Porta-Pro Folding Headphones Reviews

• Fantastic headphones

  I've owned a pair of these for about 5 years now, both at my desk at work and while walking. Most people either put up with substandard performance of the ones that come with their music device, or buy a set of $20 headphones and are happy with the mediocre sound. I bought these for the sound quality, and haven't been disappointed. They sound _great_. The sound rivals anything under $70-$80 (especially if you like rock), has plenty of bass and good response overall. These even sound better than the Bose noise-cancelling headphones, though that's not saying much.
  
  My one complaint would be that I use mine so much that I've managed to break off the plastic covering the wire solder, and have had to get (free) replacements. Buy a pair, hook em up to your CD/tape/mp3 player, and enjoy.

  I've had mine for 2 years, use them exclusively for my laptop when everyone in the house is asleep and I want to play a game or listen to a radio stream, mp3s or youtube. These rate a 5 on comfort, which is my main concern. I can't legitimately comment on the sound, since I'm no audiophile, but I've never noticed any problem with the sound. They're not really "noise-cancelling," but that's good for me...I need to hear the baby monitor. I'll probably buy a second pair for the office.
  
  

• Forgot How Great These Are

  I had a pair back in High School in the 80's used with a Walkman. These are very lively compared to Sennheiser PX 100's. If you prefer classical music then I would go with the PX 100. From Pop, Hip-Hop, Jazz and Rock these are the best for sound and definitely price for Ipods and MP3 players. I thought about a pair of Grado SR60's but these were much cheaper and more portable. Who wants to walk around with a six foot cable? Trust me guys, these are the one to buy. They bring out the passion in your music.

  these koss headphones can be seen all around paris, everyone has them here. the sound is really good as well as the feel to them, easy to transport because they fold in. and they look great on your head. i use them with ipod and also to record my demos.
  
  

• Started out ok, then broke

  I bought this a couple years ago and used it for about 1 year. The flimsy padded earphones fell off which made the headphones unusable. The headphones advertised that prolonged use would be more comfortable than traditional pairs of headphones, but I found it uncomfortable, especially for gaming over an hour's time.
  
  Although, the portability was an interesting option, I rarely found any use for it. The adjustable feature however, was a nice feature, at least for short periods of time.
  
  Bottom line: if you're looking for a portable headphone unit to use for music or just for short periods of time (under an hour), then it would be adequate and may possibly alleviate the strain that other unadjustable headphone units may impose. If you're looking for something to use for gaming or for longer periods of time, I would look elsewhere for your needs (possibly the Logitech Internet Chat Headset).
