Porta Pro Utility On-Ear Headphones, Detachable Interchangeable Cord System, Collapsible Design, Stealth Grey

WoW, a no brainer purchase. Koss Porta Pro Utility. these are amazing, the best sound and comfort, got the extra cable with the mic for phone calls. wore for hours. wow, calls are crystal clear, music is crazy amazing very dynamic range with super punchy bass, vocals are amazing. Not audiophile quality but the most fun since the original old school Sony walkman headphone, remember the first listen? it was wow.

Owned these many years ago and remember them being an excellent sounding headphone. They were not in the best of condition after years of use so decided to purchase a new pair. My memory did not fail me. The Porta Pro is still a fantastic sounding headphone for this price. In fact, I would compare them to models costing 4 times as much. One caveat is you have to like “on the ear” open sounding headphones. If you prefer an isolated “between your ears” sound these are not for you. Any loud outside noise will probably be noticeable. I prefer the “outside of your head” sound that these produce. The music floats just outside your ears much like listening to room speakers. The frequency range seems to be quite accurate. Even though the earpieces rest on the ears and not around, the bass is punchy, well defined, and musical with no added boom. The midrange has great detail and the higher frequencies may be a bit rolled off, but are very easy on the ears and do not produce audio fatigue. The Porta Pros, despite the low price are more than adequate for focused, critical listening. They are light and not sturdily built and should be handled with reasonable care. Highly recommended.

For The money it is a decent headphone. This headphone has alot of pros, the price is cheap, good soundstage, good midrange. decent comfortability(i can wear for an hour or two without any discomfort) and can be powered by anything. however this headphone lacks in alot of things, the pads are not lush enough for long listening, the sound to this headphone is very dark, the mids are pronounce but the highs lack clarity and sound muffled. This can be fixed with some eq however the bass cant, the drivers struggle to produce undistorted low end but thats what you get for a on ear headphone with tiny drivers. still though the upper bass is present enough to give the kicks in music punch. Definitely would look for an over ear for hip hop or anything where you want to hear bass. Rock is pleasing on this headphone though and so is pop. Basically a good headphone for rock or pop, has a dark tone, Great quality to the sound just wish the high end was more present.

Wow, love the retro look and knowing that this company has been building them since the 80s. Good sound quality and they fit perfectly, very comfortable Good quality pouch to carry the headphones

Every. Single. Pair of the Koss porta pros I’ve bought are made with wires that apparently have zero durability. I used them as intended, no modifications, light usage, nothing harsh. I loved these headphones for the few moments they worked. I really tried so much to get them to work but the wires are absolutely faulty out of the box. The quality is similar to the ones that you get on an airplane and kind of arrive broken even though they’re new. I’ve bought 3 separate pairs, 2 pairs of the rhythm beige, and the black utility pair. The beige has wires so thin and fragile, so I bought the utility pair just to swap the phones because it had flat and seemingly better quality wires. I was wrong there too, using them for the first time one phone had no audio out of the box. So I’m convinced Koss has made all porta pros with basically useless wires. In my opinion the only way to use these headphones is to immediately replace the wires completely with better quality ones, and then you’ll have perfect headphones. I searched the internet and I’m not sure if anyone has had this level of an issue, or maybe I’m crazy. The only truth I can offer is that I have 3 brand new pairs of Koss Porta Pros and all of them don’t work.

unfortunately despite the good reviews and a recommendation from a friend I cannot recommend this particular design of Koss headphones. The thin plastic connecting the cup of the headphones to the adjustable bar snapped. I saw a another review saying someone had the same issue. I unfortunately assumed this was caused by miss handling since many other reviews spoke highly of the product. but after regular use while handling gently the left ear cup snapped off. upon inspection I can see the right ear cup has a crack going through it on the same spot and will likely break off too if I could continue to use them. I was happy with the audio quality, and the replaceable ear cuffs and cable connectors but unfortunately the product is just to flimsy to recommend.

I love Koss headphones. These look silly. They feel good or comfortable, I wore them in public Hannafords if you know that reference. They sound great with 3.5mm or aux. Koss's Utility series allows balance cables and sound witch makes the product budget premium.

fue un regalo para mi mejor amigo, increíble calidad de sonido, se percibe todo y de manera muy limpia, comodos y super lindos. como un suuuuper plus sirven de accesorio y complemento para un buen outfit.

Wie früher auch weiterhin gut, leicht verbesserte Verkabelung als bei den Vorgängermodellen, man sollte aber die Ohrpolster gegen stabilere als die Originale austauschen, da die ein Schwachpunkt dieser Kopfhörer sind. Ich hoffe das die verbesserte Verkabelung eine wirkliche Verbesserung darstellt, da ich bei den vorherigen (mindestens 5) Kopfhörern dieses Typs die ich schon besitzt und genutzt habe auch immer wieder Kabelbrüche bekommen habe. Vom Klang her seit jeher gut, bassreich, klar und deutlich über das gesamte Spektrum. Braucht wenig Strom, ist daher lauter als "große" Kopfhörer. Um einiges besser als kleine Ohrstöpsel, wenn man kleine Gehörgänge hat. Aber Vorsicht, Defekte durch hohe Lautstärke (im Bass) sind wahrscheinlich. Dann rasselt der kaputte Teil der Kopfhörer und ist als Defekt zu betrachten (auch wenn keine Beschädigung wie z.B. ein Riss in der Membrane zu erkennen ist).

They look amazing and super retro in a great fashionable way… My critique is that they are very fragile above the ear piece. And are uncomfortable do to the thin sponge lining.

These headphones are great. They look amazing in my opinion. The sound is great, however at high volume it does bleed a lot meaning that other people will hear your music playing. My issues with this pair is that as soon as you receive them, they feel extremely fragile. I've had this pair since mid October and only used it for about 5 times a week. The plastic pieces holding the metal bars have broken. It may be due to this color wave being translucid so having a cheaper plastic built. I do recommend these headphones because aesthetically they look mazing. However, watch out for the build quality. I haven't contacted Koss yet since I'm not too sure if they can replace my pair due to the fact that've bought them on amazon and not the Koss official website.
