Sad to think when I first heard these I thought they were excellent. Then I tried a pair of Sony earbuds and realized what I was missing. Then I finally got a pair of porta pro jr's. These are probably some of the worst headphones you can get. No bass. Screechy treble and their kind of expensive for crap. Get a pair of koss's. They kick a-hole. |

Strength:
best sound quality of any headphone i've experienced
Weakness:
cord is too long i had these for 2 years and can't find anything else that comes close. it's worth the $30 in my opinion... they're not bulky like other models of similar quality. There's no weird echo or fuzz noise like the cheap ones- they produce a full rich sound quality. |

Strength:
Light weight, single-sided cord
Weakness:
Weak bass, uneven treble, loose fit When I first started upgrading headphones that came with my personal electronics, this was the first model I came across. Since then, I have gone to bigger and better cans. Weak bass and muddy highs. Koss (Porta Pro) has overboosted bass and even muddier highs. This set is for butt-wipes who don’t know anything about quality audio. [It’s discontinued and no longer available~~for Sony’s small, lightweight open-aire headphones, there is a very gigantic gap~~big enough to drive a fleet of big freight trucks through~~between the MDR-301LP ($20 MSRP) and the MDR-605LP ($70).] I’ll have to give this model a very mediocre rating.
