Product Description
For nearly 25 years, the Kos Portapro has been a folding headset designed for professional listening performance with portable audio devices. With new MP3 player and iPod use, the Port-a-Pro is even more popular for those seeking a comfortable alternative to earphones. Elevate your listening with Portapro. First introduced in 1984, this high quality portable stereophone set performance and comfort standards for personal listening worldwide. Over the years, much to the delight of devout Porta Pro enthusiasts, we've preserved the original design and performance that made the Porta Pro a portable music icon. Today the Porta Pro remains the headphone of choice for the discriminating listener. Designed for those with refined musical acuity, the Porta Pro continues to be the most user admired portable headphone for discriminating listeners who prefer a light headrest over earplugs. The Porta Pro features dynamic elements that deliver exceptionally rich, deep bass and a remarkably wide frequency response from 15-25,000 Hz to capture every nuance in your favorite movie or musical performance. Constructed from mylar, the elements are extremely rigid, minimizing mechanical distortion and ensuring exceedingly accurate sound reproduction. Neodymium iron boron rare earth magnet structures enable the Porta Pro to deliver greater volume so you can hear every note, even when competing against the sounds of a commuter train with a low-voltage MP3 or disc player. Oxygen free copper voice coils improve signal transmission and conduction for cleaner, clearer sound. Foam earcushions provide an open, hear-through sound that lets you keep in touch with your surroundings perfect to wear while running, at work, or while traveling. 4 Feet Long wire with miniplug

The open-earphone ear plates are multipivoting and, together with the adjustable headband, allow for maximum comfort. The PortaPros are collapsible and come with a carrying case, so it's still easy to take them with you even when you're not wearing them. A 0.25-inch adapter is included to ensure they will fit with any system. Koss offers a lifetime warranty on its PortaPro stereophones.

 Great sound quality September 4, 2010

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 September 3, 2010

Seems like more than half the headphones you see on the Paris Metro are Koss PortaPro. They sound great for the money.
 Great sound quality, be ready to replace the connector. August 30, 2010

First, let me say that these headphone are extremely comfortable (once you get used to putting them on, takes some time to learn how to do it without snagging your hair) and they sound extremely good (among the best sounding sub-$200 headphones I have ever owned). Second, let me say that unless you are willing to replace the connector, you should shy away. It will break, you will have to go to radio-shack, you will have to solder a new one on. If you don't want to do that then don't buy them. I still recommend them to anyone willing to spend the hour or so patching them up because they really are the best headphones for travel in the world. You can tell because people have been buying them over and over again, despite this flaw. They really are that comfortable and that good-sounding.
Fantastic August 29, 2010

I own several sets of headphones from $30-$300. Everyone should own a pair of these. They sound fantastic for the price.
Great headphones. Would easily buy again. August 28, 2010

I've had these headphones for a couple months now. The sound is beautiful and the design is awesome-retro-stylish (new word). I use these all the time at home or at school. The bass is perfect and the sound doesn't leak out into my surroundings (when playing at a comfortable level).
Only issues:
Hair gets caught in headband: Easy to deal with when you change the way you put them on. (Adjust them before you lower them on your head.)
Case: Really just a faux-leather bag. It is too small to hold the headphones but I put my Zune HD inside it for safekeeping so that all worked out.
Metal Headband: It gets really hot outside in Arizona, but that's really only my fault.
It's a great product, totally worth the money, and the best set of headphones I've ever listened to or owned.
