  • SPORTApro, hearing is believing!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 30 '04
    Pros: Sportswear, comfortable, massive-bass, foldable, portable. They are KOSS
    Cons: Bass can get boomy, sound leakage

    Summary: Note : This is a review about the SPORTApro headphones. I will compare those to the Portapros. Both names are very similar, just to make sure no one gets confused the ones IN questions here are the SPORTApro, the new model from KOSS (2000). The ... read more

  • Deceptively solid no frills headphones worth every penny

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 20 '11
    Pros: For the price, this sound can't be beat.
    Cons: Appears flimsy.  Only time will tell but for price, I can't complain.

    Summary: While walking through Urban Outfitters, I saw this headphone (in a classic box) on the clearance area for $10 so I just had to pick couple of them up.I have various headphones but recently I have been using noise cancelation headphones from Bose ... read more

  • Koss Porta Pro - Portable High Qualtiy Headphones

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 02 '09
    Pros: Koss really delivers an excellent sound with great dynamic range and excellent bass response.
    Cons: Classical music is lacking a little something over headphones.

    Summary: We need headphones. It's hard to bring a quality pair of speakers, an amplifer and CD player with you to the gym or out for a walk or on the subway.  Thus came along the Sony Walkman which has evolved into the Apple iPod.  It seems that ... read more

  • Koss Porta-Pro

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 23 '07
    Pros: Durable; foldable, smart construction. Lifetime warranty. Good resolution.
    Cons: Somewhat too high impedance? Really none.

    Summary: 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 discrimination). ... read more

  • What a headphone, what a company.

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 03 '07
    Pros: It is rare to find the best quality at an inexpensive price.
    Cons: HMMMM - I guess if they were free it would be better.

    Summary: 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 was ... read more

  • Great sound & value

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 06 '06
    Pros: Rich sound with punchy deep bass, a good midrange, and excellent voice reproduction
    Cons: Somewhat ugly. Foam pads are cheap and rip easily

    Summary: I've been using my PortaPro's for 4 years now, and on a near daily basis they deliver rich sound with punchy deep bass, a good midrange, and excellent voice reproduction. Quite an excellent all around package that doesn't cheap out on any one sound area. ... read more

  • One of the best portable headphones on the market

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 24 '06
    Pros: Good bass, comfortable, compact folding design
    Cons: None as yet

    Summary: I've been looking for headphones like this for a long time. As an admitted bass-aholic, I've been routinely let down by other headphones. Over the years, I've bought and used so many of the highly recommended headphones. AKG K-240, various Sennheisers, ... read more

  • Stigmata in exchange for musical bliss... a fair exchange.

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 02 '06
    Pros: The most sublime acoustic experience you'll ever get from a portable headphone.
    Cons: Incompetent design may require you to seek emergency medical attention.

    Summary: The sound quality of Koss's PortaPro headphones is indeed sublime. My first experience of these headphones was like having music seamlessly streamed into my tertiary auditory cortex. So it is no wonder that they are now the stuff of legend. ... read more

  • Simply Amazing (and dorky looking!)

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 24 '04
    Pros: Amazing bass, tight crisp highs, great value for price
    Cons: 80's design, somewhat tight for those with big heads

    Summary: These still amaze me. I bought them after searching the web for reviews of portable headphones with good bass. You can scour the web and the only negative thing you'll hear about these PortaPros is that they're not the most stylin' phones around. They ... read more

  • PortaPro is the PRO!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 13 '04
    Pros: Sublime sound performance. Light-weight, portable. Durable. Affordable!
    Cons: sound leakage, not very fashionable

    Summary: I bought those headphones 4 years ago and they changed my listening experience for life! I've never heard better sound quality. Not to mention the comfort and ease of use and portability. I paid around 60$ at an electronics local store in Quebec, Canada ... read more

  • A Bass Haven

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 12 '04
    Pros: Sound great, foldable, cool carrying case, 1/4 inch converter.
    Cons: Looks cheap. Bass is a bit overpowering. Performs badly when used in a home HIFI.

    Summary: 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. After that, I ... read more

  • A BoomBox on your ears.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 09 '04
    Pros: Inexpensive price, punchy bass, Portability, Great with low powered devices
    Cons: May find bass exaggerated, Catches hair easily, Dorky styling

    Summary: I walked into a J&R and a salesman showed me his personal pair of PortaPro's. I then proceeded to hook my iPod to the portaPro's. Whoa. I was sold like that. Sound Quality: The bass in the beginning seems uneven, and even a little bit exaggerated, ... read more

  • If you saw a talking walrus-llama crossbreed, you'd stare. Ditto for people wearing these headphones.

    Dec 03 '03
    Pros: Great sound, extremely portable
    Cons: they look funny on my head

    Summary: I need to start with a small preface, I love sound, I’m obsessed with it, and I listen to sound all day and all night on all different speakers and TV’s and car systems. Due to my audiophile nature it is very possible there are things that would ... read more

  • Excellent sound will be a drastic upgrade from stock headphones

    Pros: Excellent sound quality & portability
    Cons: Long cord can get in the way when jogging

    Summary: I have had my Koss Sportapro's for approximately 4 months and really enjoy them. I've plugged them ... read more

    Feb 26 '03
    Pros: excellent sound!
    Cons: doofy looking; bulky.

    Summary: 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 with ... read more
