For context I have the Sony WH-1000XM4s that I wear pretty much every day and lately I find my self prefering the porta pros over those since these are so light weight and the sound difference isn't drastic. I'm are able to relax and lounge around with these since I don't have these big bulging headphones on my ears. I like that I can still hear around me to so they are great for grocery shopping, walking, working (there is some bleed out so I listen at a lower volume at work). They look so nice too I always get compliments on then when I wear then around. I like being able to adjust the volume easy and I can wear them a fairly long time (as long as I don't have my glasses on). They are kinda cheap feeling but they are also cheap headphones (I got them on sale for $30) so I was really just looking for somthing light weight and stylish since I don't like the way earbuds feel in my ears. As said earlier if you wear glasses these headphones can be kinda rough on your ears after only 20 minutes, but I like them so much that I'm getting contacts just so I can wear these longer without having to walk around blind. I did buy some ear pad replacements when I bought these so I never actually tried these headphones with the base pads. Review: As great as I remember my original 1985 pair. No, Greater! - I had a pair of Porta Pros all the way back in the mid 80's that I bought mostly because of their unusual design, but I soon came to love them for their amazing sound quality, especially considering the ridiculously low price. I enjoyed those little suckers for many years, maybe 15, until they finally decided to get up from my office desk and go home with someone else. Fickle bastards. So it's been at least 15 years since we parted ways and I'd all but forgotten about my old pair of Porta Pros, but while I was recently hunting around for a new pair of headphones to replace the latest set to also elect to be adopted by a stranger I stumbled upon this desertcart page, and I was reminded of the great times I'd shared with that long-ago-runaway pair. A true Hollywood romance in the making, aye? The Koss Porta Pros I just received have better sound quality than I remembered of my long gone originals, even before being properly broken in. The critical mid range where vocals and guitar and piano are most present is truly wonderful; rich, full, crisp & detailed. Sibilance and other anomalies are nearly nonexistent, while ambiance, atmosphere & sound stage are impressive. The upper frequencies are likewise well fashioned, supplying ample shimmer & sparkle, but not brittle. As pleasant as the upper range is, it should only improve after 50 or 100 hours of break in. Now the bass is a mixed bag. It definitely pumps out a full heavy thump if that's what you demand of your skull speakers. I prefer less bass than is the current fashion, although a pair of cans that can deliver brain rattling sub sonics is not contrary to my ethos. I just don't need it as desperately as younger ears do. That said, I could hope for better low end definition in these Porta Pros. Bass drums and low end cello's sound a bit muffled and soft, lacking natural acoustics. This, too, may change as they break in, I'm hoping. The bass isn't BAD or even disappointing, it's just not quite as competently executed as the rest of the sonic spectrum. I only make this point to assist those of you who are in the market for bass monsters, which these are not. Fit is also a mixed bag. They're so light that weight isn't a consideration even after a few hours of constant use. However, the thin foam ear pads provide the absolute minimum of cushioning, and within 30 minutes of use I became aware of a very dull ache on various points on my ears. The headset's pressure can be adjusted, and set on "Light" they are slightly less tight on the head and ears, but I may have to try releasing some of the pressure by carefully bending the metal headband by opening them up wide, repeatedly. I'm going to wait to attempt that delicate operation in case they ease up on their own from use. If I do have to adjust them I'll be careful not to over-bend them; the thin metal bands might lose their elasticity if I overdo it. The cable is very thin, but it seems durable enough, not chintzy, and it transmits zero noise to the ear pieces. The plug end is reinforced nicely with the cable extending at a 45 degree angle which I feel is the best formation to reduce wear & tear on that critical point. The in-line volume slider works very well and does not change adjustment on its own as I first feared it might. The microphone is, um, adequate. Not great. It's actually pretty bad if you're speaking with any wind or background noises. If you hold the mic right up to your mouth and speak more quietly it's intelligible and passable. I left a few messages on my home answering service testing different conditions, and holding the mic almost to my lips produces the least annoying, most clear sound. Their appearance is just as distinctive & unusual as they ever were, which I like, especially now with the classy Shiny Gold & Matte Black styling. The included semi-hard zip-up case is a very welcome & useful addition, and the soft leatherette pouch is a pleasant bonus. So far, I'm more than pleased with this latest iteration of that trusted long lost friend, and I'm guessing they're just as happy to be reunited with the older, better version of me. Sure they are... ## Features - 1984 - For over 40 years Porta Pro continues to be one of the most recognized headphones around the world - LEGENDARY SOUND - Experience breathtaking audio with deep bass, crisp highs and a full midrange from 15-20,000 Hz - LEGENDARY DESIGN - A perfect blend of high-fidelity audio and nostalgic style - PERFECTLY PORTABLE - Unique collapsible design and included carrying case - COMFORT ZONE - Adjustable headband and temporal pads - MODERN PERFORMANCE - Answer/end calls and control your music with in-line microphone and remote ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N7EXSJL | | Additional Features | Microphone Included, Volume Control | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Music | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,159 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #189 in On-Ear Headphones | | Brand | Koss | | Brand Name | Koss | | Built-In Media | Protective Case | | Cable Features | Retractable | | Carrying Case Color | Rhythm Beige | | Color | Rhythm Beige | | Compatible Devices | Devices with 3.5 mm Audio Input | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | remote control,volume control | | Controller Type | wired remote control | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,279 Reviews | | Ear Placement | On Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Over-ear cup | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | External Testing Certification | NΓ£o aplicΓ‘vel | | Form Factor | On Ear | | Headphone Folding Features | On Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | On Ear | | Impedance | 60 ohm | | Manufacturer | Koss Stereophones | | Model Name | Porta Pro | | Model Number | 193053 | | Noise Control | None | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Sensitivity | 60 ohm | | Series Number | 193 | | Specific Uses For Product | Home | | Style Name | Classic | | Theme | Music | | UPC | 021299193051 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Koss - **Color:** Rhythm Beige - **Ear Placement:** On Ear - **Form Factor:** On Ear - **Impedance:** 60 ohm ## Images ![Porta Pro Limited Edition Retro Style On-Ear Headphones, Rhythm Beige - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vjH-Ju+JL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this headphones made in the US.** A: Sorry I don't know. I am happy with the build and the sound quality. Hard to beat for the price and the same as my original ones from the eighties **Q: I have a first generation ipod. will the volume control on the headphones work on my ipod?** A: This has an analog (sliding potentiometer) volume control so it will work with anything. The remote button may be another story. It works fine on my Android, but Apple doesn't always work the same. **Q: Can anyone comment on the microphone for call quality? The original model had problems with echo which might be why Koss moved it down.** A: I haven't had any problems with this microphone. As a matter of fact, communications on both ends of any of my calls are crystal clear. **Q: Is the cable spring reinforced like the new koss kph30i? Also, can you skip songs with the remote and fast forward?** A: No the cable is not reinforced. It's a different cable that also includes a volume control slider. You can pause, skip, go back, answer, hangup. trigger Assistant or Siri. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sound for a good price! *by K***R on October 4, 2024* I LOVE these headphones, they sound pretty good and are super lightweight.

Sure they are... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, after many others, the everyday headphone I've been trying to find... *by M***E on May 15, 2022* I've been through the gamut of the mid-fi suggestions. It all started when my $20 On-Ear Sony's dropped off my desk and one side busted. So, what was the internet recommending? I've daily driven Grado sr80s, Audiotechnica m50s, V-Moda LP2s, a very misguided Marshall headphone purchase, a small assortment of 40-80 dollar in-ears that were never good, and most recently the Phillips X2HRs. All with their own shortcomings, personalties, and usual discomfort. They aren't bad. The Grado and X2HRs still see use while the others have mostly fallen into disrepair or are just gross from age. Unfortunately, I've never been completely happy with any of them. If I could go back and add a few of those sets together and rebuy something more in the 300-400 dollar range like the Sennheiser HD 600s I would, but I have this horrible addiction to buying value headphones. Overperformers for price. Well, it turns out I never did that. I was overpaying. These Koss Porta Pros are true overperformance. It doesn't make any sense. These frail little headphones can hold their own against anything else I've had in the past at half of the cost along with any of my friend's headphones and headsets I've tried. With the Porta Pros performing well past most of them and with COMFORT. No m50 headband clamp and painful hot ears. No harsh X2HR treble poking sharply at my eardrums after an hour. None of the Grado "Grattle" forcing me to constantly pull small hairs out of the drivers. Just the beautiful, warm tones of these lovelies. I've always struggled with harsh sibilance or sub-bass pressure, and it's just not here. It's just a hug of sound. You can wear these all day, every day. Your ears won't get hot and you won't have a sore spot on the top of your head after 2 hours like you would with whatever the heavy "recommendation" of the week is. It feels so good to have finally found the headphone I can grab for any occasion or genre. Honest's truth, the build quality feels cheap, but that's also what keeps it all so light. The cord is a sin against consumerism and Koss should feel bad about it. It won't matter once you have them sitting and situated on your head though. I've already picked up a pair of Yaxi pads to go on them and they've become even more comfortable. They may sound even better. To anyone who has been stuck in value hell, these are them. Get these. You'll forget you even have them on and you'll just be left enjoying music. The sound could be too warm if you really like that crispy, crispy treble, but personally, I can't take more than 2-3 hours of that before I need a good long silent break. With this sound, you can plow through some podcasts and a few albums while working on a large project and never feel fatigued. If this pair breaks, I'll either fix it or quickly replace them. I've never been happier with a set of headphones. I don't even care that I overpaid for some beige coloring. They look GREAT with some bright orange Yaxi pads by the way... Just get 'em. You'll find yourself using your other sets less and less. Maybe not because they sound better, surely there's better, but because they are that dependable cozy audio blanket that you can depend on for anything. Save your money now with these, and then buy something that's a true step-up later if you still need to chase that audio dragon. I most likely won't be. ## Frequently Bought Together - Koss Porta Pro Limited Edition On-Ear Headphones, in-Line Microphone, Volume Control and Touch Remote Control, Retro Style, Includes Hard Carry Case, Wired with 3.5mm Plug, Rhythm Beige - Apple MFi Certified 2 Pack Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter for iPhone, iPhone Aux Adapter Converter Dongle Audio Cable Compatible with iPhone 14 13 12 11 X XS 8 7 - OneKer USB Type C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter, (2-Pack) USB C to Aux Female Audio Dongle Cable Cord Compatible with iPhone 16/15 Pro/15 Plus/15 Pro Max,iPad Pro,MacBook, Samsung Galaxy S24 S23 S22 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/36762363-porta-pro-limited-edition-retro-style-on-ear-headphones-rhythm](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/36762363-porta-pro-limited-edition-retro-style-on-ear-headphones-rhythm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
