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

    • Metal bands at the top are prone to ripping hairs out
    • 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
    • I have lots of unruly hair and it get stuck in it.
    • My only gripe is that if you adjust the headband slides while on you head they can rip out a few hairs.
    • The comfort, however, is less than stellar (the steel band hurts the top of their heads after a while), and they do cause some pretty ugly hair tangles for the girls.
    • would have rated higher if i was not loosing hair every time i took them off....
    • Wild hair may get stuck in the sliding headband.
    • The metal band also pinches hair from your head if you adjust it whilst on your head
    • environment- headband may occasionally pull a hair; adjust the band BEFORE placing on head and do not adjust while on head to prevent this- occasionally a small hair may get stuck inside the driver causing a slight rattling noise; gently remove earpad and blow out the hair to fix- earcups pivot slightly for comfort, but mine developed a creeky noise when pivoting in the left earcup; sometimes audible during listeningConclusion
    • Many have said that their hair gets snagged in the headpiece.
    • I'm bald, so I haven't experienced the hair-pulling issue that some mention
    • One warning, if you're a long hair like I am these suckers will pull your hair if you're not careful.
    • but, long hair can snag in the metal bands if you aren't vigilant.
    • And while the headband does occasionally have a tendency to rip my hair out, the superior sound quality makes up for that light annoyance
    • Excellent sound quality, headband can pinch hair
    • If the band adjusts while you are wearing the headphones there is a good chance it will suck your hair into the band which isn't a problem until you try to remove them, which quickly becomes unpleasant when you realize what has happened.
    • And, as all other reviewers have noted, it will pinch your hair.
    • Yes -- you'll lose a few hairs in that odd headband, and it tends to collapse to its smallest size as soon as you take them off your head.
    • That way the metal band doesn't catch in my hair, though occasionally I do lose a hair or two (which isn't painful, just startling when it happens)
    • Also, I have had my hair get snagged while adjust the band during wear
    • As others have said, it's easy to snag your hair in the adjustable band, but only if you adjust them while on your head
    • 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
    • I find the PortPros to be comfortable to wear and to hear -- make sure to adjust the headband with the headphones off to avoid the notorious hair-pulling
    • Great sound for $$$$$ would definitely recommend to other users sometimes band pinches hair but not a big deal for me and my wife says they look a little
    • 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
    • As others have said, the headband can rip out a few hairs occasionally, but that is the only complaint I have.
    • i love these headphonesPros-excellent bass responseexcellent sound quality in generallightweightcomfortableConssometimes hair is ripped out by the band (a minor issue if you have short hair)rarely hair will get into the driver and distort sounds (ive only seen this once)other thoughtsit has a somewhat short cable, which is great for exercising, but not so much for home use
    • Be sure to adjust the head metal band BEFORE placing on your head or they will grab your hair...not good, especially for woman.
    • Your hair can get pinched when taking the headphones on and off, but if you use some finesse it rarely happens
    • The only complaint I have is that you have to re adjust them after every use and since there is no padding on the top the metal band snags my long hair.
    • But the headpiece snags my hair when I pull
    • it won't collapse anymore, but you won't rip your hair out
    • I love how easy they are to cary in my backpack as they fold up nicely.
    • excellent as before
    • I use them regularly at the office as well as when I travel
    • They are every bit as comfortable, sturdy, and impressive as the hype following them
    • cheap,I like it
    • The sound is great for electronic music as well as R and B/Hip Hop, and the base is impressive for these
