WHAT A DEAL! -- 2010-03-16
These are the best sounding headphones EVER. I bought them for my son for his birthday and made the mistake of borrowing them! I was hooked!
I have bought a pair for myself!! :)
I attend college and my computer is in the living room. Many times I need to drown out the other noises so I can concentrate. These fit perfectly around my ears and block the sound.
And they KEEP IT IN! I LOVE bass. I HATE treble. The bass sounds fantastic and no annoying highs! You get a really full and rich sound. I can't hear the outside world and they can't hear my world no matter how loud it is. I like a lot of Techno, Dance, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, 80s band music. And that all sounds great.
They are light weight and nicely adjustable. They were a lot lighter on than I expected. I wish they would make some sort of terry-cloth cover for the "ear cups" but I suppose that is just the really uncool mom in me.
I only gave them 4 stars under ease of use because the dang cord is so long... however, I know that is what a lot of people really like... I use them with my iPod... so it seems really silly to put my iPod in the other room just because the cord is long enough! :)
A Great Deal !!! -- 2010-03-16
I love these headphones !!!
I use my Sennheiser HD-202's at work mostly, and they drown out any type of surrounding noise while I listen. Though they may be a little "bassy" I still love them. They fit great too and cover my entire ear with no problem.
I would definitely recommend these before I'd pay upwards of $100.00 for anything else !!!

For the price, great bet! -- 2010-02-28
My son tears things up, so I wanted to get him some headphones that were decent but that if he ruined them in a few months, I wouldn't mind too terribly much. These were cheap! But all in all, they aren't bad!
He had no complaints about the sound quality (not that he really cares all that much), but he said sometimes they get a little static-y and he has to wiggle the cord.
For the cost of these, they are well worth it if you, like me, have a kiddo who tends to break things or not take great care of stuff and you want to test them out on a cheap item before you spend too much money. This is a good choice.
decent buy -- 2010-02-21
Sound quality not as good as expected, BUT the highs are more clear and less muddy than the ipod earbuds, bass is about the same as ipod's but can hit lower frequencies, and overall i prefer them over the ipod's. They dont fit as snug as i would like. The price is the real reason to buy these- i would never stuff my nice headphones in my backpack or go biking or snowboarding with them, which is what i use these are for.

not bad for the money but not too durable -- 2010-03-11
I was happy with these headphones for a while but then when my dog layed on them, one of the sides broke. I would have expected them to be more durable than that. The sound quality was decent, relative to the price.
Good head phone. Great sound!! -- 2010-03-09
I give this head phone a BIG thumbs-up. Sound quality is really good. Though, the cord is too long.

Koss PortaPro vs. Sennheiser PX-100 -- 2010-03-17
I conducted listening tests on a new iMac using iTunes 9.0.3, a variety of music compressed with ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec), an Apogee One audio interface, a new set of PortaPro's, and a fully broken-in pair of Sennheiser PX-100's that are a few years old. The first thing I noticed about the Portapro's was slightly better detail and bass response compared to the Sennheiser PX-100 headphones. The Portapro's also sound great with the EQ set to flat, which is surprising for headphones in this price range. Despite the lack of padding on the headband (like the Sennheiser's have), the PortaPro's are more comfortable on the ears since they have temple pads to reduce some of the pressure. These are the first pair of headphones that I've found to remain comfortable after wearing them for several hours. The Koss PortaPro's have a limited lifetime warranty, and the Sennheiser PX-100's have a limited 2 year warranty. So far I'd have to say that the PortaPro's are better, but I have no idea how well they will hold up over time since I just recently bought them. A limited lifetime warranty (even if you're responsible for the shipping costs) shows that Koss has confidence in their product.
the best use of $30 ever -- 2010-03-15
although the portapro has been around forever, and many reviews have bashed its classic design, i've actually been recieving compliments for it.i think the design for the portapro is soo old that the younger generation think of it as something modern.
hmm, as many people pointed out, the portapro will pull your hair out. but this problem can be simply solved by placing a piece of tape over that area.
the sound is amazing, everything is so clear and bass is strong.
as far as potability, the portapro CAN be rolled up into a ball an placed into a pouch, but i dont even bother to do that. instead, i just wear it on my neck all day. it is definitely stylish :)
the portapro IS comfortable. it has cushions above the ear piece that clings onto your head. this really helps keep the headphone on the ear even if you are actively moving and removes the pressure your ear may receive as with other headphones. hmm, it does not have behind the head option, so a visible headband mark on your hair will appear.
there is a comfort zone option, that i never use.
overall, the portapro is a great product and definitely worth the price. it comes with a lifetime warranty. it is definitely a must have for people who enjoy hi quality sounds and make the perfect gift

Comfortable with Great Sound Quality -- 2010-03-15
o These headphones fit comfortably, but tight, so they become uncomfortable over time.
o The sound quality and noise cancellation is superb.
o WARNING: There is no inline volume control and the sound can come across VERY LOUD. I have to be very careful to set the computer volume low before putting the headphones on to avoid becoming deaf.
Short & sweet -- 2010-03-12
I'm really enjoying my Sennheiser HD-280 Professional Headphones. They sound great, are comfortable and fold nicely. The only drawback is their size. You'll look ridiculous walking around town, yet ideal for long rides or home use. Enjoy, I have.

Sennheiser HD-555 -- 2010-03-17
This is by far the best headphones you can buy for the price. I tested the headphones against the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre.
The sound in these are more dynamic. The highs are cleaner and the base is also cleaner. Someone said that he Beats headphones are bassy. I don't agree. The Beats headphones are louder at low volume due to buit in amplifier but if you turn up volume in HD-555 you will hear deeper base and higher highs without loss of clariy as you do in the Beats.
When I first heard the Beats I thought they were the best headphones I ever heard. They were much better than some of the other Sennheiser headphones i havee heard. These came in the mail a week later and with the beats at volume 3 and Sennheiser at voulme 6 Sennheiser takes the crown and you don't need batteries for them to work.
For the price get the HD-555's and you will be happy or get both and compare for yourself.
Don't forget the HD-555 are open air and Beats are noise cancelling so if you need noise canceling the Beats is better in this case and Beats is also better than other Sennheiser noise canceling i have heard.
Other people have touched on otheer qualities and other models so no need to repeat.
Thank you Amazon for fast shipment.
Good quality sound... for me and everyone else in the $#&!ing room! -- 2010-03-12
These headphones provide good quality sound. But Sennheiser's open-ear technology defeats the purpose of headphones. Yeah, the sound may be good, but everyone around you can hear what you're listening to. Forget about taking these on a plane, unless you want to anger the fat alcoholic next to you who just wants to get some shuteye.
Also, the main plug is the big kind. It has an attachment for regular plugs like i-pods, or your computer, etc., but it's not very long. I found that it didn't fit well in my computer or my sound system and as a result, I often received sound out of only one ear.
I guess if you like good sound, but can't have the music thumping for the neighbors to wake-up to, then this is a good product. But don't expect your girlfriend to be happy with you when she's trying to watch "Animal Cops" or "Say Yes to the Dress" or whateverthe%&#@ever when you are rocking out to the Star Wars soundtrack in the same room.

Solid performance at a great price -- 2010-03-16
I was interested in buying a lower cost set of headphones that were still compact but had increased sound quality over that of Apple's standard ear-buds that come with ipods. I was expecting to have to pay >$40 to get a decent set, so I was hesitant with these being less than $15. Boy was I surprised, the sound quality is great, they are comfortable (although they are a little hard to get on at first) and still pretty compact. For the price, you can't beat these. Easily worth the money!!! You would probably have to spend 3 or 4 times the money to hear a noticeable difference in sound quality.
Perfect running headphones! -- 2010-03-12
I had a nice set of earbuds before this, but the cable eventually went out and they started sounding crappy. I run with headphones on a lot, and the earbud style headphones would always fall out of my ears once I started sweating. Thus, after a little research, I decided to try these "clip on" style headphones by Koss, and I couldn't have made a better choice!
They're lightweight, sound excellent (comparable to my Grado SR-60s), stay on my ears while running, and are CHEAP! What more can you ask for? I'm thinking of picking up a couple pairs of these for my family for Christmas, and a couple more for myself for when the drivers blow or the cables inevitably wear out (why cant all headphones have replaceable cables?).
Anyway, get these, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome quality -- 2010-03-17
I have tried all the other brands,but none of them give me the experiance of quality sound as these.Seems like a high price but worth it if you want quality.
Saved lots of money not buying it from our local store.
I will buy everything i can from amazon.com,saved me lots of money so far.
Amazing -- 2010-03-17
No problems with this whats so ever. Read it was pricey but you get what you pay for. Tried them all and this is the best. After all he is a doctor.

Sub-par Audio Quality -- 2010-02-22
Below average sound quality. Most audiophiles will proably call it poor. I'd recommend theSony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups instead. They are of similar build, vastly superior sound quality, and are in the same price range. I went back to my Sony headphones after 2 minutes of listening to this product.
They're headphones -- 2010-02-16
It's hard to rate headphones but what I can say about them is that I use them just about everyday at work and they are comfortable and sound great. I like the fact that they fold up as well because I can easily take them with me if need be. Otherwise they are stereo headphones, not much more to say.

Good for the Price -- 2010-03-16
I owed the Bose before someone stole them. That said, these are not near as good as the bose, but for only $50 they can't be beat. Very comfortable and a very long cord.
Good sound -- 2010-03-10
Everyone is looking for light weight in your ear technology, if your sitting at home these headphones are great. Sound is rich, comfort is outstanding. If you need to run around use the in your ear models, if your at home these are great!
