The porta pro head phones deliver exceptionally deep bass and wide frequency response from 15 - 20,000 Hz. The main advantage is that most elements are constructed from mylar which minimizes the distortion of the sound. Neodymium iron baron rare earth magnet structures enable the Porta Pro to deliver greater volume.Oxygen free copper voice coils improve signal transmission. (all the technical data has been taken from koss.com). The headphones cost around 30 pounds but can be found cheaper at amazon.com or ebay.com although from personal experience I will recommend that you buy obly brand new products IN PACKAGE.

Advantages: Great sound Disadvantages: You can't marry them!
Amazing. I got these and they blew me away! The sound quality is superb, much better than the more expensive headphones i have experienced. I don't have them on very loud but I do use the 'bass' setting on my ipod, which is awesome. =]
The design can fold into itself for traveling and when they do this they do look a bit flimsy, but they are very durable. Which was good as soon as the music started I could honestly say I never wanted to take them ... ...and I think more headphones should be designed like this. The cushioned speakers are really soft and you have an adjustment to make them a firm fit or a softer one (I prefer firm :] ). There's also a slider thing (the two black bits on the rounded silver band in the photo) that makes the headphones bigger or smaller. I think I have quite a small head and they fitted beautifully and a friend tried them who is quite big-headed and they fitted him so ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Koss Porta Pro
The Porta Pro features dynamic elements that deliver exceptionally rich, deep bass and a remarkably wide frequency response from 15-25,000 Hz to capture every nuance in your favorite movie or musical performance. Constructed from mylar, the elements are extremely rigid, minimizing mechanical distortion and ensuring exceedingly accurate sound reproduction. Neodymium iron boron rare earth magnet structures enable the Porta Pro to deliver greater volume so you can hear every note, even when competing against the sounds of a commuter train with a low-voltage MP3 or disc player. Oxygen free copper voice coils improve signal transmission and conduction for cleaner, clearer sound. Foam earcushions provide an open, hear-through sound that lets you keep in touch with your surroundings perfect to wear while running, at work, or while traveling.
