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

I have worked in audio/video setup and in audio booths where we use studio monitors. I am a musician as well. I am cannot professionally review this headset but I do feel qualified to share my input regardless. I enjoy listening to music in my free time. I have spent nearly $200 on IEMs in the past only to not be fully satisfied. My favorite value pair of any listening devices WAS the Sennheiser HD558. My favorite pair is now the Koss Porta Pro. Let me tell you why.

I had these headphones for about a month and was very please with them. The sound is fantastic. However, while useing them, they fell off my desk to the floor and the right headphone broke off. I was shocked that a simple 3 fall would render them useless. Also I agree with other they could use about another 1 of cord lenght. I would recommend them if you can be very carefull with them.

a classic old-school design with an impressive, open sound - highly recommend

I like these because you get a good sense of stage presence, but somehow it is off center. Also, the bass seems muddy and lacks any tightness. Thats probably due to the open air design, but it makes the mids and highs sound disconnected from the lower frequency sounds. I will keep them because they are open air and I need to hear sound around me as I listen at moderate volume, but I would not choose these for anything near critical listening.

I bought these headphones last week right here on Amazon after seeing all the rave reviews for these headphones all over the web from both users and critics. With shipping and taxes, they cost around $60 - nice and cheap.

Gute Kopfhörer und gute Soundqualität

I personally owns a few headphone.

They broke within the month. Typical headphone shorting/channeling issues/ have to fiddle with the plug. They have a warranty that Im not going to pay 12 dollars shipping for.

Lasted a little over a year. Was expecting more for the price, but they were good while they lasted. The cable frayed at one of the speakers, so that seems like it was a manufacturing defect. Expected better.

These headphones are portable yet have the best sound and bass Ive heard in headphones period! At least for ones within a $50 price range...
