OK, with some real weaknesses...

These do not sound as good as Portapro2's -- the sound is more constricted, with less treble extension and a poorer soundstage (bass is just as strong). They have the same Koss house sound, but are a step down -- I am disappointed. They do sound better than freebies included with portable CD players, and you'll certainly notice the improvement.

The cord is the real weakness -- it's just horrible, awful cheap plastic and I predict will not last anytime at all with active portable use. The volume control slider is also cheap and guarantee will get scratchy sounding fast. OK they're only $15, but I've come to expect a better level of quality from Koss... shame on them.

Verdict -- if you're really poor, or you can't stand the look of the Portapro/Portapro2's then get these. Otherwise avoid them, as they are just too cheaply made to be durable.

Extremely good quality headphones!

I tell you, never in my life have i seen such good quality headphones for under twenty dollars. This headphones have such quality that is beyond great! Koss has nailed it! It can fit into any mp3/cd walkman device and whats best is that it comes with a volume control tab, so if you feel like blasting your music at a super high volume, you can! Although they can look a little bit dorky, they feel extremely comfortable when you put them on around your ears. You can of course adjust the fit of these wonderful headphones which also makes this product a better buy.

If you want great quality headphones that feel comfortable, buy these ones made buy Koss!

Certainly worth the money

I just purchased an ipod and really enjoy music so I wanted something much better than the earbuds that come with it. I began my research and read a number of reviews on various headphones. I also wanted to be able to use them on my home stereo. I read a number of reviews on Sennheiser, Grado, Koss, etc. There were pros and cons to all of them. However the Senn PX100 and Koss Portapro rated consistently well. While reading a review on the Koss Portapro, one reviewer also commented that the KTXPRO1 was very good. So I decided to go with the Koss KTXPRO1 AND the Portapro. I was not disappointed by the KTXPRO1 however compared to the Portapro, they are not in the same league. So if you're looking for a good set of phones and can't afford the $37 go with these; you won't be disappointed. However, if you can spend the $37, get the Portapro as they sound much fuller.
