I am massively impressed.,
by xcb, 2010-09-06

I ordered these after reading the reviews. When they arrived from Amazon, I wasn't expecting much. They don't feel particularly solid. They're ugly. Before sticking them on my head, I felt as if I had fallen for a massive joke.

Then I put them on my head. Well. They're actually comfy. Hm.

The sound? Better than the $150 Sennheisers I bought. Amazing. 25+ years of having every kind of headphone on the planet, and these sound perfect.

And they're not as cheap as they look. I've slept in them more than once to no ill effect.

It looks like I've finally found the headphones I've always been looking for.

 

Excellent headphones, especially for the price!,
by rats, 2010-09-06

These headphones were recommended to me from a posting I made some time ago. These are very portable, a good design (easy to pack up), and they provide very good bass for the price. Of course, I'd like even more bass, but I tend to want it to be boomy which most people don't like.

 

Best bang for the money,
by DSM, 2010-09-06

I bought this item after going through so much research. I was interested in this because it is in CNET's top 5 and so many good reviews in Amazon. So I don't think one more elaborated review is not necessary but I want to focus on some issues specifically.

1)comfort: I bought a sony MDR-XB500 (for it's extreme comfort and good sound quality) after I buying Koss PortaPro thinking that Koss is pressing my ears too hard because, my ears were paining after listening for couple of hours. Afterwards I noticed that pain is not because of the pressing alone but because of the high bass from KOSS. If you listen at little less volume it shouldn't be a problem.

2)Mechanical issues: There are glides on the Headphone for light and Firm wear but when I put them in light mode they just don't stay there. They come to firm position once I touch the phones. One more thing, unless you pull the metal bands to the end they try to collapse. This is not an annoying problem for me because I have a big head. Slowly my ears are used to this, and I can listen for longer times and I am listening at low sound levels. So I changed my decision to return these and I am keeping them.

Just to list the Pros and Cons I experienced.

Pros: Best sound quality, light weight, portable, extra bass (you love it),
Cons: Design not up to the mark, Mechanical issues like glides not staying in their position. Extra bass (You can hurt your ears).

 

Great sound quality,
by scrab, 2010-09-04

The Koss Portapro headphones have a great sound quality and are very comfortable. That said, the headphones are smaller than what they look in the pictures and the design is pretty good, when you fold them they become manageable. The construction doesn't look very durable but there is the life time guarantee.

 

PortaPros very popular in Paris,

Seems like more than half the headphones you see on the Paris Metro are Koss PortaPro. They sound great for the money.
