" ... The sound was a surprise ... "
" ... Unbelievable sound for price. ... "
" ... I didn’t need them to be good or great in terms of sound or noise canceling. ... "
" ... These sound better than some $80 open back headphones I own. ... "
" ... They had great sound. ... "
" ... I'm a music lover, and I want great sound, but I have a life and I'd rather buy good sound than spend my time rewiring headsets. ... The sound is really excellent: highs, lows and mid-range. ... I'm near maximum volume settings on some devices. ... I'd like more leeway for times when I want to crank the sound. ... I rated them a three (in the middle--neither good nor bad) for noise cancelling as they are NOT designed to be noise cancelling. ... Overall they are nice, the sound quality is really great, and if they were louder I'd have given them five stars instead of four. ... "
" ... These have a very quiet sub bass, listening to “doin it right” by daft punk, that third low bass hit is *almost inaudible in the sub bass, if i eq it I can get that low note to have some more color however they have an amazing 3d sound effect as well as a crystal clear upper bass, mids, and highs and the instruments have really good separation. ... "
" ... I'm easily able to compare the quality of music playback from them to some of my AKG and Sennheiser reference headphones around the $100 mark. ... They will leak sound, given the open back design, but if you can find time to listen to these by yourself, they are absolutely unmatched by any headphones, earphones, headset at this price point. ...

" ... Insanely comfortable, they actually look quite nice (from pictures I thought they would look dorky), and THE SOUND for the price is unreal. ... "
" ... The earclip concept is a bit unusual, but I find these comfortable, with quality sound. ... "
" ... I like porta pros for their sound and bass, but I do not find them comfortable and convenient to wear. ... For my ears the comfort is much greater than any connected on-ear headphones I tried. ... "
" ... I have incredibly sensitive ear canals, and tinnitus in one ear, so I have to be careful about the headsets I use. ... These earpieces fits well, the sound is good, I really like them. ... Let me stress that I have headphones that I have owned for 20 years now, and the plastic is still supple and, importantly, usable! ... "
" ... They're comfortable and you forget you're wearing them. ... "
" ... Comfort wise, I give these headphones a 6/10 as you do start feeling some ear fatigue with the ear clips around the 5 hour mark(release the fatigue by rotating the headphones or taking them off for a min or 2) even though you wouldn't notice you had them on for the first 3-4 hours since they are just that lightweight. ... Overall these headphones are a must buy for anyone that are getting into open-back headphones or just want something on the side. ... "
" ... If you want something that sounds amazing for the price, fits comfortably yet securely, and doesn't cost so much you'd be worrying about just tossing it in a bag or pocket on the way out the door, these are just the ticket. ... Replacement ear cushions are on here too for cheap, so that's another bonus as well. ... "
" ... I bought this external pair of earphones because I did not like or want earbuds, or big over-the-head headphones. ... Once you figure how to do that (its easy), the sound is excellent, they are comfortable and so far, work just fine. ... "

" ... Finally, a head phone that stays on and does not fall off while running. ... "
" ... This is my second pair of these headphones. ... "
" ... But they're great earphones all around otherwise. ... "
" ... They easily outclass most headphones over $100 ... "
" ... great headphones for cheap! ... "
" ... And the kids are still safe. ... "
" ... Handy headphones for work. ... "
" ... The second best pair of headphones I have ever owned. ... The best were $300 IEMs and these still almost gave it a run. ... "

" ... They sound absolutely amazing for their price. ... "
" ... I'd really recommend paying extra for the Porta Pro. ... "

" ... I was looking for easy, comfort-fit headphones. ... "
" ... I highly recommend them, provided you rotate them to put on rather than try to snap them on like some other on-ear phones. ... "
" ... These earpieces fits well, the sound is good, I really like them. ... "
" ... I really like how the headphones hang on my ear and place the sound directly into my ear. ... "
" ... These fit me great, super comfortable and secure—but I’ve noticed in reviews for other “clip-ons” that comfort probably will depend on each individual’s ear size/shape. ... "
" ... If you want something that sounds amazing for the price, fits comfortably yet securely, and doesn't cost so much you'd be worrying about just tossing it in a bag or pocket on the way out the door, these are just the ticket. ... "
" ... You have to bend the hell out of the clip but the nice thing is that it's perfectly possible and easy, it stays too. ... "
" ... I love these headphones, the ear clips make them extremely light on your head. ... "

" ... The plastic seems incredibly cheap and is just waiting to crack. ... "
" ... The point where the wires attach to the headphones should be reinforced, but the wire just goes into the plastic housing with no support. ... "
" ... They broke after 2 months ... "
" ... They break apart very easily. ... I ordered two pairs and both break within a week ... "
" ... Unfortunately, they broke. ... "
" ... They worked fine until they broke and couldn't be worn any more. ... A small metal colored piece of plastic that holds the assembly together broke after about a month. ... "
" ... One of the earpieces has already snapped off. ... "
" ... In addition, I hadn't had them for a couple months when the padding fell off of them. ... "

" ... Mine worked until 3 days AFTER the 30 day window. ... "
" ... Had for less than a year, just found out today that the right headphone stopped working sometime in the past month. ... "
" ... After just a few weeks, 90% of that time just sitting on a desk, they've already broken. ... "
" ... period of time, usually within a few weeks, it gets progressively worse until audio disappears completely ... "
" ... The second pair is just past the 30 days since purchasing and I can tell they're going to stop working soon. ... "
" ... Have had them for 2 months. ... Left side died. ... "
" ... When they died, I got a new pair, but those only lasted about 3 times of using them. ... I thought that might be a fluke, so I got a 3rd pair and the speaker on them stopped working after 3 or 4 times using them. ... Sadly, these are junk. ... "
" ... Lasted for 5 months before they quit working. ... "

" ... BUT what I cannot stand is that the plastic coating of the wiring gets hard and cracks after only a few months, and breaks the copper wiring, and then the entire thing is useless. ... "
" ... the wire gave out after 4 months so i bought another pair - which then broke in 2 months. ... "
" ... One side started cutting out and now does not play audio, I assume a wire loosened inside. ... "
" ... They kept falling off my ears and the cord was annoying. ... "
" ... The wiring is just not dependable. ... "
" ... Wires are annoying and despite the good reviews, I’d disagree of the sound quality. ... "
" ... Also, the cord came apart from the noise control section and the wires began to show, which led to them shocking me if I plugged them in while I was wearing them. ... "
" ... The point where the wires attach to the headphones should be reinforced, but the wire just goes into the plastic housing with no support. ... At first I could wiggle the wire and get a connection, but that stopped after a short time. ... "

" ... Once ordering them they arrive within any% via a blimp with the driver usually asking you how you're doing, and well as I was doing as good as can be expected, but the news I saw this morning was not good. ... "
" ... I bought a pair of KSC35s, and wanted to replace the largely uncomfortable clips those came with, while using the same slightly superior drivers that the other model has - but the KSC75 is still more than worth the pricetag. ... "
" ... I ended up clicking the PortaPro drivers onto the clips and they sound so much better. ... "
" ... The Portapros use the same drivers, but are far sturdier. ... "
" ... I bought these for the drivers. ... I didn’t buy these for the build quality, and neither should you- you will not find better sounding drivers for this price. ... "

" ... They’re comfy and kinda cool looking. ... "
" ... Super textured low end that growls and isn't afraid to hit with a bit of power behind it. ... "
" ... Yeah, they look like ugly ducklings but they are real beauties in performance. ... "

" ... These clip-on-earphones definitely are not noise canceling, which I like such that if someone wants to talk to me, or the phone rings, i hear them and I can switch the headphones off to respond. ... "
" ... These headphones are not noise canceling which is fine by me, I can hear someone talking to me when I am needed. ... "
