Hello Guys and Gals! I am now a Koss Porta Pro owner for about 3-4 months and I like them alot! I already had 2 pairs. I accidentally damaged the driver of the first pair while I was removing the grill (Kramer mod). My second and current pair is also kramer modded and I like it more than...

@ K_19: Great Review! I own the Porta Pro now and my source is a iPhone 3G with OS 3.0.1 too.. would you think the HD 238 is a great improvement over my koss? What is better? a closed HD 228 or a open HD 238 ?? Thanks!

bump, I want to recable too..

OK I own both now, I just wanted to know which I really like better without all the bias. When I bought the Sennheiser PX 100 I expected them not to be that dark! Here, I really like the clarity of my Porta Pros more. May it be cause I kramer modded them and they already have a good burn in...

I say too lets take this mofo down.. He is STILL getting only good feedback at ebay because everyone is scared to lose their money.. what can we do with him?

Could someone explain me wich of the both are better, just technically..

Hehe

Can anyone tell me if a 75 Ohm adaptor is a benefit for the sq of the porta pros? Or do the need more than 75 Ohm? If so I would buy one. What is the benefit in higher impedance through Ohm resistors in general? I couldnt find informations on it here on head-fi.

I wonder: May a Kramer-modded Koss Porta Pro have as good mids and highs (as many people claim) like its component the PX 100?

Its an Apple ritual to refresh theire portable products every year. We will see new iPods this September 2009 I expect iPod Classic Unibody and iPod Touch 3.Gen with camera... Maybe I will get me a new iPod Classic 2009 version

1 nano 2nd gen, but sold after 1 week - I was bored by it can you count the ipod application from my iphone 3g as ipod too?

After reading several threads mostly here I had to buy the Koss Porta Pros, I own them now for just a month and I have to say, they are really amazing for under 50$ They fill out everything I wanted in a pair of open headphones: They have good mids great highs and even greater lows...

I heard from an other forum that Grado Sr80 and Alessandro MS1 needs an AMP and Grado SR60 doesnt need an Amp for portable sources such as an iPod.. I have a iPhone 3G (the integrated amp is like the ipod classic) What would be better to get, without using an Amp the whole time...

While unsnapping the Driver grill, I accidently hit the driver itself just a tiny hair scratch is now in it. Since then my porta pros sounds muddy in the left ear (i think thats where I hit) Can I use my warranty for it and just exchange them? Or isnt it possible? BTW in general...

Here are mine:
