Yeah those are PortaPros. They are like that.
You know what happened, I was guided onto this thread from the Altman Tera website which said the best headphone with the Tera player is the Koss PortaPro with the Kramer mod.
It's the PortaPro which is $39 :-
The KSC 75 is $15 on Amazon.
I was looking for a good second pair of head phones to start a cheap but classic collection of headphones
I have at the moment HD650, and IE80s
They aren't the best headphones in the world but modded they can compare with headphones up to $200 imo. They have a nice detailed sound and with some EQ they can be pretty punchy and hit hard for their size. Don't expect them to rattle your brain but they'll definitely impress you for their size and price. They aren't incredibly revealing (but they are detailed) so they should be good with streaming pandora without making it sound too bad.
I usually wear mine around the house doing chores with a Sound Blaster E1 connected through USB OTG Out into the E1. I find it increases the detail some and makes the bass punchier and the treble more airy.
I'm also thinking of switching the cable to one with a mic.
Replacement pads are cheap as well at around 3 pair for $5 or so from Amazon.
Sorry this is the Porta Pro you're talking about ?
