Product Description

The Koss PortaPro headphones produce a lot of bass, which is ideal for a portable headphone that is not looking to produce excellent sound. In effect it makes up for the lack of power many portable players have but also serves to cover up poor imaging.

Features

Duel, straight entry 4 ft cord
15-25,000 Hz frequency response
101dB SPL/1 mV sensitivity
60 Ohms normal impedance
Less than 0.2% distortion

What Koss has to say

High Quality Sound Sets Performance Standard for Portable Listening.

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.

The PortaPro by Koss is covered by Koss' No*Questions*Asked Lifetime Warranty.

Great sound

These are the best sounding portable headphones that I've found. I've had them for a while but just now decided to write a review because of the consistent quality.

Ugly Powerhouse

First off, these headphones are SO MUCH SMALLER than they look in the pictures. I thought for sure they'd be big, but all the reviews I've seen said they're great, and I wanted something for the gym what was really comfortable and tucked away in my bag. These totally do the trick. They're loud and have full sound and they're comfortable. They're ugly as a duckling, but I don't care. Would buy them again in an instant.

Pleasantly surprised

A summary of these headphones. Noise canceling = 0, build quality = 0, style = 0. Sound quality = AMAZING. For under $50 you just won't find another pair of headphones that sound this good. And they fold up and are easy to travel with.
