Calling the PortaPros "TikTok headphones" made me irrationally angry 😭

I've never liked the beige color way, but I've gotta say with the orange cushions they look pretty nice.

god i fucking hate trends, been using these for 20 years now

I've owned probably most popular open-back headphones up to around 350-400 dollars. Never in a million years did I think I would find my dream headphones for such a low price, and on-ear? I was never a fan of on-ear, after having bad experience when I was younger with painful ears. Yet, the Porta Pro's I can wear all day. The sound is exactly what I was looking for. Amazing!

the industry seems to be avoiding super light and comfy earphones, but a lot of us love them

Audiophile here. Koss has a reputation for being THE KING of making really affordable headphones for really cheap. Porta Pros are known for sounding dark. They have an emphasis on the bass and there's a bit of extra mid bass so they can sound a tad muddy. They also have a recessed treble. Sort of a downward tilting sound signature. It's a very unique sound signature that people really love. They definitely benefit from the Yaxi pads for giving you a bit more treble and balancing out the bass so all frequencies are better represented, while still keeping their unique tuning.

Another great review Isaac!!! I’ve been fascinated by the resurgence of these headphones, and I think you nailed it with the 80s fashion coming back. I’ve been going back to wired, back to my iPod classic and I’ve missed it. Simple, just me and my music, no interference, no battery drops from AirPods, no annoying notifications

[gilberttosanchez]

i've been knowing about these ever since i became an audiophile and was surprised to see them around my school and youngters like me wearing them.

If you break them you don't have to buy another pair, there's a lifetime warranty. I've been using them since the late 80s. I've bought a few pairs, and had many repaired or replaced. Best headphones for the money, there's a reason they're still in production.

I saw a girl wearing these today while visiting Paris and they immediately intrigued me. Didn’t know how they were called so I googled “y2k headphones” lol

[PoorMuttski]

Anyone on the fence: get off it! These phones are the real deal. I been buying these phones for at least 10 years, and no matter what other phones or buds I buy, there is always room for these. And never underestimate how great wired phones are. These are the physical embodiment of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Except… maybe put a Lightning connector on it…”

Excited to see your channel grow. Great review with some solid opinions on the tech space today.

Oh man! Calling these one as "TikTok headphones" was criminal! 😂

[klulu-kun]

I don't use Tiktok. I was building a 90s cyberpunk warcore outfit for a concert event and I thought "I wonder if there's some retro headphones out there" and found these. Never knew they were trendy.

[Shxrpnesss]

these are actually pretty recommended on /r/headphones cause they sound great for the price

[nothingiseverperfect]
