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

Yes, they look strange. Yes, they look like a futuristic design from the 1980s--and indeed, they are from the 80s.

i bought these....and was out of town when they came. Once i used them...the right headphone had terrible scratchy sound....impossible to use...however because i was out of town during the return time....i could not return them. these are going in the trash.

The massdrop version of this products has a better cable and includes a microphone but still a banging product!

They are not comfortable to wear for a long time. The blue adjustment tabs on the sides (firm to light) didnt stay in the light position very long. And the foam covering didnt last long either. Theyre OK, but I wouldnt buy them again.

Great headphones. Delivered quickly and at a great black friday price. Thanks!

Having KSC75 for travels I thought this will be more or less the same but with more comfortable wear. But no. ABSOLUTELY another sound - no trebles at all, bass is overloaded and not springy (it is like boo-boo-boo mess). A vocalist trying to sing through the pillow. Total disappointment. Construction is nice but cathes your hair sometimes.

How many other things can you say have been around for decades without any substantial changes? Theyre still cheap and flimsy. Theyre still borderline uncomfortable. And they still sound shockingly good. In a change of pace from most inexpensive headphones, you wont need to boost bass on these, but they will benefit from a touch of extra sparkle in your treble EQ. Dial that in and prepare to be amazed. And then prepare to buy a few more because yours will inevitably fall apart. To my aging ears, theyre even more forgiving of the digital age than they were back in the 80s with all the Walkmans (Walkmen?) I used to have. Once, their lack of sparkle made tape hiss less of an issue, now it does the same for compression artifacts. They will not beat your full-size cans or your fancy IEMs, but that doesnt mean theyre not still a delightful freak of nature that you wont regret having in your headphone arsenal.

I absolutely love these headphones. I keep them folded up in my backpack so I can use them on the go. They have beautiful sound quality and I love the style.

This unit was not designed for the heavy user. The person who uses it all day and takes it on and off. Not built to last... They have good sound, but their design could be improved.
