Some interesting facts: the Koss Portario headphones were first introduced in 1984. Over the years the company preserved their original design but improved their performance.
I have been using the koss products for years now, mainly buying it from koss.com as sometimes it is difficult to find them in the shops. Once I got a pair of headphones on ebay but was disappointed as it said that they were brand new but they obviously weren`t.
The porta pro head phones deliver exceptionally deep bass and wide frequency response from 15 - 20,000 Hz.
