The Koss Porta Pros have been beloved since they launched in 1984. Their distinctive design and exceptional sound quality at a reasonable price have kept enthusiasts engaged through various updates in the series. The latest version, the Porta Pro Wireless, brings a significant design update that fans will appreciate.
Wireless Features and Battery Life
A standout feature of the Porta Pro Wireless is its use of Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless connection. While it may not be the newest Bluetooth version, the energy efficiency of Bluetooth 5.2 enhances battery performance, allowing for over 20 hours of playtime. Users can also manage calls and adjust volume thanks to an integrated microphone and audio controls. Charging is done via USB-C, and if the battery runs low, the USB-C port supports analog audio pass-through with the provided USB-C to 3.5 mm cable.
Innovative Design Elements
One of the most noteworthy design changes is the introduction of the dual steel headband. This new dual-band design allows audio to be transmitted between the two drivers, creating a truly wireless experience. Fans will be pleased to know that the Porta Pro Wireless retains the 60-ohm drivers that were a hallmark of the original Porta Pros. These drivers are celebrated for delivering powerful bass, clear highs, and excellent midrange frequencies ranging from 15 to 25,000 Hz.
Pricing and Availability
The Porta Pro Wireless is available for $99 on Amazon, and interested buyers can also check the Koss website for additional promotional offers.
