Koss 'Porta PRO": A superb headphone. At under $100. it's one of (in not THE) hi-fi bargain of the century -this and last ! I recall vividly this superb headphone back when it was introduced. I was stunned (but most pleased) to learn it remained available in 2007, when I purchased two sets -one for my girlfriend (the other for her 14-year old son). Remarkably, I purchased a set for her in 1988! What I recall back in 88', was that, if anything the PP had a slightly elevated (yet still excellent) bass reproduction. Not so, with CD as the source (in 2007), the previously noted LF 'aberration' was in fact a result of 'source' issues (i.e. cassette tape anomalies -uneven LF response) -and NOT the headphones !
The Koss 'Porta Pro' will not only go toe-to-toe with anything near (and way above its price) but will also shame most with its excellent, linear (i.e. accurate) frequency response, low distortion and excellent detail retrieval. The sound is "clean", accurate, even and possessed of some astonishing music making capability. A GREAT headphone. Remarkably, you also get a great fitting can -one that simply doesn't move as your head is bobbing this way and that -they remain stationary (on your head) and very, very, comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. There is not one single thing I do not like (is not lovable) about this great product. And I am ridiculously (notoriously) critical.
It's as if your stealing them at under $100. At $37.99, we really should feel guilty -and purchase a few pair. Every one who receives one (say -as a stocking stuffer), will love you. Forever ! lol (And get this, a Lifetime Warranty -as has always been the case -since I can recall- that in all fairness should be the price of the warranty itself. Koss (the company) are really short-changing themselves by a long, wide margin. It should be (fairly) priced at $100-$125.
Very highly recommended.
