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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, the Porta Pro might not work. Amazing sound quality for the price, but they are a bit open, so the sound of your bike might be too much.

They look cool and it is trendy to like them but very uncomfortable, grab your hair, and sound is less than good. Sorry.

I bought them, but unfortunately the codec support is just appallingly bad. Bad SBC (not even above medium bitrate), and low bitrate AAC. So disappointing
