Overall amazing pair of headphones especially for the price!!!

I recentley broke my orginal pair

I've had too many pairs of these to count because they break so easily

These are a cool pair of headphones to own

All in all, this is a true classic - if you're down with the retro look, you'll find a solid, great sounding, comfortable pair of headphones that rivals pairs twice the price.

I had a pair of these years ago and loved them

I truly loved my pair of koss portapros, but hated their disposable nature

Somehow I've managed to lose these headphones over and over again throughout the years, for example my last pair I left in the seat pouch in front of me on a flight.

Great pair of headphones

I went from a Sennheiser HD201 to these sweet pair

So pay forty bucks now and have a great pair of headphones for the rest of your life.

I have a nice pair of Sennheiser noise-cancelling headphones I can't always wear due to headaches from the noise cancelling feature

I own a "classic" pair of these headphones dating back to the early-90s, and I really loved them

Not only did they not sound as good as my old pair, but they barely lasted a year with light use

My first pair broke but these are lifetime warranty, sent it in and got a working pair within a week or so

Get past the plastic look and discover a great pair of inexpensive headphones that could cost three times as much and still be the best.

The 1st pair, 'went a missing' (probably wrapped around my ex's head)

I've been looking for a good pair of supra-aural headphones under $50 - the problem is that circum-aural ones are too big, and normal supra-aurals hurt my ears after a while because I wear glasses and they pinch

But despite this, you get a very reliable pair of headphones that provide good bang for your buck in terms of sound and quality

After those broke I wanted to get a good, relatively cheap pair of portable headphones and decided on these

and I’m obsessed with having a reliable, clear-sounding pair of headphones that plays everything well

I've broken mine four times now and each time I always send them back for the warranty since a $10 replacement is much better than opting for a cheap $10 pair of terrible headphones

They are not the most comfortable pair out there but that can be adjusted

I had a pair of these and broke them then sent for another pair,the replacement pair was not made the same and don't sound as good as my old pair,these are made more cheaply by far and are not near as good as there old model

Now they may not be as stylish as a pair of beats

Excellent pair of headphones

Eventually I lost that pair and bought a second pair recently (a few years later), and again the cable is broken after just a month and a half of normal use

Pick up a pair and enjoy!

I was looking for a comfortable pair of over-ear headphones to replace my last pair, and these have blown my mind

The new headphones seem to be just as well made as the older pair

Whether you want a cheap good pair, like these PortaPros, or a studio set, you can't beat Koss's customer service.

The best pair of headphones I have ever owned

After buying about 5 more pairs of headphones and not liking the sound of any of them, I got my 3rd set of Porta Pros and played random songs at medium volume constanly for days to break them in and have been using them for about a year now without any problems

The lifetime manufacturer's warranty sounds great, and I am sure it is if you purchase a more expensive pair of headphones, but the company needs you to pay to ship it to them and include $9.00 for return shipping.

Meanwhile my old, cheap pair of Sennheizers still work fine after 20 years.

And contrary to some posts, they sound just as good as my previous pair did

Very handy pair of headphones

They have everything you’d want in a good pair of headphones:- Clear, balanced, BEAUTIFUL sound, with excellent but not overpowering bass.- Lightweight and compact but durable.- Incredibly comfortable with lots of adjustment options.- Light on the ears so you can hear what’s going on

My favorite value pair of any listening devices WAS the Sennheiser HD558

Shut up, buy them, and listen to a great sounding pair of affordable phones.

For under $50 (I snagged a pair on sale at $32) you get a portable headphone that provides crisp clear sound with just the right amount of bass, neither overwhelmingly tubthumping nor under (bass heads should obviously look elsewhere)

This is the third pair of these beauts I've owned (lost previous pairs...)

Because I have a more expensive pair of over-the-ear cans, I have limited opportunities to use these, but I don't regret buying them at all.

BUT if you want a great pair of headphones that don't break the wallet get a pair, its no wonder why these headphones have been around since 1983 and look like it to, cause sometimes you just don't need to change a great thing.

and I'm surprised that an otherwise good sounding pair as these were (but not great) would be matched with such an unsatisfactory bag as far as size is concerned

This really kills the volume in Goolge Play Music on my Nexus 5 which isn't all that loud in the first place, so I use an external amp and the sound is great.31Hz to +1 / 62Hz to -6 / 125Hz to -7 / 250Hz to -5 / 500Hz to -1 / 1KHz 0 / 2KHz to -1 / 4Khz to +5 / 8KHz to +3 / 16KHz to +9I now use the Porta Pros mainly at work in combination with my Nuforce uDAC-2 and it's an excellent pairing that gives a really impressive sound.

and I'm surprised that an otherwise good sounding pair as these were (but not great) would be matched with such an unsatisfactory bag as far as size is concerned

Cheaply made or I just got a bad pair

Buy a nicer pair of headphones.

If you're looking for an inexpensive pair of on-the-ear headphones, these are worth the little bit extra that you'd pay versus buying an el cheapo pair from a big box store.

I bought these because my sister had a pair and loved them, and because LOTS of people online highly recommend them in the price range

The last pair I just bought a month ago already lost sound in one side

Sound Quality: I have a studio for a radio, very different from recording, but I rely heavily on having a flat response and a strong pair of phones.

I didn't want to pay more than $30-40 for headphones, but these were a significant upgrade in sound from my previous (cheaper) pair.

These sound really good for an inexpensive pair of headphones

It took 7 years and a class B (hydraulic oil) fire to destroy my last pair, and the 7 years weren't any easier than the fire.

I have a great pair of Klipsch earbuds, and those are fantastic for running

Not one pair has ever failed on me but the cord will become stiff & hard and difficult to untangle after about 12-18 months

Despite its untimely death I'd still recommend the pair

while searching for an inexpensive pair I could keep at the office without being too terribly worried if they 'went for a walk'.

Amazing, my second pair

Meanwhile my old, cheap pair of Sennheizers still work fine after 20 years.

Whether you want a cheap good pair, like these PortaPros, or a studio set, you can't beat Koss's customer service.

Amazing pair of headphones for the $$$

Fantastic pair of Headphones

The second pair spontaneously stopped working in one ear

These headphones are super lightweight and comfortable, easily the most comfortable pair I've ever owned

I had a pair of PX-100's that eventually died and had been using Koss PortaPro's as a replacement

Easily my favorite pair of headphones I own right now, and I have some pricey ones

My first pair was a step down from these and failed where the cord meets the iPhone

I had a pair of these and broke them then sent for another pair,the replacement pair was not made the same and don't sound as good as my old pair,these are made more cheaply by far and are not near as good as there old model

One pair was with defect and I broke upper clips with a very first move

For such an inexpensive pair of headphones, I couldn't be happier

I purchased my first pair 3 years ago, and after they recently failed, Koss honored their warranty and shipped me out what seems like an entirely new pair.

Previous pair had a channel (side) finally not work so could only hear half the sound

Secondly my pair lasted longer than any other set that I have had and when they finally broke, I sent them back to Koss with 9.00 for

My wife once offered to buy me a "better pair" of headphones as a gift (she genuinely thought these were a junkyard bargain)

This is most common with the jack that is NOT angled like the one I purchased here.- After prolonged use you start to feel the push from it on your earsTo conclude, this is a great pair of headphones to bring with you on a long flight or road trip, considering that it can easily fit into a jacket pocket or backpack

After those broke I wanted to get a good, relatively cheap pair of portable headphones and decided on these

Bottom line: If you want an affordable and good sounding pair of headphones the Koss PortaPro's could very well be for you

They are a good pair to have if you listrn to Metal music and has good

I'm kinda hard on stuff and destroyed a few pairs, but the price, size and sound of this model keeps me coming back for new ones.

Great pair of knock around headphones for the home

I truly loved my pair of koss portapros, but hated their disposable nature

They fit like a good pair of gloves and the sound is superior

All in all, this is a true classic - if you're down with the retro look, you'll find a solid, great sounding, comfortable pair of headphones that rivals pairs twice the price.

In short: If you need a spare pair of 'phones or even a single pair for most situations (probably not great for exercise, however; dunno), you really can't go wrong with these.

My first pair broke at the headphone jack after 3 weeks of use

This is my second pair I have purchased (lost the first pair :()

I have a pair of cheap Panasonic earbuds that have been going for YEARS with no problems, even though I frequently crumple them up, stuff them in my pockets, and toss them around haphazardly.

They sit well over the head and on the ears~ Couldn't have asked for a better quality pair of headphones, especially at this price!

You can wear these effortlessly for as long as you desire, and if you are so inclined, they can also serve as a great pair of headphones to fall asleep with

Incredibly thin wires supporting such a good pair of phones.

Incredibly thin wires supporting such a good pair of phones.

Made in Mexico (not China)You can't go wrong with it if paired to any portable device.

Whenever mine break I'm getting another pair!

For an inexpensive pair of headphones, these KOSS produce plenty of high quality sound

I haven't had a more comfortable pair with good sound in this price range.

If you are looking to buy an amazing pair of headphones and don't want to pay for a celebrity name buy these headphones.

They have very solid value for money in terms of their sound quality, but I've never had a pair last more than two years before one of the earphones loses sound

I dont know if they changed the way they are manufactured, but this new pair was super mediocre.

But overall if you're on budget for a reliable pair of headphones you can't go wrong.

I have a great pair of Sony 7506's for podcasting / studio environment, but these are so great for work and travel

but I could have put 20_30$ more and got a better pair.

A good solid pair of headphones

while working out (had a pair just like them for almost 7 years).

For the price, these are a great-sounding pair of stylish headphones that are surprisingly well-made

Let me count the ways:This pair of headphones is my favorite pair of portable headphones I've ever owned (just barely edging out my Sennheiser headphones I owned for years)

Even so, good sound can save an uncomfortable pair of phones

I'd rather look elsewhere for a more durable pair of headphones that cost more than have to deal with having to get them fixed/replaced so often.

I did not buy these on a whim, and nearly bought about half a dozen other, more expensive pairs before I settled on the PortaPros

I bought a pair of these about 7 years ago and really liked them

Overall, a nice pair of headphones

We made sure to use them lightly, but still one pair has a problem at the connector base so one of the ears does not work at all (shorted out)

My favorite pair is now the Koss

Lost the first pair and replaced them.

have two pairs of these now and they work great - light, don't squash my head (mine's on the large side, too), and sound quality is excellent, outstanding for the price!

Overall, a great pair for the price, and the portability just makes them that much better

If you're looking for an inexpensive pair of good quality headphones, these are definitely for you

Now just a couple weeks ago my pair went bad.

This is an exceptionally comfortable pair of headphones

I first purchased my fist pair of portapros approximately 23 years ago and I still remember how good they made my walkman sound

And should you every break them in the future, you can get a brand new pair for $9 with the lifetime warranty.

Overall its a very good pair of headphones for the price

Now granted you still hear some of the things going on around you there not noise canceling, but for the quality they bring and the price point your hard pressed to find a better pair of headphones out there

Honestly very impressed by the size of the sound stage with their open design, I feel like I'm wearing a pair that costs hundreds more

You can wear these effortlessly for as long as you desire, and if you are so inclined, they can also serve as a great pair of headphones to fall asleep with

If you need a cool pair of headphones, but don't feel like paying top dollar for one, these are a good alternative.

I wish I would have just paid an extra amount and got a better pair that would have last longer

A very lovable pair of headphones, I recommend them to anyone.

These are a grate pair of cans and they do deliver in quality

Anyway, I wanted to get a cheaper pair of portable headphones to use at the gym,

If you need a decent pair of headphones that sound better than, say some apple earbuds, and if you can get past the overall look of these headphones, then make the purchase

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
