In case anyone is looking for a good set of portable headphones, Best Buy Oakville (Dundas &403) Has them on Clearance for $49.99
I paid $60 for mine downtown ,these headphones have excellent sound quality.
BB Mississauga does not carry this model so it might only be instock at the Oakville store.

They are very nice for the price. My pick for best bang for the buck for home headphone (portapro/sportapro for portable) is the Sennheiser HD497. Awesome sounding, cost about $100 Canadian, and easy to drive. Downside is can be hard to find in Canada......

I think Golden Electronics might have them for $50 too. Golden is across the road from the Eaton's Centre in TO, they are a pretty good outfit for a small stereo store...

Don't mean to take away from the original deal of course, just thought I would mention it.

I thought I was seeing things.

Anyways, Koss Portapros are great cans. As for GTA ... can't help you there.

That's a pretty good deal...ive never seen it in any best buys/futureshops near me though...i guess it's exclusive to that best buy?

Just a reminder to you all, this thread is 2+ years old, and best buy and futureshop no longer sell PortaPros.

I should have mentioned previously that Koss has really scaled back their product availability. If you go to the website you'll find that you can only seem to buy their 'phones through the site. Nowhere can you find a "resellers" link.

I have some old portapros/sportapros that I should send it for replacement before I forget some more and find out that Koss is out of business.
