Great sound

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2006
Review: I love the sound of the headphones - top quality no question about it. I have the set now for 2 years.

The few things I did not like about them is that the headband broke very fast and it is not as comfortable as I hoped they would be, the...

Save your money

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2001
Review: I have previously owned the SportaPro brand headphone and I can honestly tell you to save your money and go with something else. There are just too many reasons why you should not spend the 30 dollars to get this pair of headphones:

Best headphones for the price.

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Amazing sound for the price. Fairly comfortable. Super portable. Excellent warranty.
Review: The KOSS PortaPro headphones are a bit pricier than your average cheapo headphones, that's for sure, but they're really worth the cost. They have about the most consistent frequency response of any headphone at this price range. Full graphs of the...

Koss Porta-Pro

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good portable headphones, durable, accurate-sounding. A "must" replacement for any bundled headphones.
Review: First of all, it's a bit of surprise that those were called "geeky" and "dorky", probably suggesting they look "cumbersome" or somesuch (the very notion of something being "geeky" or "dorky" is laughable by itself - quite a prejudice for...

What a headphone, what a company.

Date of Review:  May 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: Buy em.
Review: As usual in my quest for the perfect product, I purchased every other headphone before I purchased the Koss headphones because I just thought that there is no way a $50 headphone will be as good as the $200 Shure ear buds or the Sennheiser (sp). Boy...

The Most Awesome Headphones

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2007
Review: I have the same Portapro Headphones that I was given with the purchase of a new stereo back in 1984 when the Portapro first came out. I love these things. They are 22+ years old and still kicking butt! They make every player sound better. They even...

Best headphones for the price

Date of Review:  May 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: Best sounding headphones for under 50 dollars
Review: I bought these headphones after buying the Sony CD Walkman D-EJ815 (read my opinion on this item). The headphones that came with the CD player were a joke. They could not handle the bass and, overall, were weak. I looked around and finally decided...

A Bass Haven

Date of Review:  May 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great product for portables and the like. Get them if you want a pair of behind the neck headphones with decent enough sound.
Review: Getting the package:

I ordered my Koss SportaPros online and received it in about 2 days. The first thing I said when I opened the packaged, was "These things look bad, ugh!". It looks like it was put together by sticky tape and glue.

Great sound

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: Considering the size Koss PortaPro is the best headphones. Koss give you a lot of sound back for the money.
Review: A friend recommended me these headphones back in 1996. Now I own two pairs. I have got one set at work and one set at home. The sound in these head phones is great!

For about two years ago I decided to buy even greater headphones than...

the best sounding headphone for portable devices ... period.

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: the best SOUNDING choice for portable listening. others phones/buds may be cuter nad have better portability, but the poor sound will eventually grate on your nerves.
Review: i listen to music on the go all the time: commuting to/from work; at the gym; while walking around the city; while rollerblading. i switched over to minidisc technology a year and a half ago (smartest move i ever made). i ALWAYS used koss portapros...
