KossPorta Pro Limited Edition On-Ear Headphones, in-Line Microphone, Volume Control and Touch Remote Control, Retro Style, Includes Hard Carry Case, Wired with 3.5mm Plug, Rhythm Beige

I bought this as a prop for a final project for my college semester, and I was really surprised by the audio quality. I'm now using them as my main headphones. I've been trying not to use bluetooth, and opt for wired headphones - but my neck will hurt by the weight of most headphones. These, however, are super light and comfortable. They even have a button where the wires interest to pause, play, rewind, fast forward and even to lower the volume. Very impressed.

Super cool retro look with new colors. PortaPros were already iconic! People commented on them a lot.

These are well built and the sound is very good for how low cost they are. I have $300 studio headphones and these have great sound for what you pay. I don't like using my cell phone next to my head or having wireless blue tooth buzzing my brain so I got these to remedy my paranoia. I use them to make business calls while also working on projects at the same time. Great headphones!

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.

I was surprised at the good quality of this headphones at this price. Has very good base full sound decent high and lows. The cord is decently long, but not too long. The fit is very comfortable and adjustable I’ve worn these for hours and have not had any discomfort.

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.

The phones are still nice, but I specifically buy Koss headphones because they were made in the USA. The ones I got at least were made in China, a big let down.I got them for 35 dollars, which was nice. I woulda paid 45 if they were USA ones.…..update, i bought these to listen to youtube music.. and it’s a mixed bag. They fare a little better with .flacs, but to be honest , i gotta say they seem like Junk since they have been made in China. Either my hearing has changed, or my old USA ones were better. Probably the latter.They just sound like all the vocals are muddled, especially female vocals.. like someone put a distortion on them.Dunno.. could be cuz my old ones were used with CDs, cassets, and vinyl. Not streaming and digitsl crap. There is a difference.
