| | | First introduced in 1984, this high quality portable stereophone set performance and comfort standards for personal listening worldwide. Over the years, much to the delight of devout Porta Pro enthusiasts, we’ve preserved the original design and performance that made the Porta Pro a portable music icon. Today the Porta Pro remains the headphone of choice for the discriminating listener. Designed for those with refined musical acuity, the Porta Pro continues to be the most requested headphone at koss.com.
The Porta Pro features dynamic elements that deliver exceptionally rich, deep bass and a remarkably wide frequency response from 15-25,000 Hz to capture every nuance in your favorite movie or musical performance. Constructed from mylar, the elements are extremely rigid, minimizing mechanical distortion and ensuring exceedingly accurate sound reproduction. Neodymium iron boron rare earth magnet structures enable the Porta Pro to deliver greater volume so you can hear every note, even when competing against the sounds of a commuter train with a low-voltage MP3 or disc player. Oxygen free copper voice coils improve signal transmission and conduction for cleaner, clearer sound. Foam earcushions provide an open, hear-through sound that lets you keep in touch with your surroundings. Perfect to wear while running, at work, or while traveling.
Whether you’re listening at home or on the go, the Porta Pro will bring the excitement of a live performance to any recording.

5 of 5 Koss Porta Pro Headphones Sunday, December 23, 2007
Wayne D from New York, NY
The best portable headphones on the planet! Awesome for use with Sony PSP, MP3 players etc. Suggested use: Purchase in-line Audio amplifier, (Radio Shack etc.) and wallah! You will experience home stereo quality! I've purchased several of these headphones for friends for over 10 years now... Never received any complaints. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Throw away the little white ear buds Tuesday, September 25, 2007

I have been using these light wieight head phones for over twenty years and there is no head set on the market in the light weight category that even comes close.
Great low end and clear highs.
As a long time sound engineer I found these to listen back to recorded shows on a cassette Walkman (!) and they are the clear winner for anyone with an iPod 25 years later.
Don't even think twice. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 These Rule! Thursday, January 26, 2006
Matthew T. from St. Paul, MN.
The best accessory I've bought for my MP3 player. Seriously. The sound is awesome. The highs are bright and the lows are deep. I usually turn off the EQ. The side pads make them comfortable for extended wearing too. They don't fold up as small as some sites suggest. It's still the size of a tangerine maybe. But the metal band actually protects the speakers, so I never worry when I fold them and throw 'em in my bag. But whatever, Koss gives a lifetime guarantee. And for you fashion conscious, the retro look is totally in. You can't go wrong. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 great headphones!!! period!!!!! Friday, August 05, 2005
A Customer from NYC
I use headphones often, and I have to say that I'm very impressed with the Koss Porta Pro. It has great bass, treble, and dynamics. It's very comparable to the Sennheiser PX100, but the treble and bass is a little better. It's also very comfortable, and to top it off it comes with a life time warranty. I'd have to say it can't get any better than that. You could spend more money on headphones and a lot of them isn't gonna be comparable to the Koss Porta Pro quality, because the Porta Pros is just that good!
