For a music lover like me, I consider having a nice pair of headphones to be one of life’s simple pleasures. I’ve owned my KOSS Porta Pro headphones for a couple years now. These are great not only because of their amazing sound but their price point makes them a great value. They are a semi-open phone so you can still hear what’s going on around you while you’re rockin’ out. This can be good or bad depending on your application. Add a limited life time warranty and what’s left to ask for? Yeah, their design may look a little dated (they did originate in the 80’s) but if you’re like me, there are somethings that you buy for their functionality and looks are secondary. I buy headphones for sound, not style. The fact that this model has been around for over 20 years indicates that KOSS created something special.
Conclusion: Highly Thumbed Up
