Rating: Summary: Great Sound .. cheap cord Review: The sound is great from these headphones .. I can't believe how cheap KOSS was in the length of the cord .. has to be like 4 feet long ... you might want to consider getting an extension for this if you want to go more than 4 feet away from where it is plugged in.
Rating: Summary: PortaPro and Rio S35S Review: Just got my PortaPros today and they sound great with my Rio S35S. Base is wonderful. Sound is so much better than the buds that came with the Rio. Can't seem to shake them off of my head so hopefully they stay on while running. Wish they held the adjustment, and looked better, but they sound great, and that's what matters most.
Rating: Summary: Koss PortaPro's simply rock! Review: I have tried at least 5 different headphones from the earbud type to the every rear mounted type. These phones have an outstanding high output volume if desired. The quality of sound reproduction is the best that I have heard in the portable class. I have some good full coverage phones and they have superior bass but that is to be expected. The first thing that people remark about while listening to them, is the realistic and profound BASS. The only thing that may be a problem is that the pads tend to cause you to sweat under extreme or hot weather exercise. With the realization that no set of headphones are ideal under all conditions I feel the vast majority of people that hear these phones will want them for their own. I have literally sold a half a dozen just by letting people listen to mine. The lifetime warranty is a bonus!
Rating: Summary: Loud With Great Bass Review: Koss Porta Pros are the headphone of choice if you like to listen loud with deep bass. They have a bit of trouble boosting treble because of this, but they are well balanced for most recordings so it doesn't really matter.Many have complained about the headphones being too tight, but I have a pretty big grape and have no trouble wearing these on a two hour walk. I use these with my awesome Archos JukeBox Recorder 10, and they are a killer combo. Many MP3 players sacrifice a resonable amp for smaller size, so these Porta Pros will help salvage players with diminutive amps. The only complaint with my Porta Pros is they are open ear, and people are always noticing my music, even though they all admit I'm not listening that loud once they try them on.
Rating: Summary: Sound great but a little ouchy Review: I recently went though a spate of headphones -- 5 pair in this price range. This is by far the best sounding of the group (by far!) and I find myself using them the most often. As a matter of fact, they sound better than my studio headphones (Audio Technica) that cost about $100 more. The only problem I have is that they can get uncomfortable after an hour or two of use, and they stick to your hair. If you have long hair (anything after a 1950's crewcut) they will stick to your hair and pull it when you adjust them and take them off. Totally worth it -- great sound and all -- as long as you don't mind the problem with the ouchy hair...
Rating: Summary: AMAZING! Amazing company and Amazing headphones! Review: Koss has a LIFETIME warranty on their headphones. I've taken mine in for repairs years later, and they repaired them! NO QUESTIONS ASKED, NO RECEIPT, NO WARRANTY CERTIFICATE, NO NOTHING! They just fix them. You can damage them, and they fix them like NEW! These people are amazing! Amazing is the least I can say for KOSS. So are the headphones!!! Excellent quality! I bought their wireless headphone 8 years ago, had the ear muffs repaired once a few years later, free. This company stands behind their products! AMAZING!
Rating: Summary: Best Headphones I've ever owned Review: I bought a pair of these headphones because I heard good things about them on the internet. Normally, I don't buy headphones until I hear them first. My gamble paid off. These headphones somehow manage to give you great highs with great base. Usually, headphones either give you one or the other. They look like the headphones that would come with a cheap radio...until you plug them in. Admittedly, the design is a little flimsy, but they come with a lifetime no ask warranty, so if they break, who cares? Just send them to get fixed. I plan on buying a second pair soon. The best lightweight headphones money can buy. They sound better than some of the big headphones, and they'll blow any pair of Sonys away.
Rating: Summary: Weak Construction Review: They give a good sound for the price, but bass distorts when driven with rock at louder volumes. The headband is flimsy due to it's portability. No good for workouts as the membrane absorbs sweat and is very easy to tear. The wear and tear factor is of important not due to the cheapo materials around the cans. Of less important note is also their dated 80's appearance.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Quailty, Good buy. Review: I was skeptical at first being these were a bit on the [$$$] side for headphones. However, when i recived them i used them with my MP3/CD player and it gave me AWESOME quality. I was amazed at the stereo effect, furthermore i tried these on my computer, laptop and desktop, and in my stereo downstairs, with the included attachment. All sounds were VERY clear and stereoed wonderfully. KOSS has always been a good brand in my book but these are defininitly worth the price! If you are skeptical about the price don't be. The quality is worth it.
Rating: Summary: Can I give this six stars? Review: Okay, years of choosing between screechy earbuds and fumbling with bulky Senn-type cans are over. These are Da Biz. When I first got these in the post yesterday, I listened to "Mull of Kintyre" on CD (Paul rulz) on the boyfriend's really crap all-in-one system, and I was crushed with disappointment. Well. Then I stuck it into my really really weedy (cheap doesn't even begin to describe my purchasing habits - and yes I know about my musical tastes) walkman thing and ... happiness. It was one of those high street trance CD complilations - and what can I say - The Beloved's "Sweet Harmony", Massive Attack's "Melt" etc. punched into life. The only complaint is that Kylie sounds even weedier than usual, with the meaty, cheesy basslines thumping all over her nasals. Can't wait to try these babies on "Sound of Music". Oh - and did I say they are dead comfortable, with little listening fatigue? Sigh. Joy. Spastic grin. BUY.
