black and gold looks way better than it has any right to look. It sounds very tacky, but looks glossy, slick and surprisingly modern. The beige on the other hand is incredibly retro; it reminds me of my grandfather's car seats, older airplane arm rests, and just screams old technology. the red and blue accents are awesome touches as well. Coupled with the fact that you get a hard case and volume/pause control, 60 bucks is pretty damn sweet. Mine have lasted around 5 and a hald years, and the cup covers have just gotten a little too worn and one of the cups snapped off the headband. they're surprisingly tough!

I'm not crazy about how either actually look, but I would say the beige is my favorite. I have three pairs if the classic version already, don't think I'll be getting this version, but it's a good price. My portapros have lasted for years, sent one to be fixed once, they have been sturdy. a case is recommended. I'm not a heavy user though. They sound very good, though the bass is heavy, (I am not a basshead, tho!) it makes them sound better at lower volumes I think. I usually don't mind the warmer tone of the sound, only occasionally.

I remember having some Radio Shack Titanium Pro 25 headphones in the early 1990s. Made for RS by Koss. They sounded pretty good on my portable CD player with the bass boost feature on the CD player, or so I thought at the time. Lost them somewhere along the way, and graduated to Sennheiser and Audiotechnica headphones. ($150- $500 headphones) For kicks and giggles I tried Koss headphones again,

@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive6 жыл бұрын
Gold plating has uses in HiFi and audio. Gold is a worse conductor than copper and silver. However, it can not corrode. So that's why having that outer layer of gold is good for the audio equipment.
@E82N556 жыл бұрын
I think you mean gold accents, not gold plating. Real gold is very soft so it is often plated over another metal. Doubt these headphones have real gold.

How could the gold and black win over the all-white one? It could’ve been so legendary. It’s cool to know that these headphones have made their way to alternative counter cultures now. They’re an in-demand niche accessory in grunge communities which is how I learned they existed. The beige is amazing. Question, I read the cable is 50/50, how could someone upgrade the cable?
