Koss PortaPro Headphones

[MrWtfstfu]

who hired this idiot?

[Twiggyay]

The fabric cable bends a lot at the jack and it's just a matter of time before the cable loses its connection, however, lifetime warranty takes care of that.

They usually last 2-8 weeks with use every day.

I'm on my 8th pair now.

[idem0n]

I've owned mine for like 6 months... and the right speaker is blown already. It has this buzz/scratch sound during bass....

So mad!

[aoxilus]

I bought them, and my 20$ sony sound actually better...

[MrMsAyaChan2010]

SQUISHY!!!

[AwesomeSauce64]

those other pads don't even touch my head!

[raduz123]

At the risk of sounding shallow, I gotta say im not a huge fan of the looks of these things. Don't get me wrong I love sound quality and it's the most important thing but if im going to be wearing something out in the open I want it to look cool, shallow a lil but would you guys go the ball in your gym gear?

[UnchainTheNight1]

would these be good for use with a home stereo? i keep hearing about how great they are for portable music, all i want is to listen to cds and vinyl through a stereo

[EmeraMixx]

@UnchainTheNight1 Yes. As stated in the video, they have great sound quality, and they plug into both an iPod/MP3 Player and a home audio/stereo system.

[RKTologist]

i got huge melons will they fit me?

[razr2142]

@RKTologist lmao good one..

[Exarian]

and 3. they are a surefire way to get an ear infection.

[Margrim]

lifetime warranty? pfff, that warranty only cowers the sound-elements and not the cable wich is the part that always get broken, and the cable on these a WEAK i tell u!

[Gramsdaman]

pfft, who needs hair when you can have PORTAPROS!!!!

[crator007]

@Gramsdaman You are talking bullshit, my parrot chew off my porta pro's cable, i send them to the warrent and i get brand new ones in two weeks.

[Gramsdaman]

@crator007 when did i ever say anything to upset you?

[crator007]

@Gramsdaman You didn't upset me, go away :)

[kooslap]

I'd been reading about Koss PortaPro from reviewers on the net...I needed a "I don't give a rat's @ss about what happens to my headphones" kind of headphones because I needed them to run/jog outside. Went to a local store, tried them out and FREAKED at how they compared to a few of the other sub-$200 headphones they sold (Sony, AKG, Grado, Sennheiser). For the price, the Portapros sounded JUST AS CLEAR and even CLEARER, MORE BASS, GREAT spatial sound, much more comfortable than the sub $200.

[kooslap]

@kooslap ... ran out of space :) I would really recommend the PortaPros...it has easily became my favorite low cost headphones. I could wear it for hours without feeling any kind of hurting pressure on my ears thanks to the extra set of foam strips just above the ears. The headphones are also foldable (they collapse for easier transport in a small pouch that comes with it too). It also has a lifetime warranty. Definitely worth buying for the price and quality of sound you get.

[BroWhatever]

I had these for one day, and my left headphone went.

But my new pair came today, and everything is back to normal.

[javiersuarez15]

i have one of those and i have NO idea how to get the headphones inside the bag.

[BenjaminNBS]

Definitely getting me some of these - this model is older than I am! Classic 80's design & quality-made by all accounts.

Sweet!

[aasd5]

New mini-plug (for iphone 2g) sucks! It is weak. And all that because iphone 2g. Koss should use old good L-plug!

[Orangetree991]

I used to have these and i was happy with them until i got sennheiser hd 595, which is a lot better!

[jesusKing123]

@Orangetree991 dude, how can you compare a budget-headphone to a headphone costs more than 200$?

[FinnishSprayer]

I have those on my head right now. They do rip my hair a little. that's annoing.

[sangolt88]

Why choose PortaPro:

1. Great bass

2. Lifetime warrenty

[mikkjela]

@sangolt88 If it werent for the LifeTime warranty... We would all be Fucked :P

Cuz it starts scurring after using them 2 months GODDAMMIT!!

[tandis97]

got a red in x-mas its really good

[xXiN5aNeXx]

dont get these they rip out you hair

[Toonami2000]

@xXiN5aNeXx I have no hair!! hahaha

[Recologyx]

crap man I love my koss but now one side stopped working :S anyone know how to fix this please?

[jaypsns]

Probably a broken cable on one side, not so easy to fix

[Recologyx]

ok and now I get no sound from right or left headphone so what's wrong now? I hear sound if I move the cable around but I need to hold it still or the sound stops working

[jaypsns]

Yeah your cables are both broken

[Recologyx]

is there a way to fix it? or should I just throw em away

[jaypsns]

Ehhh, you can fix em but it's difficult unless you've done something like it before, I'd just get some new ones

[marlo916]

they're supposed to come with a lifetime warranty. try to send them in for repair.

[FCule]

LOL!!

Just buy a new one.

[joness105639]

Lifetime warrenty dude. Send it back to koss. they'll fix it for ya.

[Recologyx]

where do i send it?

[OrangeJuice1337]

They have a lifetime warranty... contact Koss.

[TheNiceUsername]

can u use it on a Ipod nano 4gen?

[robboultimate]

i have them. had them for about 6 months now it only works on one side.

[ChocoMocoDiva]

NEVER put them in your pc. then the sound will be broken

[Longshot490]

what? I want to listen to music on my computer! was your pair just defective.. or what?

[spencerska]

lol, wtf that guys crazy, who u commented on.

[ChocoMocoDiva]

When i had my first koss, i putted them in my pc. But then, i could't hear the sound very much.

[krollaostmedburger]

they are like old 80s headphones

[layzer80]

these are the best bang for the buck when it comes to lightweight over the ear phones...

i love em...

[Islwynpaul]

What do they sound like you great melon?

[theSOUNDinterpreter]

"koss has taken earbud and headphone and made a hybrid" you just lost all credibility with that statement.

[backstroker4104]

ikr

[appcookie]

gr8 headphones on the mountain skiing! They ROCK! Good comfort and you don't have to worry about sound leaking obviously.

[thatsfancyisntit]

Those are great but, all Koss headphones are over based and thats pissing me of. plus the pads keep falling off!

[hellobooom]

over based??  huh?

[njudndudi]

i think what he wanted to say

they have too much bass ...

cheers

[inventioneer]

First introduced in 1984, this high quality portable stereophone set performance and comfort standards for personal headphones

i have worn these since 1988 if they break i send them back get a free pair just shipping lifetime warranty  these evout Porta Pro are awsome i have sat on computers for 9 hrs at work with them on try that with buds>>>not and the base rocks 15 hz

[brodersami]

You can't measure the bass performance of headphones by how low the frequency response is, retard.

[njudndudi]

you can cause for example skullcandy some of them go from 100hz and upwards and they hurt while listening cause theres nearly no bass and so much treble..

[brodersami]

skull candies are an exception since they are so shitty. Did you know that most subwoofers have a frequency responce of 30 hz and up? With your logic, the koss porta pros can deliver much more bass than a freaking subwoofer. Get a grip, there is much more to making headphones than lowering the frequency response. Besides, no human being can hear frequencies below 20 Hz, so that "OMG 15Hz!!!" bullshit has no meaning.

[njudndudi]

okayy you are right

i guess i had less information

=P

[shinobitech13]

i like these headphones. have good sound, BUT THEY ARE LEAKY AS FUCK!

[kookietur]

I have a pair , they sound so great kinda lift your favoritemusic up to a higher level. All kinds of music sounds great on these.

[pyrogamer]

The Porta-Pros sound much better than the PX100. People say the Porta-Pro's are too bassy, but they are very clear throughout, meanwhile the PX100's are way to emphasized in the highs.

The Porta-Pros really do just sound better throughout.

Of course, the PX100's are more comfortable to some people, who don't like the metal band of the Porta-Pros.

Having both, I find the Porta-Pros more comfortable despite the metal band, and the sound quality is much better, hands down.

[thecapone45]

dang, these earphones look, old wat year is this vid from?

[deepblue69uk]

HA HA HA HA HA! "No matter how gigantic your mellon might be!"

Great line....The Koss Pro porta design hasn't changed in over 20 years so thats why they look old. The video I believe is quite recent.

They are equal in quality to the Sennheiser px100. The Koss produces a little more bass though apparently. However, the PX100s are more compact in a hard case when folded.

I will be getting a pair of Koss headphones though. I quite like the retro look.
