Well, i finally broke my old portapros. Im looking to replace them for about $20 USD but i need something more durable since i want to wear them at work. Any suggestions would be great
Portapros.
just snap your portapro in pieces, wrap it in bubble wrap and mail it back to koss along with a $9 check.
You'll only pay $2.50 in postage and get a brand new set of portapros.

Not durrable enough. It took me about two weeks of wearing these to work before they got fucked

>Well, i finally broke my old portapros.
That's great.
Mine broke in a week because the connector is a piece of shit.
>>54371587
What's the appeal of these plasticky 80s looking things again?
>>54371772
You answered your own question.
Also, because they're loud.
And normies love loud.
I wear my ATH-M50x outdoors.
In a sea of Portapros and Beats.
Wake me up inside.

It looks like something a fedora would wear. Normies like this shit?
>>54371906
Yes because they're small, stylish and once again, loud.

I'm not a normie so I dunno, but that's apparently one of the reasons.

They're not that loud, just open-back.
They're cheap, and for the price they have a nice sound

They have a lifetime warranty, what seems to be the problem?
>>54371772
Cheap as balls and sound good for the price. I got mine for 10$. I normally use my HD25s though.
Reminder that IEMs have better sound quality, noise isolation and are more socially acceptable in public than on-ears.
>>54372756
Recommend me a good affordable pair.
I'm using old shitty Sony earbuds..
>Sennheiser PX 100-II will be great for you...
>>54371772
None. People who have no clue what the fuck they are talking about think those are good budget headphones. Which was true before the era of chink/crowdfunded audio gear came around.
It's a great for running though.

>running with on ear foam earpads
>sweat soaking in, will absolutely REEK after a week
>incredibly short cable
are you fucking kidding me? Have you ever even exercised you retard?
>>54371587
Just send them off to get fixed... for free.
>>54371772
Find a pair of head phones for the same price that sound as good as portapros. Oh and they come with a life time warranty so if/when something goes wrong you just get them fixed.
>>54371890
What do you mean loud? Doesn't your PMP have volume control?
>ATH-M50x
Comparing a larger, closed, set of headphones to a portable, open back set.
>>54372756
Yer but also cost a lot more than PPs.
>>54373995
Name a set of headphones for the same price that sounds as good.
>>54374700
used shp9500 for $40 on CL
>>54374714
>used
>no life time warranty
Nice try.
>>54374734
>lifetime warranty on a discontinued product
nice b8
>>54374750
Never had to use the warranty, mine have been going just swell for 5 years now. Love them. PPs for wondering around quite places. Grados for sitting and listening. Nobels C3s for being out and about. Life is good.
>>54371587
you can't top that sound for that money
>>54375088
porta pros are garbage without eq http://en.goldenears.net/9862
>>54375491
Heh, they cost <£30. No one is saying they are the best headphones in the world. But they sound good and are cheap. You don't an asortment of graphs.
Replace the cord on these with one from a cheap pair of earbuds you probably have lying around, then get some bluetooth ones for work since wires a shit. I hear bluedio makes some good ones for the price.
