Excellent

8.3

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 8.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Justin Yu
Review date: 4/22/08
Release date: 1/1/84

The good: The Koss PortaPro Headphones combine a functional design with excellent 3D sound and a low price tag.

The bad: Hair gets caught in the collapsible band; some people will dislike the '80s aesthetic.

The bottom line: Koss hit a home run with the PortaPros. Love or hate the design, there's no denying the sound quality here: they're the ideal companion for mobile audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts.
