## Description

From the manufacturer The Original Stereophone For some, music is a nice distraction. A thing to tap your toes to. For us, music isn’t a thing; it’s a place we go. We are the true believers. Koss has been bringing people closer to the music they love for more than 50 years. The first Stereophone (SP/3) in the world was created by John C. Koss and Martin Lange in 1958 and since then, Koss’ innovative products have gone from strength to strength with a range now including Full Size Stereophones, On-Ear Stereophones, In-Ear Stereophones, Ear-Clip Stereophones, Wireless Stereophones and Communication Headsets. Now, more than 50 years later….Koss’ creation has become a $2 billion industry, worldwide. Three principles serve as the foundation for the company’s success: The sound of Koss; focus on fit and breakthrough customer service. What do these principles mean? The sound of Koss: Musician, John C. Koss created “the sound of Koss” in 1958 and we have stayed true to it to this every day. The sound of Koss brings music back to life. Koss engineers are rigorous in their pursuit of the absolute best sound but it is the human listening experience that sets Koss apart. Focus on fit: We are obsessed with creating the absolute perfect fit – without it; we can’t get the perfect sound. We strive to create products that offer custom settings for every music lover. Our products couple to the ear – it’s just you and your music.

Review: WOW!!! Amazing sound and very comfortable. - Finally, I have found headphones that sound great and feel comfortable. I've bought many different headphones over the past two years, trying to find a pair that don't feel uncomfortable after 30 minutes of continuous listening. Below are two recently purchased headphones I own: Sennheiser PX200: They didn't give their full potential because they sit too light on my ear. They do sound great if you push them close to your ear though. Sony MDR-V300: Sound good with lots of bass, but sometimes I feel like I'm listening to music through a wall and they feel uncomfortable after a 30 mins. For the cheap price they're good. The Koss Porta Pro Stereophones are mind blowing. I really can't express enough in words how good these are and they sound even better now I've run them in. The sound is outstanding with superb clarity and bass. I personally don't think the bass is over done at all, it sounds well balanced. I mainly listen to Progressive, Uplifting, Melodic Trance, for example: Puma White - Copenhagen (Original mix) & Mike Foyle vs. Signalrunners - Love Theme Dusk. These headphones sound great with other genres too and really bring the music alive. The Porta Pro's sound magnificent when used with a computer installed with a decent sound card, but they also sound great with MP3 players. I use these with my Creative Zen Touch and they are far better than the supplied in-ear headphones. These headphones look very retro cool and in my opinion they are very cool indeed. They are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn (I've had them on for 3 hours and I'm feeling no ear discomfort at all) and I guess thats why the design has never changed since 1984. They look quite fragile at first but they are actually pretty sturdy. The Porta Pro's fold to fit in a small pouch embossed with KOSS which looks rather nice along with a 6.3mm Gold Plated Adapter which is a handy extra. Overall, If your looking for awesome quality and great value portable headphones that sound absolutely fantastic and feel great whether you're travelling, at work or chillin' at home then look no further than the Koss Porta Pro Stereophones. ★ UPDATE August 2013 ★ I've been meaning to update my review for the last few years and finally here it is. I must have about 5 pairs of these floating around now, along with my preciously preserved KOSS Porta Pro 25th Anniversary edition set stored safely in a secret underground bomb proof safe. I've accumulated quite a large collection of different headphones over the years and have reviewed a few here on desertcart. I no longer use the PortaPro everyday as my main home listening headphone, but they still accompany me on trips abroad, because they're great for the beach, as the unique comfort setting helps alleviate any ear pressure and discomfort caused by sand and seawater, and also allowing me to wear sunglasses comfortably. These are not great for commuting because of their open backed design. For home listening, I decided it was time to move up to some Sennheiser HD650's powered by a Graham Slee SOLO SRGII amp, which is quite a big jump, but they are the perfect headphone for home listening, offering superior quality sound matched with supreme comfort. Obviously, the Porta Pro can't compete with the HD650's, but they have a similar balanced and neutral sound signature which I always desire in headphones. My other recommended headphones, are the well reviewed and great sounding Audio Technica ATH-M50, which I mostly use for travelling. UPDATE Oct 2013: I'm now using the superb sounding Noontec Zoro as my portable headphone of choice, as the M50's are a little bulky for travelling. UPDATE August 2014: I'm now using the superb V-MODA XS. These are amazing! One important omission from my original review is the eventual occurrence of rattling emitting from the drivers (know as Grattle). This is caused by hair becoming trapped in the driver, which then produces annoying rattling sounds. To fix this, you'll need to take off the ear pad, then pop off the plastic driver cover (this is quite hard to do, but be persistent, as the PortaPro are very robust) and then use a rocket blower to remove the hair, you can also use a cloth or soft brush (like a Lenspen brush) if necessary, but be careful not to damage the driver. Even after seven years, the KOSS Porta Pro sit graciously on my headphone wall of fame and I can continue to highly recommend them for those looking for the best sounding, most comfortable and great value ultra-portable headphone money can buy.
Review: The Legendary Koss Portapro. A must have for any audiofile. - These are brilliant headphones for the price. They are well built and definitely durable. I bought these off desertcart after being duped on 2 occasions by a seller named mp3bits on play . co . uk. The experience was really frustrating. There are plenty of lookalike fakes floating around in the market. I put my faith on desertcart, and they lived up to it. Here is the best forum discussion i found on line to identify the fakes from the genuine ones. [...] The build quality may look like flimsy, but is rather sturdy. its a treat to listen to. They do sound a bit bright on listening to for the first few times. But after 3 days of burning in, they sounded much more pleasant, cut down a little on the high frequencies, and the bass was mind blowing. There is little or no flutter even if you crank the volume up on your ipod or iphone. I dont feel like listening to any other headphones for now. These are light, fit on the head very nicely and without hurting the ears. one could even jog or dance wearing these I suppose. I dont care how they look(the retro look), but there are plenty of good looking headphones in the market.. skullcandy being one of them, but they are only supposed to look nice, they take a beating from the portapros, despite being a few times more expensive, when it comes to performing well. Since they are open ear designed, in silent public places, people will be distracted cos of the sound leaking through the portapros. get ready to raise a few eyebrows when in such places. On the bright side, while crossing the road etc, or when someone honks, you do notice. So you are aware of your surroundings when there is an emergency etc. its pure bliss to listen to them. i have started hearing new instruments and sounds on tracks that i have loved over the years. the same was true for the Grado SR 80's. If its someone like me who wants to add one to their collection, or if its someone who wants to get a good replacement for the ipod stock earphones, this is where you start looking, and this is where you'd stop! You wont be disappointed guys. Buy it from responsible and well known merchants, and you will not regret buying a Koss portapro.. Infact its so good, you would be constantly tempted to gift it to friends and family.. just cos you wouldn't want them to waste time listening to anything other than these amazing Headphones. They are in the same league as the sennheiser px 100's, but the senn never fit on my head properly, cos i have a small head :), I love them too. But these are just better in every way possible. This headphone set had been on my wish list for quite a while. I like collecting headphones..current line up includes the Grado SR80, Sennheiser PX 100, 200, CX 500 and the Bose triport, AKG's and some more.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: In the box is says Lifetime warrenty, is that correct?**
A: In the UK the lifetime warranty is honoured by Hama UK. You need to return the item at your own cost and pay £5 for return postage and handling. I just returned my headphones for the second time in 9 years - first time the plug became temperamental and this time one of the units stopped working. They don't repair,  they send replacement.

**Q: Are these headphones suitable for heavy metal music (thrash/progressive metal in particular)?**
A: Hi ElvenLord : Sorry, I'm too old to give a specific answer for that genre. I can report on excellent results with old school such as Dark Side of the Moon and Tangerine Dream "The Sorcerer" but make sure your playback has a graphic equaliser app or feature. Also be aware that the range of size headband adjustment is ok but not marvellous.

**Q: Do I get the Koss lifetime warranty, if i buy these from you as oppose to the home site?**
A: Hama offer repairs in the UK and will do it under the lifetime warranty... I think you just need proof of purchase and a £5 handling charge

**Q: are these suitable for a kindle fire?**
A: Yes they work fine with my own kindle fire hd (2nd generation) as they both use 3.5mm stereo jack. This also means they will support most devices such as MP3 players and mobile phones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost Over-Amazing!
*by M***Y on 6 April 2012*

The Good side: Simply Impressed!! Bass is Rich, Deep and Sexy!! The Mids and Highs are very well balanced and of excellent delivery but I admit they could be slightly better; but at this price, you deserve way less. These headphones have the tendency to get better and better the more you use it...its simply wow! Can go Super Loud!! It defines truly portable with its sleek folding feature and custom porta-case and its temple pressure adjusting feature and cushion pads really seals the deal in comfort. Purchasing a pair of these is really a no-brainer!! Oh and I forgot to add....NO QUESTIONS ASKED LIFETIME WARANTY WHOOP WHOOP!!!! and it gives a really cool look too especially if you love retro-fashion. The kinda bad side : It doesnt FEEL as durable as some other competitors but i havn't had reason to say it isn't. The cable is comparitively short compared to some of its other competitors but it doesnt affect portability in anyway. Also its performance gets better with the quality of the sound card and output power of the device you use. The higher the quality of your device, the better the sound so for really really cheap mp3 players, you may not experience that Potential Super-awesomeness. The only truly negative thing i can say about these is that at high volume (75%-100%) on Laptops and (80%-100%) on smart-phones, they 'bleed': music you are listening to can be heard by others around you loudly so it isnt exactly monogamous with your ears like in-ear earphones (duh!!) but even at 50% volume these headphones give you that WOW without having to turn it up so high and maintain C.I.A-like relationships with your ear canals!! You can't go wrong with these if you're looking for an affordable headphone for daily or casual listening to audio files. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! Any questions? Simply contact me :)
