The Most Awesome Headphones

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2007
Review: I have the same Portapro Headphones that I was given with the purchase of a new stereo back in 1984 when the Portapro first came out. I love these things. They are 22+ years old and still kicking butt! They make every player sound better. They even...

The Necessary Sound Upgrader For Your Portable

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2007
Review: The Koss Porta Pro is almost the trademark portable headphone from the company. And I can hear why, these have good sound quality and are very well-rounded. They do sound slightly bass heavy, much like its little cousin Sporta Pros, but have much...

Decent Offering From Koss

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2007
Review: Koss is a very well-known company in inexpensive headphones. Every once in awhile they'll dish out something bad like the awful UR29, but most of their headphones are good value, like the Sporta Pro. The sound quality isn't the best you'll find for...

Amazingly Superior Headphones

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: Vastly superior to any headphones that are on the racks at Wal-Mart or wherever... these PortaPro's are amazing. Only for those who want brilliant sound--and who doesn't?
Review: I purchased these on the advice of HeadRoom (www.headphone.com), who recommended these as a superior alternative to standard headphones. And for about two years, these things lasted through my time at the gym, work, and traveling to and from. The...

Can you fall in love with your headphones?

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2005
Review: Unless you have a really expensive home sound system, really expensive car speakers, or really expensive headphones, you haven't heard music like this yet. The bass is extremely deep. I hate all the other cheap headphones that give a very harsh and...

Big sound in a small package!

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you have only $50 to spend on headphones, and you want sound that is way better than the headphones that came with your portable CD player, look no further.
Review: I bought these headphones at Best Buy in 1996 (that superstore no longer carries them) in an attempt to buy a pair of headphones that make my portable audio devices sound better. And I still use these headphones on a regular basis.

When I...

A BoomBox on your ears.

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: Need it for on the go?? Buy this Now!! Look no further. Sony and the rest are not worth it.
Review: I walked into a J&R and a salesman showed me his personal pair of PortaPro's. I then proceeded to hook my iPod to the portaPro's. Whoa. I was sold like that.

Sound Quality:
The bass in the beginning seems uneven, and even a little bit...

Big sound for the gym

Date of Review:  Sep 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: The sound of your music will boom, producing a quality sound
Review: I was surprised to hear these headphones when I first tried them out. They are advertised as fitness headphones with a big bass sound. The latter part is more evident than the fitness part. You get a big sound, a quality sound that was impressive to...

Fold and go with Koss PortaPro Headphones

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: These are lightweight, comfortable, folding headphones with very good sound and a good warranty. Although a little expensive, they are a good value.
Review: Why I was looking for headphones

I recently purchased these Koss PortaPro headphones after destroying 3 pairs of headphones in a year. I listen to audio I've downloaded to my HP Jornada 548 as I drive to and from work and walk between...

Blown Away By The Sound!

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you want state-of-the-art, faithful sound reproduction, buy these headphones today. You won't be disappointed.
Review: I read everything I could find about these headphones before I made the decision to purchase. My most important consideration was faithful reproduction of sound. Additionally, I wanted a headphone that was comfortable to wear.
When I first put...
