Broken KOSS Porta Pro. Addressed to KOSS.

So, I don't know how I will get the right person at KOSS to see this but either way, I made this video because even if I'm a but clumsy and the price of these headphones isn't that high, I don't think it's okay to expect them to break after 1 week.

-UPDATE-

I sent them all to my local KOSS dealer and got them all fixed! Thank you so much KOSS :D
Peace out dawgz

I ordered a pair of these a few days ago. I hope they are not a part of a manufacturing problem that seem to have plagued yours.

And those red/black and all-black ones are sick. I wish they had different colors in the States.

@AsianMarck Hopefully they're not, but be careful with them either way, don't bend the chord too much close to the jack! They should have the different colors over there too... thought KOSS was an american company?

The connector on mine broke while in my iPod(metal part actually came out); I replaced it with an aftermarket jack and then a couple months later, the cord at the speaker came loose, where I just sent it in for repair/replacement. Got to love the warranty. Though, I must say they lasted pretty long considering the abuse I put them through.

Did you ordered all of yours from Swedish sites? I've been thinking of getting another set(diff. color would be nice) and just having it re-cabled.

@knieban Good that they lasted that long for you, another pair of mine broke just yesterday... only 6 pairs left lol.

I think I pretty much ordered all of them from Swedish sites yes. I suggest getting the black or the white ones, love them!

[hoyKEBIN]

where did you buy the ones with the red inside instead of the blue? ive been looking for those for a while!

[Ajnav]

@hoyKEBIN I don't remember, but most likely a swedish site..

My brother got one pair for 4 years and he uses them every day :)

I just broke my 3rd pair. Everyone of mine though broke where the cable goes in the headphones. I opened the cups, soldered off the cable, cut the cable then soldered it back on but seems the headphone cables nowadays are not like the old ones. Once these cables break its like they are done and cannot be repaired :( I REALLY like these headphone, but I think I am going to start looking at other brands unfortunately :(

@Ajnav Yeeaaa... from what I've read on the internet KOSS is an American company, but looking around the interwebs again I think Porta Pros are particularly popular in Scandinavian countries and that is why you guys have different colors. The only recent different color here was the Porta Pro 25th Anniversary Edition which is all-black.
