The cable of my old PortaPro failed after only six years of daily use :-)

Also the cables are weak and broke for me

UpdateIn 5 months of usage, their cable from the 3.5mm jack has broken on the inside

I feel the cable could be delicate, but I haven't had any issues with it yet

However, the cable failed where it connects to the 3.5mm plug

For example, the cable nearest the jack can easily be broken off if you accidentally pull on it too hard (which may be common considering it's a portable device)

My only complain is the rather short cable.

Koss has a great headphone at the price, but putting better cables is needed.

They have a lower price point and sound almost as good as the 60s but are much more compact and portable without the huge unwieldy Grado cable in the way.

I'm just really disappointed in these, primarily with that stupid cable that they chose.

The cable is not durable, but you can't beat lifetime replacement warranty

With the Porta-Pros, because of the metal headband the cable split is outside of the earcup, so you've got the "Y" and a very rigid, kinked cable that always ends up twisted around inside the pouch when you pull them back out

The only thing I think the Portapro's could improve on are comfort and perhaps a removable/replaceable cable(s

Great service for replacing bad cables after continues 5 years of being used

I have owned 4 of these headphones & every one has developed problems with poor cables

the cable is built in like the ones in cyber cafes

A thicker cable would be more durable and wouldn't twist as much.

My only complaint is that the cable feels fragile.

excellent as before

As my music taste is eclectic, I listen to everything from Metallica, Classical, R&B, Rap to Oldies and these headphones don't disappoint
