maybe because they go for $30 in most places.. in my place to goes for 50-60 bucks .. same for the k518.. but i checked in other placed and the akg go for 60 bucks worldwide.. maybe less
so again, hd202 or k518 both at the same price
The porta pros have been around since 1984, and still selling like hot cakes. With good reason. They are probably my favorite headphones for under $50.
Although I have graduated now to more expensive headphones, I still take my trusty porta pros along with me everywhere I go. They are cheap, easy to carry around, sound absolutely fabulous and are pretty sturdy. I usually use them while running on the treadmill at gym. While they are an open design, they cut out background noise pretty well. That's probably because they are on-ear rather than over the ear open backed headphones. They are very bass-heavy. Although the bass is kind of muddy, they pack a serious punch. They are very secure on top of your head and you just forget that they are there.. they are that comfortable. I purchased my first porta pros some 7 years ago, and I have owned 3 since, including the 25 year anniversary edition. Koss is great with their lifetime guarantee as well. I just had to pay shipping charges when the joint near the 3.5mm jack got loose and started to cut the music in and out, and got a brand new pair within a fortnight... for 6 bucks! I highly recommend this set of headphones. For your budget, you wouldn't get anything else that sound as good as these.
