity, fit, and durability. I owned a pair of these, managed to lose them and then promptly re-ordered them. FIT: They just stay on (via tension of the spring metal and a pad just over the ear). FIDELITY: I use these primarily on my iPhone (Music, Spotify, and Podcast apps) but have listened to them in various scenarios (street, subway) and they always make the grade. DURABILITY: This pair has been with me a while and I try to slip them in their case when they go in my bag, but don't always. I'm pretty sure I've sat on them a couple of times. I even broke the ear-piece off of the main housing and then just super-glued it back on. Here's the thing, I FIND THEM GREAT FOR CYCLING. Why? When riding ear-buds might be a good fit, but are a total no-no because they block outside noise (and we all know the Apple headphones are low-quality). The sound on the SportPros is great and.... I can hear what's around me. With my helmet ON (always) they manage to still grip my head (with the "bail" rotated down 90º to my neck). I get that some people might not like this arrangement as it might make their ears a little sweaty - to me it's worth the sound quality and all the other advantages I've mentioned.

My puppy chewed my old ones- so I began researching.. I didn't want to pay crazy money and from all reviews I read- these seemed best. I don't like any that go in the ear- at all.. they are uncomfortable, fall out & give me a headache after an hour. Thought Id help people out since I wasted the time w all this research! _________________________________________________________________________ I love music- all types, and am also an exercise fiend.. I wear headphones cleaning, working out, dancing etc- so I need comfortable ones you can wear for hours, sound good, stay on & don't give you a headache. _________________________________________________________________________ COMFORT: Ive had them for about a week so far and they're great for me. Very lightweight. I'm used to the ones that kind of cup your ear- but other than that- they're VERY comfortable, cushiony, they stay put, -which is AMAZING as you fitness lovers know- I can run, kickbox, lift- they stay on. (I do wear a bandana tied around them over my head though) The foam does get a little sweaty after a workout, but show me a pair that doesnt. _________________________________________________________________________ Sound= Pretty good, I use them only with my Ipod.. which lets you play with the EQ. House,trance,rock,classical, etc sounds good... I like my music loud, and for ONCE I actually don't have to keep it at max level. For the price you pay the sound is great. It can be bassy, which I like anyway- but if you're looking for crystal clarity from a headphone then I would just invest in a sound system! ;') I don't think for a sporty light headphone- you can get that amazing of sound. _________________________________________________________________________ Also a note- I think if youre worried about "disturbing" other people - the sound might leak thru- Im not really concerned with that but some may be. The cord is fine- not too long where it gets caught up in things as my others did. I also really like that you can wear them over & behind the head- as well as the collapsing feature.. comes with a little case. . I'm pretty happy-
