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. Overall, it is a hit and miss kind of design, some will like it while some dislike it.
PORTABILITY
Compared to the Sennheiser PX100 and the AKG K 414, it folds more "compact". Unlike the other two which folds in a manner that ressembles a pair of glasses, the PortaPros fold into a ball, more than twice the width of the Senn's but half the length. Overall, nobody has made headphones fold in a way that everyone likes.
COMFORT
"It pulls out your hair !" As most of you know this is one of the dislikes of the portapros, for me the answer is simple, stretch it first then put it on your head. On the ears, on firm it may be a little too tight but on light, the entire weight is held by those foam cussions above the drivers. Overall, they may be used for hours on end but after getting them of your head, you feel that your ears are relieved from those pads on them.
ISOLATION
When they're at decent at volume, you dont hear the noise outside, unless of course there's a car hoking at you. When your source is switched off its like your phones arent there. Overall, if you want to enjoy to listen to music at noisy environments or use your phones to escape the outside, I wouldnt recomend these for you.
SOUND
-highs (treble)
To make it short, I hear things that I dont hear before
-mid
Well, women voices sound like womens voices while mens voices sound like mens voices
-lows (bass)
It's like I'm wearing full sized enclosed headphones
Overall, THESE ARE the perfect pair
My Remarks
I like the RetRo design
I bought ray ban aviators and chuck taylors to match 'em
The wires dont look so Hi-Fi
Cant Koss at least change the color?
Why are these made in China?
