Testimonials
Average Buyer Rating:  out of 5 stars

Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Fantastic performance for the price ...
As most who are considering a purchase of these headphones know, Koss has sold this model unchanged for over 20 years. The reason for this is simple - you don't mess with success. While for some the appearance may be controversial, there is an undeniable steampunk-retro appeal to the angular, stainless-steel industrial styling.

Functionally, the Koss Porta-Pro shines. The earpads can be adjusted to be as light or as tight as you prefer. The sound quality and frequency response belies the current notion that one must have in-ear buds to really enjoy crisp highs and strong bass. You will spend 100.00 or more to get better sound, period.

Where these headphones really come in handy, is environments that might have distracting background noise, but do not allow for total isolation. I like to be able to work in my office without distraction of conversations down the hall, but I do wan to hear the phone ring or my name called by nearby colleagues. The Porta-Pros fit the bill to a tee.

Highly recommended.



Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - Better to sound good than to look good
The headphones are somewhat 'clunky' and they don't look as 'high tech' as some other types, but the sound quality is excellent and they are very comfortable to use. Overall, they are a very good value.



Buyer's feedback: 2 out of 5 stars - * maybe i got a rare bad pair.... ...
....but after about 6 weeks of having these the left side sounds like the speaker is blown. I don't really turn them up too loud so am not sure why this happened but at least i think i can return them to koss with their lifetime guarantee. I do have to include $6.00 for shipping and handling plus pay the shipping to them as well so this is not all good. That's pushing about a third more of what i already paid for these and since it was 6 weeks after i received them it was too late to return them to amazon. The sound of these is pretty good, not quite as fantastic as some reviews would have you believe, a little boomy on the bass if you like that all the better. Anyway, they're decent enough and if mine hadn't blown a speaker on one side i'd probably give them 3 and a half stars anyway....but one star off for making me shell out another almost 10 bucks due to what seems like koss' quality contol. Wish i could recommend these but after this experience i wish i had gone for the sennheisers.



Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - Cool and Comfortable!
I switched from my ipod earphones to this and what a relief! Really light on your ears and you can listen to it for hours. Can't expect more for $35!



Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Good N Cheap ...
After reading a very positive review of these headphones in Computer Shopper Magazine I decided to buy three for use in my workshops and classes.
I like their light weight, compactness, and great sound quality. Over time they may not take the abuse some of my students will subject them to. For now I am very pleased with them.

Stephen Sondheim's Victorian horror thriller Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is generally considered his greatest work, macabre but darkly humorous with a viscerally powerful score that has found a home both on Broadway and in opera houses. George Hearn (who replaced Len Cariou of the original Broadway cast) plays the title character, a wronged man whose lust for revenge drives him to murder (an 18th-century legend who has been traced to a real-life barber), and Angela Lansbury plays his partner in crime, Mrs. Lovett, who finds a practical business use for Todd's victims. This combination of horror and humor is echoed in Sondheim's score: brooding menace ("The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," "My Friend"), achingly beautiful ballads ("Johanna," "Not While I'm Around"), clever puns ("A Little Priest"), coloratura arias ("Green Finch and Linnet Bird"), and intricate choral and ensemble numbers.

Continuing a fortuitous tradition of capturing the Sondheim legacy on video recordings, this performance was filmed before a live audience in Los Angeles during the 1982 national tour. Almost 20 years later, Hearn returned to the role opposite Patti LuPone in an acclaimed concert production. But Sweeney Todd is an especially compelling experience in this 1982 version, complete with the clever staging tricks (e.g., the barber's chair) and as close to the original cast as we're likely to see. --David Horiuchi

A guilty, guilty pleasure, perhaps not one a left-wing feminist should be admitting to in public. Female boomers should recall yearly TV reruns of this Rodgers and Hammerstein production, featuring such delights as "Impossible" and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" It may appear a bit stark to younger viewers, but part of the charm of this 1964 network TV special, a remake of the live 1957 telecast originally built around Julie Andrews, is its utter simplicity. An extremely young Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon (of General Hospital fame) are joined by Ginger Rogers, Walter Pidgeon, and Celeste Holm. Warren is all sweetness and innocence without a hint of saccharine artificiality, while Damon is a clear-eyed romantic. This very handsome love story is a bit of an oddity, but worth owning just for the memorable score. --Rochelle O'Gorman

John Waters made his bid for PG respectability with this enjoyably trashy comedy about the racial integration of a teen dance show on Baltimore television in the early '60s. Waters, as always, makes a virtue of junk culture and the powerful emotional forces it can represent as kids vie to get on the show. Meanwhile, a parade of former stars (Pia Zadora, Debbie Harry, Sonny Bono) and pseudostars (Divine, Ricki Lake) cross the screen, playing freakish characters absorbed by thoughts of fame. (Waters himself turns up as a weirdo psychiatrist.) This transitional film for Waters is rough going at times and not as interesting or funny as his later features Cry-Baby and Serial Mom, but it's worth a look. --Tom Keogh

Martina McBride has long been a champion of music as social consciousness, particularly for abused women ("Independence Day") and children. On Waking Up Laughing, her ninth album and the follow-up to Timeless, her platinum-selling album of country classics, she advances the theme while expanding it. While two songs explore the issue of unwed mothers (particularly the exquisite "Love Land," which closes the album), and another, "Beautiful Again," touches on child sexual abuse, her overall repertoire embraces the wholeness of family, and of standing strong together in the face of adversity and defeat. Musically, McBride has always proved to be an elegant thorn--her song selection is often inspired (and here, she co-wrote three tunes, including the skyscraping single "Anyway"), but she has tended to use her huge, ride-the-wave soprano full-tilt, without employing the subtle shadings that would make her even more emotionally resonant. On Waking Up Laughing she seems to have worked on the problem, yet in her second foray as solo producer, she still tends to gild the lily instrumentally--inflating string bridges between choruses, for example, or loading the opening country-pop track, "If I Had Your Name," with a Southern-rock guitar break, a listen-to-me fiddle showcase, a Celtic guitar intro, and a close that brings to mind George Harrison's sitar in play-it-backward mode. That said, she makes fine use of what sounds like a black female choir on the uplifting "For These Times," and wisely keeps the haunting break-up ballad "Tryin' to Find a Reason" (with Keith Urban's harmony vocals and guitar solo) lean and affecting. As McBride works to refine her pastiche of creativity, commerciality, and social awareness, she slyly takes more chances than one might think, all the while rallying old fans and making new ones. --Alanna Nash

For right-minded buyers of the reissued Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack, the odds of disappointment are about as remote as Miss Piggy's chances with Kermit. If you loved the movie, you will love the loopy mayhem of the Muppet Brass Buskers ("Good King Wenceslas"), the cartoonish malice of the black-hearted misanthropes Marley & Marley ("Marley & Marley"), and the hope-swollen harmonies of Tiny Tim and Family ("Bless Us All"), Muppeted here to hilariously humble effect. If, on the other hand, your interest in this disc has more to do with its inclusion in the way-narrow Christmas-record-for-kids category--if the spirit of the season doesn't extend, for you, to the magic of the Muppets--you may want to keep browsing, as it's a soundtrack first (overture, instrumentals, and all) and a Christmas CD second. That's not to suggest you're stuck with an un-fun disc should it land on your holiday stack without a prior screening, though. Miles Goodman's score sweeps and inspires, and certain tracks--"One More Sleep 'til Christmas" and "Fozziwig's Party"--are future classics. (Note to the right-minded: After a misstep on the original release, Martina McBride's version of "When Love is Gone" is back.) -Tammy La Gorce
