2.0 out of 5 stars look nice though..., 14 Nov 2006
I'm a music lover and mostly I can say about this item is it sure look nice.Interms of peformance,when you used this headphones,the person next to you will say "Dude,can you turn down the volume??" its about the same when you hear the level of sound on the back of the speaker.Then when you look really carefully you can see that the joinings in't really stiff,ie if you're a kinna person that would be listening to the music at nite before sleep,please don't buy this headphones because even your hand can break it in half.
For the money you invested is not really worthed actually.If you're really2 looking for good sound quality,long lasting, and probably nice design,I might suggest Philips,Sanheiser or Panasonic,OR you might endup writing similar reviews like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trow away your porta pro; ur 40 knocks everything out!, 13 Sep 2003
I have earlier owned koss porta pro. They are among the best portable headphones you can get. The reason for bying ur 40, was that i needed som that could cover my ears for my trips in the woods during wintertime,.,.,., (not really interesting).

But the sound quality and clairity is interesting. It is unbelivable. Put them on, along with your favourite song, and enter heaven... That was how i experienced it. They play extremely clear, and they do at the same time deliver strong and deep bass..

Along with my iriver ipf 390-t, they delivers a lot of power. They allso work well with low priced protable cd-players.

Oh my god,, fantastic.. A lot better than porta pro!!!

And on top of that, they are god to wear. What more can you wish? Run and buy!!!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed..., 20 Nov 2008
By FAMOUS NAME (UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      

I bought these whilst searching for Headphones similar to the standard I was used to in the: Sanyo PH 240 model, which had to be replaced because they had stopped making them. (much to my annoyance) I was tempted by the description of these, and persuaded by the name 'Koss', but I was disappointed...

Firstly, they may be lightweight, but this is only due to the fact that they are so 'cheaply' made, but this does not reflect in the price... (my Sanyo were half the price but twice as heavy and durable) After a very short time, all the silver coloured plastic was wearing off (which looked terribly cheap and nasty) along with the lettering of the name 'Koss', and the markings for 'Left' and 'Right ' ear are all but gone...

Regarding the sound; like many Headphones that claim to have great 'bass', much of the 'treble' is lost as a consequence. With the Sanyo Headphones I had, there was both lots of 'bass' but with plenty of 'treble' too, and it's the 'treble' that produces much of the clarity that is lost on these...

But I think the most annoying thing with these, was the terribly short lead - I found it most inadequate, and had to buy an extention as soon as possible!

However, I do use them still, but only for TV where sound quality is not that important. Listening to music with these just irritates me because the quality just isn't there...
