Reviews about Headphones Koss Porta Pro

Advantages: Nice to sit on the head, ears do not get tired. Velvety bottoms.
Disadvantages: The tops are not very good. The lifespan of headphones with active use is short.
Disadvantages: In general, the headphones meet expectations, they were taken to listen to radio channels, music or watch a movie on a tablet at home. It's nice to listen to pop, rap and drums. Very worthy for watching movies. Not very cool where the tops are important, not everything is discernible, in some headphones of the same price category the tops are much more pleasant. Since we have already bought the 4th set, it can be noted that in general, the life of the headphones is not very long – the foam rubber is erased, the wires are worn out. But for such a retail price, we consider it acceptable. They are unlikely to work in public transport, the sound insulation is weak. But the ears do not get tired and the environment is audible, just right for the house.

Pluses: Almost everything, especially the sound quality.
Disadvantages: Not found yet.
Disadvantages: At a price of 2400, there is almost an optimal price-quality ratio.

Khodosh lev


Advantages: Good bass, high – also flawlessly. The ears fit tightly on the head, but they do not press on the temples.
Disadvantages: At low temperatures (below 5), the wires at the entrance to the speaker emit an annoying knock, no matter how you wrap them up. It is better not to use the subway, anyway you will not hear anything except the noise of the carriage.
Disadvantages: Good for home, walking in the woods, playing sports. Conveniently fold up. Suitable for all head and ear sizes. I put 5.

Alexandrov Alexander


Pluses: Sound. Comfortable to wear. There are too many to list.
Disadvantages: Not very good soundproofing.
Disadvantages: I agree with everything that was said earlier. These are great headphones. Of course not without sin, but they have much more advantages than disadvantages. Here, excellent sound combined with the most comfortable design and construction for long-term wearing will allow you to enjoy any melodies, even during tense moments, without fear that they will fly off. They sit comfortably on their heads, they do not press on the ears. But the sound is a fairy tale. I've never seen anything like this before.

Pluses: These headphones are great for their size. They are quite compact when folded, but this is not their main advantage. They play amazingly. High sensitivity allows them to be used with even so-so phones – the volume will be sufficient, but I took them specifically for the iPod Classic, where I usually listen to Lossless music. The range is astounding for this size. If RF is predictable, then the ability to produce such low frequencies was simply surprising at first. I'm used to full monitor closed DJ ears like the Technics RP-DH1200 or at least the F880, but they don't feel like that. An extremely important feature of Koss is the creation of the scene. I have no sense of music in my head. The stage is wide, as if I'm sitting in front of good bookshelves. Despite the outwardly pop – they are great at Jazz, Funk, Blues and other not the easiest genres. The hotel plus is weight. It just doesn't exist. It is almost impossible to feel them on the head. Convenience is simply beyond praise.
Disadvantages: Disadvantages, of course, also exist. The first stems from their design – portability. They are open – so there will be problems in the metro – I only listen to podcasts in the metro. Second, the hinges after a while begin to creak and click. a drop of silicone solves the problem, but I have never seen headphones that need to be lubricated before.
Disadvantages: Probably some of the best ears I've ever used. A big plus is that for them there are spare parts for ear pads, both parolon and leatherette and even velor, spare wires are also available, and for those who use them with a phone there is an upgrade kit with a microphone and buttons on the wire. it is also worth noting that the manufacturer gives them a lifetime warranty.

Belov-Kovalevsky Andrey


Pluses: Do not shake the word at all. For many hours of battles – must have. For such seemingly unsightly headphones, the sound is amazing, super powerful bass.
Disadvantages: No disadvantages.
Disadvantages: How to use such, no more reluctance. I want to buy a second set for work.

Sivtsev Dmitry


Pluses: The sound quality is very good. Compactness, and the fact that folding is generally fire.
Disadvantages: Reliability at 3. Although it depends, I think, on the method of operation and modification.
Disadvantages: I bought it for the first time about 8 years ago, probably. then the sound quality amazed. They worked for me for about 2.5 years. I rubbed the wire into the left speaker, I suspect that I bent it unsuccessfully in the cold, since everything was piled up just in winter. I bought them again a year later (before that there were KOSS Sporta pro – subjectively the sound is worse). This time we worked for about 1.5 years, a wire was accumulated around the plug, the plug was angled and the wire was in a rag, the first was angular and the wire was in plastic. Six months later, I bought again, for almost 3k, a wire rag, a straight plug. We worked for 2 years, hooked the wire on the door handle and pulled it, as a result, the wire broke somewhere, as one ear immediately quieted down, and the second became quieter ~ 40%. Now they are the same, only red – metallic, bought on Ibei in the last NG, the wire is a reinforced rag, the plug is straight. They work for almost a year without any complaints. But it seems that the sound is slightly worse than the previous ones. Although it may be just age-related changes in perception. It is not possible to solder the wires here, if there is no experience and a normal soldering iron, since the wires are thin as hair. Ears periodically hurt from them. That is, the auricles themselves, if worn for more than 4 hours in a row. I suspect this is due to the shape of the ears and the way the headphones are attached to the head. For sound quality. In general, the thing is very subjective, and depends not only on your ears, but also on what, where and what you listen to. So I wouldn't recommend 100% straight. If possible, it is better to listen, and then make a decision.

DrNikeRiwera


Pluses: Excellent sound and sound insulation. I liked the fact that they are quite durable, although they wear out over time. Best of all is portability and a great case from KOSS (leather)
Disadvantages: The input plug wears out very quickly
Disadvantages: For the price, the best on the market.

Dmitry Nikonov


Pluses: Awesome sound. Very powerful bass. Sits comfortably on the head. Neither ears nor head get tired even after a whole day of wearing. They do not fall off the head even with active and crazy extreme cycling (you can change the effort from comfortable to strong). The most comfortable headphones in the world. Just devilishly good.
Disadvantages: Hair may come out of the head when removed (often gets stuck in the headband resizing mechanism)
Disadvantages: You can use it at home and do parkour at least. I have been using it for 8 years. Once I stepped on them and broke them. I bought the same ones. They cost their money.

Kondratovich Svetlna


Advantages: Decent sound, comfortable, lightweight, reliable, have an original appearance.
Disadvantages: The wire is quite stiff, the ear pads have a limited margin of safety. The metal headband catches hair occasionally.
Disadvantages: I bought it back in 2010, I still use it, 8 years of trouble-free work. During this time, I changed the ear pads 4 times, 1 time I repaired the plug. The headphones lay on the windowsill for a year, the wire hardened, maybe from the sun, maybe from the cold. I also use HyperX Cloud Stinger, and Sony MDR-EX15LP
