Reviews around porta pros (4.76 of 5)

  • these headphones are smaller than i expected them to be but that is why they are called "Porta Pros"
  • The Porta Pros feel flimsy, and the metal band gets caught in your hair if you try to adjust it.
  • I replaced them with the Porta Pros, and I can recommend them VERY highly
  • However, these Koss Porta Pros will remain unchanged and popular
  • If you are on a budget or hard on headphones, stick with the Porta Pros

Reviews around bass (4.32 of 5)

Reviews around pair (3.14 of 5)

  • The last pair I just bought a month ago already lost sound in one side
  • After those broke I wanted to get a good, relatively cheap pair of portable headphones and decided on these

Reviews around problem (2.18 of 5)

  • The only problem is leaking, and that's to be expected with open-ear headphones.
  • The problem with the earbuds, of course, is the discomfort that always seems to follow after relatively short periods of use
  • No problem, Koss will replace that bad boy like no big deal
  • As my music taste is eclectic, I listen to everything from Metallica, Classical, R&B, Rap to Oldies and these headphones don't disappoint
  • Headband design could be better but this only a problem when putting on teeh headphone and adjusting them,

  • It's been 15 years since I last time get a pair of this bad boy
  • I was skeptical that it was going to have no bass, boy was I wrong
  • I am a audiophile and a avid B&W listener at home but for anything outside you can't go wrong with these

Reviews around plastic (2.01 of 5)

  • Upon opening the package the headphones seemed flimsy and fragile being they are made with hard plastic
  • Miniplug connector shorts out and earpads keep popping out of their cheap plastic plates.
  • At first glance the plastic and metal seems a little flimsy
  • The only thing I think the Portapro's could improve on are comfort and perhaps a removable/replaceable cable(s
  • The plastic on the headphones is a little bit cheap and it broke in one place once, so Koss gave me a new pair.

  • If I get sound, I try not to move, because if I do I lose the connection
  • Awesome bass n treble for the price, only problem is others get to.hear light sound when u hear at 75% of Max vol

Reviews around bud (1.95 of 5)

  • These are the best if you especially hate ear buds for their unreliability for staying in ear
  • I use it when I want that big sound but don't want to disturb the neighbors, and I don't want to hear cord noises from my isolating buds.
  • As my music taste is eclectic, I listen to everything from Metallica, Classical, R&B, Rap to Oldies and these headphones don't disappoint
  • If you hate ear buds, these would be a good "outside ear" choice for portable use.
  • I watch movies, etc. on my laptop and these are much better than ear buds.

Reviews around bite (1.83 of 5)

  • In comparison to the Sennheiser HD202s, the Porta Pros are every bit just as good.
  • But I do prefer a tiny bit of aural distance from the outside.
  • Distortion is a bit higher than premium headphones but, at the price these headphones do not fatigue.
  • The mids have a decent amount of detail but the muddy bass bleeds the mids out quite a bit
  • Excellent warm sound, a bit bassy but not enough to ruin the experience, not at all.

Reviews around wire (1.74 of 5)

  • OUTSTANDING - after 50+ tested - no joke - this is best for money for Gym, really over 100+ headphonesKoss PLEASE use better wires - only issue I run into when running hold player in left hand and wire in
  • You have to cram the headset and wires into it...and it felt like the wires would eventually break from the abuse
  • The wires are fragile and can handle only so much bending before they break and you loose sound in one ear
  • Incredibly thin wires supporting such a good pair of phones.
  • The wire is the flimsiest, cheapest I've ever seen, even for a headphone

Reviews around cord (1.69 of 5)

  • Only down fall is the cord is a little flimsy, do what the cool kids do and wrap it!!
  • and that's how twisted the cord gets after a couple of months of use
  • The cord appears to be made of cheap material; inflexible
  • Only "issue", if you could call it that, is the cord is a tad short, but that's not enough to knock a star off
  • The sound is still crystal clear and has great range, the cord is sturdy, and the foam pads have yet to show any wear and tear

Reviews around hair (1.63 of 5)

  • A vibrating hair can sometimes sound like a 'tick' or distorting audio, so if you hear it, remove the foam pad and gently blow in there
  • The metal band also pinches hair from your head if you adjust it whilst on your head
  • is that the way the metal band is designed with two pieces it can pinch your neck hair when sitting around your neck instead of on your head.
  • I'll let you know if they pull out my hair, but so far so good in that respect
  • Also, I have had my hair get snagged while adjust the band during wear
