Koss Porta Pro
These used to be our favorite $50-and-under headphone. That illustrious badge of honor has likely been passed onto the fab Sennheiser PX100 for many listeners, but the Koss PortaPros still remain a killer deal on an excellent headphone -- matter of fact, some headphone afficionados think the Koss actually sound better; we think it’s just too darn close to call. If you have an iPod, Mp3 device, laptop/PC, portable CD/DVD/MiniDisc player, WalkMan, or portable radio, these will perform wonderfully for all music genres. However, we feel the Sennheiser PX100 has raised the standard for compact, collapsible, ergonomically comfortable, and great-sounding portable "street-style" headphones. Our recommendation is to probably check those out first... But if you’re a die-hard Koss fan though, these are clearly the mobile-application headphones for you plus that ultra-sweet Koss lifetime warranty sure doesn't hurt any!
Two small pads on the sides of the PortaPro headband mean that the earpieces tend to rest simultaneously on your ears and on the sides of your head, giving them a very secure feel in active applications. The earpieces collapse inward and the headband curls up to clip at each end, allowing the headphones to fold down quite small for storage / travel. The headphone's 'Y'-type cord is connected at each earpiece by a straight 4.5ft cable, and it is terminated to a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-plug. A full-size 1/4" plug adapter is handily included in the Koss package. Lifetime Koss warranty!
