Koss hit a home run with the PortaPros. Love or hate the design, there's no denying the sound quality here: they're the ideal companion for mobile audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts.

Considering their price point, it’s really hard to ask much more of the Koss Porta Pros. Not only are they extremely portable, but they’re comfortable, and have good audio for about $50, and that is one heck of a bargain if you’re looking for entry-level headphones.

I have been faitly pleased with these headphones. I paid around $30, which is a great price given how good they sound. The construction could be better, since they are a bit fragile, and the metal adjustment band can get caught in one's hair. The pressure adjustments on the sides are not very...

I once had the opportunity to listen to an audiophile's stereo, Bowers and Wilkins 802 series speakers, McIntosch amplifier, and other stuff I don't even know yet. The sound was flawless and felt like I was really there. Ever since then I fell in love with the experience looking to...

I love Koss headphones, and the PortaPro's are some of the best headphones ever made. Not only are they cheap ($30-$40), they rival most headphones that cost up to 5x as much. They are very comfortable. There range is phenomenal. The only down fall that I can think of is when I used to have...

After reading the reviews for these on Cnet, I thought I would try them out, figuring they would sound pretty good, and $40 seemed like a reasonable deal. When I got them for Christmas, I was blown away. Nothing else even compares to how great the PortaPros sound, it was like discovering all of...

Fell in love with these headphones when occasionally borrowed brother's iPod back in 2002 and since that times I'm a devoted fan of this model. Basically impressions I got at that moment can be described by a feeling of presence at a place my then current tune was performed at. These Koss can...

I am in love with these headphones. After a year and a half, I maintain these are the best sounding and most durable headphones that $30 can buy. The sound that comes out of them surpasses any traditional earbuds, or cheap headphones. I will not compare them to in-ear headphones as I do not like...

I love these headphone, enough said. They sound phenomenal, look great, are light weight and just great all around. The build quality leaves a little to be desired but this would make them weigh and cost more. Probably the best all around headphones I've ever owned. They are my daily drivers and...
