Koss 155475 "SPORTA PRO" Headphones (3.5 mm Jack) iMac/Laptop/DJ/MP3 Players - Black

I bought these after reading reviews of them and other Koss products. These are great headphones that are among the best I've used for a long time. Sound: Quite simply excellent, and for the price I have not heard better. The range of tone is brilliant, giving strong and clear bass without sounding muddy. Treble coming through bright and rich without any tinniness. This sound quality is something lacking on any other lightweight headphones I've used. Even when turned down to a low volume the sound is still bright and healthy. I'm no audiophile, but I've been seriously impressed by these headphones Comfort: On the ear type, foam covered earpieces. Nice and light with a secure fit. They can be worn as either over the head or behind due to the movable adjustable headband. As a sports style headphone they hold themselves on the head firmly, so no bother when you're getting a bit active. Construction: Seems good, I can't find anything in them that looks like a weak point. They can be curled up, folded in, and clipped together for stowing away. With a lifetime guarantee too, who's going to grumble about that. Look: Lets be honest now... there are more stylish options out there. But as I can't see them when they're on my head I don't mind much. Extras: 1\4" jack plug adapter and a stash bag. Overall: For less than £20, I have been really pleased. Strongly recommended.

I purchased these after doing research on headphones suitable for sports and workouts, particulary running. My ear buds were not suitable for long runs as they would often shift in my ear and eventually fall out. This became especially bad as soon as I started sweating. I wanted headphones that would stay in place and were lightweight, and with decent sound. After doing 2, one hour long runs with these, I can happily give them top marks. They can be worn with the strap behind your head, or on top of your head, with equal comfort. This is because they are very light, and because the strap exerts some pressure to keep the ear pads on your ears. They stayed in place throughout the runs (thread the cable through the neck of your shirt and you won't even notice it is there!). Even though the foam pads do get wet once you start sweating, you really don't notice is as you are obviously wet first. They dry out quickly and seem to be holding up fine. As I am using these exclusively for sport, I was not looking for the best sounding headphones. That being said, these absolutely kill the sound out of the ipod ear buds I was using previously. The difference in the bass is significant, so you will have much better sound quality with these than standard ear buds. Are there better sounding headphones out there? Probably. But these do sound really good even if just chilling out listening to music at home. Finally, throw in the carrying case, the Koss lifetime guarantee (which I hope to never use, but have heard rave reviews about), and the low price, and you have a 5 star product!

I like them,cant remember them costing as much last year, but they are well made and comfortable to wear , sound good too. They have a fold back feature which i like. I think they look better than the picture and darker. I would have them again at the right price, which rates them as a good buy, mind your hair, it can get caught at the to Sound good, worth a try, a bit different. Lasted over a year so far, so stronger than they look. Now, where did i put them.

So I've had these headphones only a couple of days but I can confidently say that they are the best pair I've owned! Sound quality - The bass and treble response are second to none. The mid-range is a bit lacking, but that's hard to notice for a non-audiophile like me. If you just want a pair of headphones for cheap, the clarity and quality delivered by these will definitely not disappoint Comfort - I've found that the neck-phone configuration isn't the most stable, at least on my head and the two fobs that support the band on your temples do exert an unwanted pressure that makes them slightly uncomfortable but not so much that you couldn't listen for at least 3-4 hours at a stretch. So on the basis of sound quality, price and the slight downsides of the stability of the alternate configuration and mild annoyance of those supporting fobs, I rate these as 4 stars and would definitely recommend it to anyone who was looking for a really good set of headphones... EDIT: Used them for a bout 4 months now, and I have to say they still impress! I adjusted the equalizers on my playback devices and the clarity is even better now... Even when travelling on the noisy underground in London, there's still enough sound quality to keep you happy and they're comfortable over a very long period of time once you get used to them. Fantastic buy, highly recommended...

Bargain price. Great sound.

These headphone are great for jogging. The sound quality is superb for the price. The build quality is quite good as well. I was looking for a good headphone for running. I knew I didn't want in-ear monitors as they are very uncomfortable for me and I don't like the fact that with most models you can't hear your surroundings very well, which I believe is very important when you are running on a road. I also didn't want ear buds as the sound quality is very subpar. In fact, the bass response in ear buds are so bad that it forces you to turn up the volume to higher and the higher until the high frequencies end up damaging your hearing. The Koss SportaPro is an on-ear open headphone. This allows for you to hear your surroundings, while at the same time enjoy airy and dynamic music. Talking about sound quality, I am very impressed. These headphones sound well above their price range. If you were listening to Apple ear buds like I was before getting these, you will know what I mean when I say it's like getting a whole new set of ears. The bass is tight and accurate, but can get a little muddy when pushed to the limit. Where these cans shine is in the midrange. It is even, transparent, and dynamic. Unless you have had a great pair of speakers or headphones in the past you will be surprised at how many notes the Sportapros will dig up that you have never heard before when listening to your old favorite tracks. The highs aren't too shabby either. They hold their weight and were surprisingly clear and soft for this price bracket. The build quality of the SportaPro is solid while light weight, which makes for a very good exercise pair of headphones. They are built to last. The top band, believe it or not, is metal. There are also 2 metal clips that hold these cans together when you fold them up. They could have just put plastic clips on there, but Koss seems like they are serious about quality and went the extra mile on this one. The one caveat seems to be the cords that go into the drivers. They are very thin and have no bend protection. I'm not sure how well those cords would hold up if you got tangled and it got tugged or if bent the cord a certain way every time you folded them up. Overall, you truly can't beat these for the price. It's amazing what Koss has done with these to make them so affordable. I wasn't necessarily looking for great sound quality when getting a pair of exercise headphones. I just wanted something comfortable and sound quality that wouldn't necessarily make me want to throw up. Even after all the great reviews, I was surprised at the performance level of the SportaPros. These are an excellent buy.

Buenos auriculares a precio asequible, un sonido correcto y los uso para todo, incluso los llevo para correr y están aguantando bien el paso del tiempo. Se pliegan para guardarlo con la bolsa que viene, el cable es largo, la diadema es ajustable y abatible. Como pega las almohadillas podrían ser un poco más cómodas.

Hatte bereits zweimal den Porta Pro, welcher leider beide male durch Kabelbruch nach ca einem Jahr Wackelkontakte aufwies. Nun versuche ich es mal mit dem Sporta Pro in Kombination mit dem Bluetooth Headset BH-111 von Nokia und meinem HTC One X+. Der Kopfhörer wirkt zwar leicht aber trotzdem robust verarbeitet! Kurz und knapp: Der Sound ist über alle Zweifel erhaben und der Tragekomfort super! Ein Wort um den Sound zu beschreiben? DEFINIERT! Ausgeprägter druckvoller Bass, insgesamt transparente Mitten und klare Höhen. Trage sie u.a. beim Joggen, beim Workout und im Kraftraum. Perfekt, da sie im Gegensatz zu InEars nicht rausfallen beim Sport und sich durch das headset ein Kabelbruch hoffewntlich vermeiden lässt. Kann sie nur empfehlen!
