For decades, the venerable Koss Porta Pro has been a solid choice for anyone wanting a lightweight, foldable pair of earphones that have good sound quality, all without having to break the bank. But with the trend of phones and devices not having headphone jacks anymore, it’s been harder to justify bringing a pair of headphones around everyday. That’s why Koss has updated the design to be truly wireless. Now sporting Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and USB-C charging for its 20+ hours(!) of battery life, the new Koss Porta Pro Wireless lets you ditch the cable and use this classic design on modern devices today. We love the extremely light weight and retro-futuristic design, and that it comes with latency-free audio pass-through by way of an included USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter so you can still use this new Koss Porta Pro with classic CD players and other audio equipment. An included hard shall carrying case also makes it a convenient part of your EDC. Just remember that the open-ear design of this headset is retained, so it won’t block out much sound and everyone can hear what you are playing in a quiet room.
While the latest Porta Pros don’t come with all the conveniences you’d expect from a modern pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones, like higher-resolution audio codecs and multi-point connectivity, what you do get instead is a unique design and reliable sound that has endured for 40 years since the Porta Pros first released in 1984.
