Amazon.com Product Description
The Koss PortaPro collapsible stereophone combines high-quality sound reproduction with a unique design for the ultimate in convenience and comfort. These over-the-head headphones have a dynamic element design for deep bass performance and a frequency response of 15 to 25,000 Hz to ensure the music comes through clear and bright. Also designed for comfort, these headphones have two adjustable temporal-comfort zone pads to shift the pressure and perfectly balance the ear plates on your ear. The open-earphone ear plates are multipivoting and, together with the adjustable headband, allow for maximum comfort. The PortaPros are collapsible and come with a carrying case, so it's still easy to take them with you even when you're not wearing them. A 0.25-inch adapter is included to ensure they will fit with any system. Koss offers a lifetime warranty on its PortaPro stereophones.
Product Description
For nearly 25 years, the Kos Portapro has been a folding headset designed for professional listening performance with portable audio devices. With new MP3 player and iPod use, the Port-a-Pro is even more popular for those seeking a comfortable alternative to earphones. Elevate your listening with Portapro. 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 user admired portable headphone for discriminating listeners who prefer a light headrest over earplugs.
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. 4 Feet Long wire with miniplug

 This headset ROCKS! January 8, 2009
This headset is the best I've ever owned! I even did a comparison with a friend's Bose, and we NEARLY agreed mine was better...with as much $$$ as HIS Bose cost, I don't blame him for stalling before finally agreeing!! ;) I've used my set nearly everyday, hooked into my laptop as I run on my treadmill. The sound is great and it actually stays put, instead of sliding off my head as I'm running. I read some review (maybe CNet?) that mentioned the slighting adjustment pulling hair, but I've yet to experience that at all. This Koss PortaPro is THE ONE, folks - I swear!
Best for the price! January 4, 2009
The sound quality is excellent on these! I'm playing songs on my iPod with these on and I'm hearing instruments I never even knew were there. So much for Apple's headphones! They are very comfortable and despite what other reviews have said, I haven't gotten strange looks or comments because of their unique design.
Overall, great headphones at a ridiculously good price.
 Upgraded from Apple Earphones to PortaPros December 31, 2008

Listening to my iPod almost a year with Apple Earphones, I realized that the sound quality from them was not what I desired. After browsing many forums and searching for a reasonably priced pair of headphones, I discovered the Koss PortaPros. I'll start by reviewing what came in the package: The headphones itself, a bag-like carrying case, and the .25" adapter. The carrying case was not what I had expected, it seems very durable yet I am not quite sure of how to fold the headphones into the case for I've tried many different ways and it doesn't seem to fit. The adapter is very useful and I am glad Koss decided to include it as well. The headphones of course are amazing compared to the cheap earbuds I had before. Not only is the sound quality is great, but the overall design is good as well. The comfortZone feature is an added design that provides extreme comfort to the headphones. Also, the length of the cord is not too short or too long. The over band is quite durable, and yes, it does snag your hair every now and then, but that is easy to ignore with such cans as these. Oh, and don't forget the Lifetime Warranty. These PortaPros are competitors against much higher priced headphones, so if you're looking for an upgrade in a mid level price range, I definitely recommend Koss PortaPros. I forgot to mention, I used the Super Saver Shipping and the order arrived 3 days prior to the estimated shipping date.
PortaPros Pack a Punch December 28, 2008

These are awesome headphones. I work in a crowded (load) office, and there are days that would be almost unbearable without these headphones. I am able to crank up the volume, and the sound quality is excelent. The bass produced from such a small package is remarkable.
I did have to replace one set of the cushions after a few years, and eventualy one of the speaker wires started to short out. Koss stood behind their lifetime warrenty, and replaced the unit.
The first pair of headphones I bought (in the '80s) were from Koss, and my experiences with their lifetime warrenty has made me a lifetime customer.
very good and short of excellent December 25, 2008
Sound of Koss portapros is truly remarkable. Great sound for any price! My one complaint is that they are a little heavy and not quite as comfortable as I would like. Works best when clips on side of each headphone are pushed back for loosest fit. Also, wish the headphones were a little more portable. They don't really fold up as small as I would like. Lest I sound like too great a critic, I would purchase them again. In fact, I sent my son-in-law a pair for Christmas.
