In my opinion Koss Porta Pro are very good and comfortable headphones. There are no better at this price. I've been using them for two years.

[@pioroon13]

My favourite combo is KSC75 on PortaPro headband. This headband gives a bit more bass, making KSC75 a full range of sound without taking out anything out of high frequency details. IMO it makes PortaPro also more appealing, reducing mudiness in bass region. If you have both, just try this, it's easy to unhook the drivers.

[@TimpTim]

Yup!

[@retrofizz727]

Oh it's compatible? You can buy it separately?

[@MechFrankaTLieu]

had all of them, they all benefit from ear-pad rolling to find that combo that work for one's own need , one trick one can use is to use double pad or use a cover over the foam to compress them tight and function better in smoothing out the edges

[@TimpTim]

The ksc 75 on a parts express headband with Yaxi pads! That extra bit of pressure improves the bass just enough and it's titanium coated driver gives it that extra clarity and instrument separation and the most even FR. Given some burn in time it mellows a bit. Definitely a preference and music library thing, but my favorite of these and better than the kph 40i too. With their great soundstage and imaging as well I think these are the best deal in audio. I use mine at some point everyday even though I have "better" more expensive gear, lol.

[@Skeeb23]

And that...is what it's all about!

[@KossStereophones]

Love it!

[@Schmidteren]

You can interchange the drivers onto whatever headband/earhooks you'd like. :)

[@Skeeb23]

I'm going to order one here soon and try it for sure!

[@starkid9736]

i own sundara, ndh 20, hd660s, AKG 701 amped with zen DAC all eq'd porta pro are sooooo good cant go without them the body off bass is bam i love dubtechno "atheus" style to the bone they sound best in wintertimes over my wool hat i gues its like with yaksis✌

[@TylersEclectic]

Purple Yaxi!!! This is the way!

[@slimconvict]

what about koss KTXpro1 review something about it. I'm going to buy.

[@reflection1119]

Give the kph40 headband a bend in the middle. Makes a big difference to the comfort to lift pressure off the centre hotspot

[@Skeeb23]

Nice, I'll give that a go!

[@joshcarpenter400]

Yah, also makes the mid bass a tiny bit less pronounced.

[@Djimbe]

KTXPro-1 beats them all though!

[@itellsri]

Ryan, your reviews are correct . What abt Koss kph30i and where do they fit ?

[@Skeeb23]

I feel the 30i falls somewhere between the KPH40 and KSC75 tbh. I need to listen a bit more to it, but I enjoyed the listen I had with it so far.

[@itellsri]

Thanks Ryan.

[@itellsri]

@@Skeeb23 Hi Ryan , I bought all 4 Koss headphones including the kph30i clear model. Your reviews nailed it. If I was to arrange all 5 with highest bass to lowest , here is my report. Portapro, kph40, kph30i , kph30i clear, and ksc75. The kph30i clear version sounded a bit bright as the pads have been removed behind the drivers.Also the normal kph30i sounded less muddy when paired with a Grado pads. But the kph30i clear versions when modded with Grado pads sounded too bright and did not like it. I am new to this magical world of sounds and like the ride. By the way have you tried Koss ktxpro1 . They are also titanium coated like 75s and may sound bright. I need 2 suggestions from you. 1. Any other good head phone suggestions like Koss within $100 range budget. 2 . Good DAC suggestion for Koss. I tried Fiio btr5 but did not like blue tooth version. Only USB mode sounds good. I prefer wired over Bluetooth. Appreciate any input.

[@bassclef251]

Are those the Yaxi PortaPro pads you have on the KPH40?

[@Skeeb23]

Yes the Porta Pro pads for the KPH40 just fine.

[@Hijynx87]

That’s what I use

[@cjcaton19]

Thanks for mentioning gaming

[@augustriandyrizkymaris2894]

does the kph40 have a mic??

[@Skeeb23]

The standard version does not, however you can get a version with a USB plug that does include a mic. Or because it does have an interconnect system, I'm sure you could buy that in line mic cable separately too.

[@augustriandyrizkymaris2894]

@@Skeeb23 thank you soo much bro, but will it be compatible if i use 3rd party cable for the 2.5mm to 3.5/usb c ??
