Bottom Line: I bought these to use with my Smartphone for mobile music (I can't stand earbuds). About 2 months ago my home audiophile Sennheiser 580s (http://www.stereophile.com/headphones/1294senn) stopped working, and the Koss Portapros were called into every day service.
They're portables, so they obviously not as comfortable as the Sennheisers, and they do not cup your ear, and do not have the enveloping sound like the Sennheisers, but DAMN these thing hold up amazingly well against $200+ headphones. I miss my Sennheisers, but not nearly as much as I thought I would.
I just can't think of a better $50 piece of audio equipment.

Bottom Line: Well, were do i start... i guess at the beginning, with my impression of the sound. The thing about this is that the sound itself is quite good, but doesn't block out any sound at all from the surroundings. And it can be really annoying at times.
Then second the comfort; I think the're a bit to stiff, they can also be really clamping around your head. And that's not good.
Ok, i've been owning these over a year, and i've treated them very good. No matter two sets have already broke.
So the're not very durable either.
My first impression was good, but that was until i tried (and buyed) the a1100 from denon. That's when i realised this was s***, so i actually went out and through this in a container. But if your budget is tighter than mine i would slightly reccommend them as an option.

Bottom Line:
I have a lot of headphones (entry level, mid and hi end, like AKG K1000, about 25 units!!). The Portapro are the best relation quality for the money that you can find. They are very light and comfortables too. The sound is very flat, depending the positioning (touching or not your ears). They are a "classic" product, made by Koss since more than 20 years, and now made in China but with the same very good quality standars. They are well situated for jazz and pop music, but in classic and acoustic music they sound very well too... INCREDIBLE FOR THE MONEY!!
As I said, I have very good headphones (senn 600 and 650, AKG 240, 270, 271, 500, 701, Grados...etc.) but I must confess that I spent most of time listening music with the Portapro...that's life.
