Koss Porta Pro Wireless 2.0 Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones, 20+ Hour Battery, USB-C Charging, Microphone, Analog Audio Pass Through, Retro Style, Black

I love the comfort of Koss headphones. The gentle feel of the foam pads on my ears is a comforting nostalgia trip since I have owned Koss headphones since childhood. They feel like a snug blanket. Plus they're reasonably priced! However, I like to pace around when listening - and after several pairs of Koss headphones got totally wrecked when I snagged the chord on chairs, car doors, etc... I decided that maybe there's something to be said for wireless. Quality The amazing thing about these is that they look almost like a normal pair of Porta Pro headphones. This feels pretty amazing to me, and more than a little magical. Functionality - The buttons which play/pause, and raise and lower volume, don't feel like they work consistently. There have been a few times I've booted it up where things are just out of whack, and I have to restart it. This has never been a major problem, more of a quirk. I can live with it. Connectivity - No frills here. No app, no EQ, no firmware updates in sight. It just connects to bluetooth, delivers the signature Koss Sound very reliably, nothing more - fine by me. If I stay on the same floor it never loses connectivity. Mic Quality - Pretty decent! I can take calls on it, it works. Ergonomics - Unlike regular Porta Pros, the adjustable strap on the headphone does not retract in a spring loaded way when removed from your head - instead they keep their shape, like a normal pair of headphones. Fine by me - the original design was charming but a little more eccentric in comparison. - I have sometimes snagged my hair in the double banded design - it doesn't happen often, but it does happen. - The tight / loose settings work great, just like on the original version. Sound Quality - Very similar to the originals. Which is to say, extremely agreeable. Portability - For a pair of headphones like this, excellent. They are not called the Porta Pro for nothing after all. You have to bend them to get them in the included case, but they do fit. Battery Life - Adequate. I don't feel like I'm running out all the time Desired Features - I'd love it if the next version had USB-C audio capability. If I could charge my headphones, and listen at the same time over the cable to get high resolution audio, that would be great. I do like the included adapter which lets you plug it in as a regular pair of headphones. - I'd love it if the next version had sensors to detect whether you were wearing them, in case I forget to turn them off - I think I can see just where a sensor could go. Headphones without sensors leave the possibility of scrambling to turn off bluetooth on your phone while a caller is trying to figure out what the hell you're doing.

I love these headphones. Sure the price is a bit high but they are still the most comfortable, best sounding “classic type” headphones. I have used the wired ones for many years and bought this wireless Bluetooth version now to basically use with listening to music from my IPhone 17 Pro Max. The sound is just as good as the wired headphones. I find the adjustable headband comfortable and easy to use. Other than the price, it’s a keeper and I even bought it while the price was reduced to $80. No complaints. Very happy with the Bluetooth connectivity and have not had any connections dropped. It works great with the Bluetooth connectivity to my IPhone.

EDIT: Okay, so I’ve had these for a bit now and the sound quality is so great! I’m moving it down to a 3 star though. The mic has never worked on a phone call or Zoom call or really ever anything, not once. It has also been able to connect to every device via Bluetooth except any Windows devices. I contacted customer support and they assured me that it should connect to Windows devices, yet I’ve tried multiple PC’s and nothing. It even connects to my Linux but not my Windows lol. Asides from those two problems the sound quality is great, I forget they’re on because they’re so comfy, and I really am happy with my purchase I just wouldn’t recommend it to anybody who needs to use a mic for calls or Bluetooth on Windows. I bought the wired Porta Pro’s and same day returned them to buy the wireless ones because I ended up loving them so much. The only thing that really restricts my usage of this device is that it seems when you plug into something via the USB-C to Aux pass through analog cord you can no longer use the mic until you switch back to Bluetooth. I’m also having a technical issue where my Windows 11 PC cannot discover the Porta Pro’s at all. My iPhone picks it up so fast it’s very nice, but unusable on my PC while wireless it seems. Not dinging a point off for that yet because I want to test it on multiple computers to see if it’s a problem with my Bluetooth driver (even though I updated, disabled, uninstalled, reinstalled, enabled the driver) or if it’s a problem with the Porta Pro’s Bluetooth compatibility with Windows 11. Not good for gaming on Xbox. The reason I bought this was to use the analog pass through into the Xbox controller and then use it wirelessly on my phone at other times. Unfortunately, because you can’t use the mic while plugged in, your only option is to buy a Bluetooth converter for your Xbox controller if you wish to use the mic as well. That wouldn’t be a major problem as they’re not very pricy, but it is actually a HUGE problem for Xbox. Xbox puts all Bluetooth connections through the controller into a “phone call mode”. The problem with that is that it makes the audio go from stereo to mono. No more hearing the direction of sounds in the game if you do it that way. So, you really can’t use the mic on this for gaming at all. Be aware of that, but these are extremely great for speaker quality at this price. Since it’s the pads that rest on the sides of your ears, and since the headband is not noticeable, AND because it is such a lightweight problem, I have already forgotten that I’m wearing them twice in the few hours I’ve had these. They are extremely comfortable. EDIT--- There is a solution to the mic not working for gaming. I asked ChatGPT if there was a USB-C to Aux analog pass-through cord with an inline mic that is compatible with the Porta Pro Wireless. Sure enough, Koss makes one specifically for that purpose. Koss KUSB-50 Analog Audio Pass Through Cord for KPH30 Wireless and Porta Pro Wireless That's what you need to get if you want to use a mic while plugged in ^^ I also purchased YAXI Earpads for this product, as well. Super great comfort upgrade. A lot of people also claim it makes the sound much better actually due to a larger pad to disperse the sound across, though it is hard to notice a difference unless you have one Porta Pro with the normal pads and one Porta Pro with the YAXI's to compare side by side I suppose.

So I ordered a pair of beige ones. Looks like I'm not the first one to get the wrong color.

Leicht und ohne Probleme zu verbinden ! Der Klang ist auch sehr gut 👍

sounds like normal koss porta pro wired albeit a small loss in sound quality compared to wired. price @ 20k is very steep for non anc simple af headphone. i just bought it for the cool design and style. for sound just spend 5k more and buy sony xm5 instead. overall i’m satisfied with the product since I know what i bought it for.

100/10 El color blanco resalta mucho. Compré almohadillas aparte y la combinación de colores es genial. Lo único que no me gustó es que el cable es color negro pero bueno eso se puede comprar.
