Can anyone explain what's the point in this deal when you can easily get Porta Pros on ebay for $25-35? This edition doesn't even have a fabric cable (like the 25th anniversary edition Porta Pros had), so why everyone is so excited with it?
Geek_ShaBecause I think they're cool

Geek_ShaThe version of this Massdrop Porta Pro sold on Amazon and on the Koss site is $59 and is the latest update to the line. I got mine because I love the color scheme, and I've been collecting special editions of PPs for a long time now. I can also tell you that when you buy what I would call the "classic" Porta Pro from Amazon you are getting a lesser quality pair. The sound is the same, but the quality of the cable is poor (not as supple and never really loses the kinks), the "comfort zone" sliders don't work well or one side works while the other doesn't, and the screw that's on the left ear frame is replaced with a plastic plug (even though the Amazon pictures show otherwise). There are also a lot of fakes on eBay (especially the 25th Anniversary Models) so you need to be careful when purchasing.
