i was messing around in class today and finally realized that my portapros have a hook and loop closure. i've had these things for a while too. blew my mind. my question is, what the hell is that screw for at the bottom of the left earpiece. the right doesnt have one. whassup with that?

My experience is very limited, so far I've only owned 3 headphones in the last couple of years all of which were under 50....namely the Sennheiser HD 215, Sennheiser HD 212 Pro (most uncomfortable) and my current Koss Porta Pro (excellent sq).   So as you may have already guessed - I...

I saw them at my local store. So if you rather shop local and have to get them now then is not a bad deal than waiting for shipping.   http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Koss+-+Portapro+Stereo+Headphones+-+Black/9492391.p?id=1218113927982&skuId=9492391&st=koss&cp=1&lp=2

I had a pair of Koss portaPro's for about 2 years and 10 days ago the plug went bad on them. So I wrote a note about what was wrong with them and a check for 6.00 for return shipping and to ship them to Koss cost me 4.00. This is just the headphones with nothing else like the wrapper. Well...

Hello, its been a while I've been involved in Head-Fi.   I have had my PX100 for a while now as my portable can and I was wondering if there was a perhaps better replacement?   My treasured PX100 snapped in half when my sister accidentally stepped on it.   I would like the opinion of...

I found a couple of options after searching on the forum -  Durabrand Radio Partsexpress Cheapo headphone   I couldn't find the Durabrand at the local walmart so that leaves only one option. Have any others been discovered since then ?

Hi, just wondering do these have to be "Burned in"? Thanks in advance  Mark

I have 'em ! ! ! Just got it at Kingsound, Mong Kok, Hong Kong for 320HKD at 12/28/08. My Review from the outside in. LOOKS Well, they look younger in actual rather than the net. The funky blue is not seen that much. My cousins say they look cheap because of the metal headband...

I already have a philips SHE9550 and I plan to replace it with the Koss portapro but since the price range is a tad bit too similar and that SHE9550 also seems to be a bang for ur buck, I wonder...is it really worth it? anybody tried doing listening tests on both?   VS.

Having used PortaPros for a very long time, I am considering upgrading to IEMs for their superior portability. Is their an audible difference between the PortaPros and the Re0s?

I was about to buy a pair off the legendary Koss Portapro's. The only reason I wasn't was because of PX 100's. I then looked into it and was just about to buy the Portapro's as they they got more praise. As I was buying them I noticed the new PX 100-II's from sennheiser and was wondering if...

Hi there!   While googling for some headphone-related things I came across some discussions about some fake PortaPro's (at least they claim so).   I've allways been happy with my PP's sq but I decided to check what they said anyway, just for curiosity..   So, I picked up my...

 I have a coupel of koss porta pro headbands and i wonder is it a good idea to attach ksc75's (still on there way) to them ?

Thx Headfiers, been lurking here for a few weeks to see how best to spend $50 on some decent IEMs. Maximo's came in yesterday and they sound really good after an overnight burn in. I picked those over the nuforce because they ranked a little higher in some of the reviews and someone...

My favourite headphones in terms of sound are the Koss PortaPros, I like the strong bass and crisp highs.   I'd like to buy a pair of full-size (circumaural), that sound the same, or similar, preferably open rather than closed.   Can anyone recommend some? My budget is around...

Hi, I'm new at this place, so it should say that as I am german my english may be a bit wrong (please go on and make corrections!) and my understanding of some stuff is reduced by this circumstance.   I own the Koss Porta Pro but the bass is a bit too dominant and washed-out to me, as the...

Hey Guys,   I'm looking for new Over Ear Headphones for 50-60$ and they should not be to big, someting like the Urbanears Plattan (Don't know if they are good or not).   greetings   Autrach

So today I plugged in my beloved ATH M50s into my iPod and no sound came out, even at full volume.  (I plugged in some old earbuds into the iPod, and sound came out like it should.)   I am very convinced that this is because just yesterday I was moving through a row of chairs in an...

Hey guys I am using the Koss Porta Pro for over a year, but since a week one of the earphones of the Koss does not work... so I want to buy me a new Portable Headphone... normally I would buy me the koss porta pro again, because i liked them very very much - but I think they could be more...

Hi all,   I am relatively new to audiophilia but I just felt like writing a review and ask some questions about these phones...and since I was told once to write about what you know, I'm going to center the brief review about Radiohead's In Rainbows. I don't purport to "know it", but I have...

Hello,   I have a Koss PortaPro and a Sennheiser HD280. Is The PA2V2 a Decent amp at that price? Will it Greatly improve my headphones. I am open to suggestions. I would prefer $60.00 US DOllars or less, but I appreciate something for a little more, that would be leaps and bounds better. So...

Will a small phone/mp3 player like the Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) be able to drive my Koss Porta Pro's without too much trouble? I won't be using an amp as I need a small, lightweight form factor and I'm low on money. The Koss Porta Pro's have a 60 ohm impedance and 101db/mw...

Ok...another surprised person....I am really enjoying my music out of the Portapros. I'm really starting to think that higher quality headphones aren't for me...my two favorites have been the SR80 and the Portapros, despite having owned clearly technically superior headphones like the SR225...

In the next month I will be back to attending school ( :( )   Anyways, you guys have already got me listening to many headphones, I already own AT M50's and MS1i's. Now I have a new question, what would be good (portable) headphones (not earbuds) for under $50 shipped? They need to fit in a...

Greetings! I would like to know if any members on this site know where to obtain a pair of red Koss Portapros.  I'm pretty sure they were only released in Europe but if anyone is selling any I would be interested
