Koss - Porta Pro Wireless

Just got my nephew(12yo) a Fiio ECHO Mini(MP# player w/bluetooth) and a set of Koss Porta Pro's.

Super fun! [https://www.amazon.com/engineering-Operator-Sequencer-Recording-Microphone/dp/B079M56Z4G](https://www.amazon.com/engineering-Operator-Sequencer-Recording-Microphone/dp/B079M56Z4G)

Porta Pro Wireless and KPH30 Wireless have audio pass through so you even if the battery takes a shit you can still use them for the rest of eternity as if they were the wired version. Will only buy bluetooth headphones that can do this.

I picked up the Koss Porta Pro Wireless. They are foldable and not as bulky as most over ear headphones. Sometimes I take the included case but usually just don’t. [Koss Porta Pro](https://koss.com/products/porta-pro-wireless)

The wireless 2.0 works well for phone calls. Same sound signature as the originals as well.

Porta Pro Wireless is the most comfortable wireless headphone I've ever used, due to the light weight and clamp force. If you need noise cancellation, I can recommend the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra - it sounds ok once you turn down the bass in the app.

Koss KPH40 or Porta Pro are both a great start. They sound good, and are more comfortable than any other headphones on the market IMO. A step up would be the Sennheiser HD 550. Balanced sound and comfortable chassis. I'm internally debating whether I like it more than my HD 600. Those options are all open-back and offer zero sound isolation. If you need something closed, IEMs are the only game in town below $100. Above that, the Sennheiser HD 620S offers excellent sound isolation.

Dude it’s so good. I like having a large collection, but I could make do with just the Noire X, Porta Pro, and AirPods Pro.

the porta pro is super durable. I daily the wireless 2.0 and they had survived a lot of abuse.

I would recommend an open back headphone. Hats toto recomend specifically without knowing budget, taste, or set up.... but i find the ATH line from audio technica to be particularly light and airy feeling on the head. No sweat they're. The lower in the line models will run on most outputs, but something like the r70xa is over 400ohm and would need an amp. If you are just meaning wireless, your going to struggle to get any wireless open back of good quality without some tinkering. And even then, open back is meant to be used on one place as it won't isolate outer noise. If it must be wireless, I'd lastly say to try something like the Koss porta pro BT. Better than most in ours range as far as sound, can be wired or wireless. They sound better to me with a set of yaxi pads

Koss Portapro wireless. Just tried them recently, sound amazing like the originals, and as light. Totally open so you can hear the world. Around 100 USD/Eur.

not weird at all, they look cool as hell, maybe the coolest looking ones around.

you think koss is uncomfortable? They are as comfy and light as it gets. I forget i'm wearing them if there's no music on. They're not "trendy" to like, they're just great sounding comfortable headphones for the money. If there's anything to criticize them about it's that they're pretty flimsy and have no water resistance, a light rain while I was working broke them.

Koss porta pro wireless 2 All they need is phone today. If you give them small airpods, they gonna close and leave world behind, if you give them Porta pro wireless, they gonna listen to music in nature or park or beach. Qobuz or tidal for serious music lovers with unlimited data tariff. Apple music if their hands are glued to iphone. Youtube premium with youtube music to save on costs. They gonna ignore music and watch youtube instead and throw koss porta pros away with youtube premium. Porta pro is openback, so not for public transport. But it is such music loving statement. It is (probably) the best gift you can give to kid with some soul. I would choose qobuz and portas as a package.
