Koss Porta Pro

Pros: Koss really delivers an excellent sound with great dynamic range and excellent bass response.

Cons: Classical music is lacking a little something over headphones.

The Bottom Line: If you listen to MP3s on a portable player, the Koss Porta Pros really help to deliver the best sound and put the music in your head.

Review: We need headphones. It's hard to bring a quality pair of speakers, an amplifer and CD player with you to the gym or out for a walk or on the subway.  Thus came along the Sony Walkman which has evolved into the Apple iPod.  It seems that ...

Pros: Inexpensive price, punchy bass, Portability, Great with low powered devices

Cons: May find bass exaggerated, Catches hair easily, Dorky styling

The Bottom Line: Need it for on the go?? Buy this Now!! Look no further. Sony and the rest are not worth it.

Review: I walked into a J&R and a salesman showed me his personal pair of PortaPro's. I then proceeded to hook my iPod to the portaPro's. Whoa. I was sold like that. Sound Quality: The bass in the beginning seems uneven, and even a little bit exaggerated, ...

Pros: Lightweight, comfortable, long cord, foldable, lifetime warranty, and most important, amazing sound!

Cons: Moderately expensive for portable headphones

The Bottom Line: Vastly superior to any headphones that are on the racks at Wal-Mart or wherever... these PortaPro's are amazing. Only for those who want brilliant sound--and who doesn't?

Review: I purchased these on the advice of HeadRoom (www.headphone.com), who recommended these as a superior alternative to standard headphones. And for about two years, these things lasted through my time at the gym, work, and traveling to and from. The Koss...

Pros: Sublime sound performance. Light-weight, portable. Durable. Affordable!

Cons: sound leakage, not very fashionable

The Bottom Line: Throw away these plastic round things that resemble stereo-phones and get the portapro from Koss!

Review: I bought those headphones 4 years ago and they changed my listening experience for life! I've never heard better sound quality. Not to mention the comfort and ease of use and portability. I paid around 60$ at an electronics local store in Quebec, Canada ...

Pros: Good bass, comfortable, compact folding design

Cons: None as yet

The Bottom Line: Well worth the money. Give it a try. At $20, you don't have much to lose if you don't like them.

Review: I've been looking for headphones like this for a long time. As an admitted bass-aholic, I've been routinely let down by other headphones. Over the years, I've bought and used so many of the highly recommended headphones. AKG K-240, various Sennheisers, ...

Pros: Incredibly clear,distinguishable highs+lows,never distort. Foldable.

Cons: Campy, 80's look. Flimsy, badly crafted earpieces. Easy to break. Wire not long enough.

The Bottom Line: Incredibly sound quality you have to hear to believe. YOUR HEADPHONES SUCK COMPARED TO THIS ONE in terms of sound quality, bar none.

Review: I bought these speakers before going to Cuba when I bought my portable Mp3-Cd Player, made by Koss as well.

When I first attached the phones to the player, it seemed like the maximum volume wasn't very high and even though the bass was clear...

Pros: The most sublime acoustic experience you'll ever get from a portable headphone.

Cons: Incompetent design may require you to seek emergency medical attention.

The Bottom Line: These headphones only get the thumbs up from me because I value my music more than I do my personal safety.

Review: The sound quality of Koss's PortaPro headphones is indeed sublime. My first experience of these headphones was like having music seamlessly streamed into my tertiary auditory cortex. So it is no wonder that they are now the stuff of legend. ...

Pros: Comfort. Sound. Comfort. Sound. Did I mention, comfort and sound?

Cons: People will give a double take. Weak cord connection to earpieces. Not good on plane.

The Bottom Line: Very customizable comfort - especially if you wear glasses or your ears stick out a little, but good for everyone. Incredible, excellent sound. Lifetime warranty.

Review: The fact that Koss has had the Portapros in their product lineup for well over a decade, without changing, means something. Unlike many reviewers of these types of things, I tried a few headphones here and there, but really spent months looking for ...

Pros: High quality, Superb sound, lightweight and compact.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Forget expensive, bulky headphones. The Koss PortaPro delivers fantastic sound, plus they're light, inexpensive, and durable. Some of the best headphones every manufactured!

Review: I've had my Koss PortaPros for at least 15 years (I think it's closer to 20). The foam covers wore out a few years ago, but those are easily replaced.

The owner of a high end stereo store persuaded me to get them. He claimed that they were the...

Pros: Amazing bass, tight crisp highs, great value for price

Cons: 80's design, somewhat tight for those with big heads

The Bottom Line: Sounds so good you won't care that they look like they fell out of the 80's. Absolutely amazing!

Review: These still amaze me. I bought them after searching the web for reviews of portable headphones with good bass. You can scour the web and the only negative thing you'll hear about these PortaPros is that they're not the most stylin' phones around. They ...
