Are the Porta Pros still the best of its kind? As in, essentially 80s-looking headphones, which actually sound great and are well built.
Many years ago I bought one of those, and now for stylistic reasons I'm looking to buy the Drop.com (Massdrop) all-black version. Unless something better was released in the mean time, whether in terms of old-school looks and/or sound. Thanks.

Yeah, if anything has stood the test of time, it’s the Koss porto pro.
I know it's not fair to judge them both not in their stock forms, but I prefer the KSC75 with a headband over the Porta Pros with Yaxi Pads.

He's telling the truth but just buy them both. They're both audio gods!
PS: I just ordered the KOSS KTXPro1!
Really tempted to order the Koss SP330 (on ears) now that they are $25. Glowing review from Tyll:

But ...
They seem to break often and I am not thrilled about pleather pads.

I saw those as well for $25. I should have bought them instead of the KTXPRO1.
I read the review you linked and watched the video review and considering they were $100 more in the past, they are a must buy!

KOSS KTXPro1 are better than PortaPro, KSCs, KPH30i imho you're in for a treat.
On the down side, due to dollar store build quality the headband squeaks louder than stripper's bed.

But is the KTXPRO1 better than the KPH40?
I was told to put the KTXPRO1 on the KSC75 earclips.

Double pads on KTXPRO1. Nothing is better.But is the KTXPRO1 better than the KPH40?

Took off stock foamies from PortaPro (since they're using Yaxis) and sleeved them on top of KTXPRO1 stockies.
Sadly that's doesn't increase their sexiness.

It makes sense though right... you're sticking two sets of stock foams on a headphone meant for one?
Or do you have stock foams under yaxis on the KTXPro1? That seems like a bad idea unless the yaxis had donut foams.
