I might not have ever tried the Porta Pros if not for the $20 Massdrop KPH30i. Those started my obsession with Koss. Now I have four pairs of Koss on-ears π
I did a video comparing three of 'em, including the Porta Pro. The PPs are the warmest of the three, most bass, but still pretty solid mids and highs. It's a more laid-back listen than the energetic KSC75, with the KPH30i landing somewhere between them.
My only complaint with the Porta Pro is the handband that won't keep its size adjustment. I won't complain about the looks of the headphone, I think it looks awesome and it's a great conversation starter. Fun to put these on someone's head and surprise them with the sound out of something that looks clearly 40 years old.
mrsalleeHey, just want to say I love your Koss comparo, which I stumbled upon by finding your Grado Wireless review when researching that (also, great review!). Loving your analysis.
mrsalleeI have the KPH30i, which I really appreciate for how little it costs. I find it very comfy and unobtrusive and sounds surprisingly good. I think it punches way above its weight for the money.
