Koss PortaPro Headphones Revew

Koss PortaPro Headphones Review

I don't normally do reviews but I couldn’t find an honest one out there and seeing that I just got a new pair I thought it was a good idea to let you loyal readers have a look because I like them. and when I say honest I mean not just prizing the ass out of them.

The Look

They look good, well I think that they do, they have a 1980’s vibe witch I’m very much in to, you on the other hand might not, but I always like a bit of reminiscing now and then, the design is an easy classic. well because they have been in production since the 1980's obviously.

The Build

To be honest the ones I got felt a bit flimsy they use a lightly coated joined single core wire witch feels cheep, the metal expandable bars witch fold away nicely are quality.

The part that folds the ear buts away feel flimsy and hollow, but do feel strong enough to last a long time.

They fold away nicely and come in a nice quality leather bag that is quite awesome, but no thought has gone in to the cable, an auto roller like the ones that you have on a portable mouse would be a nice touch.

The Sound

The sound over all is very nice not as nice as my Bose Quietcomfort 3 were but perform better on the louder songs which is nice, because louderness is good when my BlackBerry isn’t telling me that I should go see my doctor.

Overall

Most excellent I couldn’t afford a new set of Bose but for the £20 I payed I’m happy, so in short.

· They are good looking.

· They get louder.

· Sounding good at the same time.

· Could be better.

So now all I have to do is get some new tunes, Vanilla Ice I think here I come BitJunke.
