Canada Computers: Koss Porta Pro On-Ear Headphones

This deal has expired!

Over in the forums, mrsamsa spotted a pretty decent deal on a well-received, portable headset you might want to look into. Right now, Canada Computers has the Koss Porta Pro Headphones on sale for $39.99. Despite the headphones' aesthetics, it received over a thousand reviews and scored a high average rating (4.5 out of 5) at Amazon.com with most praising the sound quality and the comfortable fit.

If you're interested, the headphones are on sale online and in stores until May 17 but we recommend you act sooner rather than later as we've seen deals like this end early due to limited supplies. Standard shipping starts at $7.99 (may vary by location). If you want to avoid shipping costs, you may pick up these headphones in store at no extra charge. These headphones come with a lifetime limited warranty. To learn more, visit CanadaComputers.com.

- Those may be the ugliest headphones I've ever seen.
- amputato
- they are so ugly...but for years now, whenever i search for quality headphones at a good price, i always get pointed to these. and i always find a different pair, due to the uglyness. but people swear by them
- mrsamsa
- the KSC75s are apparently a good option too: http://www.koss.com/en/products/head...lip_Headphones. People say they have less bass, but some like it that way. I have a pair on order from expansys, but I think http://hotmp3gear.com/ has them locally in Burlington.

  ppl swear by them 'cause of nostalgia and reputation
  
  when they came out they were revolutionary 'cause at the time they didn't know how to make closed headphones, so they really upped the bass
  
  this way you can travel with them and the bass wouldn't be drown out as bad
  
  nowadays we have way better closed headphones for travel
  
  i guess they have pretty loud drivers, but they're way overhyped

- I hate any headphones because none of them is comfortable after wearing them for a long time.
  But I have to say, Koss PortaPros is the lest uncomfortable headphone I have ever used.
- sgmtl
- Really good sound coming out of these headphones.
  
  Well worth it. And best of all, LIFETIME NO FAULT WARRANTY.
  
  I've gone through maybe 10 of them ( this is not a knock against Koss' build quality, I'm just super clumsy ) and they've replaced them every single time.
  
  I even bought a 2nd pair to tide me over during the warranty shipping process.
  
  A++ would buy again (but don't have to!)
  
  But think about it, products like these that have this kind of sick longevity stick around for a reason.
- sleepyguy
- It's a good cheap option... I have 2 myself when i got them for $25 years back... also go both replaced with the lifetime warranty.
  
  The KSC75 are a good option but I prefer the headband... the parts-express ones for $2 are good replacement. Light cheap and sounds decent imho... a rfd special... lol.

- Every time i want to have them repair, i pay 15 bucks and wait 3 weeks. Own them since 10 year, sound great, but i don't know if the lifetime warranty is still included...
- PureSolidness
- If you want great sound at a good price get these and laugh at the posers around you wearing Monster Beats
- rocque
- Can anyone comment on how much sounds leaks from them? Considering them for a workplace setting...

  We've got 3 pairs in the family. 20yr old and 15yr old swear by them. 15yr old went on a snowboard trip with school and was getting teased about the look. She told them to try them and the boy with "Beats" was getting the hard time after that.
  
  20yr had the same experience in High School, put them on friends head and shut them up.
  
  Warranty - pay shipping both ways approx $15. Last time I did't include the bill...no problem.

- Price Match with Staples who selling at $59. They started carrying them about about 6 weeks ago.

- Man I love the sound sig and quality coming out of these. I might pick up a second pair :P
- chrominance
- Great sound. Relatively cheap. LIFETIME WARRANTY.
  
  I've bought Sennheiser PX100s, iGrados, even closed-ear headphones with replaceable cords where the CUP snapped off. iGrados have a FOUR-MONTH warranty, and PX100s are one year. Both their cords will break on you at some point, guaranteed.
  
  I'll never buy anything but PortaPros again, and I've just ordered a second one to use when my first one is in for warranty repair. Thanks OP!

- I've read a lot about how good these are in the bang for the buck category but holy crap are they ugly

  They are pretty comfy for the money.
  
  If you want very comfortable full-size headphones you will be able to find them but they will be more money...starting near the $200+ mark, depending on the size and shape of your head. Look for comfort starting with Beyer Dynamic DT 250/DT 770/DT 880/DT 990, the Denon AH-D2000 and the Audio Technica ath-ad700 and ath-ad900.
- mrsamsa
- I had PX100s at one point too, but I returned them as they were never quite comfortable. Portapros are on my list, but I ordered KSC75s 2 days ago.

  They're completely 'open' headphones, so the person in the next cubicle will be able to hear that you're listening to Justin Bieber.
  
  I have a pair of KSC75s and love them! I think they sound as good as my Grado SR60s.

  They leak for sure, not the worst i've seen, but far from the best. Not ideal for workplace.

  Lol so do you find these headphones beautiful then?

- I have both the Koss Portapros as well as the KSC75. For electronic music, the portapros are better, but overall I prefer the KSC75. I have the Sennheiser HD558, HD25-1, and I still use these. Very light and comfy.
  
  The KSC 75 can be had for $18 shipped new from the USA on ebay. I HIGHLY recommended getting a pair. Very good for use in quiet areas (as these are open,not so great for the plane).
  
  edit: yes, the looks may not be for everyone, but I know some people who really dig the retro look. In fact, there are other companies (crappy ones) that have copied the portapro design for their headphones.

  I had noticed them recently at my staples too... Price matched at Staples in Qc city (blvd. Laurier), no problem. Thx OP!
  This is my second pair as well. Getting as backup for when I send my current ones for warranty. The sound is great and they are comfortable.
