Look at the pictures, there are two lumps on the cord. One is the battery, one is the mic/buttons. They literally just soldered a bluetooth module onto regular PortaPros.

I'm not complaining though, these look fucking great. If they changed them a bunch I wouldn't be interested. Remember SportaPros? Yeah, neither does anybody else.

Koss SportaPro have treated me well for the last year with daily use. They look cheap but the quality is good. Decent sound, don't slip or move around, durable, lets enough outside sound in. Never had any issues with rain or sweat.

The only way for a headphone to wrap around the neck is for some piece of the headband to be resting behind the back of your ear. If by "studio headphone" you mean an over-ear headphone, then I can't imagine how a piece of the headband could rest behind the back of the ear while having ear cups that surround the ear.

Here is the best sounding, and best priced, headphone with a headband that goes behind the head. It is on-ear, because it's physically impossible to have an over-ear headphone with a band that goes behind the head.

Here's a picture of what they look like with the headband adjusted behind the neck.

I have these and they sound really nice: http://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Portable-Stereophone-Headphones/dp/B0006B486K/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1417476998&sr=1-1&keywords=koss+ksc75

For running I can only give you some advice. Don't get overears and don't get a fully isolating headphone. I don't where you run but, not hearing an approaching bicycle, or God forbid a car, can result in accidents. Especially with the sheer amount of bikes where I studied, getting different headphones might be better.

So here is my suggestion: Koss Porta PRO

There also is the Sporta PRO, with a 90° rotatable headband.

They are very good sounding, highly portable earpad cans, that have been around since the 80's. They have an open back build, which means you can hear your surrounding a little bit and especially your breathing.

Also weight is very important when you chose a headphone for running, and the Koss' are a whopping 83gr and additionaly have adjustable clampforce. This means you can actually decide how strong they press against your head.

You may think they look cheap and outdated, but Koss has a lifetime exchange warranty on their headphones and the Porta Pro's are rocking incredible 80's swag.

Sorry! Should have specified

Sure you don't want the sportapros instead? The portapros tear your hair out by design, and it looks like the sportapros aren't much better https://www.amazon.com/Koss-155475-SportaPro-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B00001P505

The SportaPros are similar, great for running too. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00001P505/

I would love a mount for something like these that way the sides can still move cv1 style.

Budget: $50-$150

Source: PC (No SoundCard), HTC One M8, iPod Touch 5th Gen, Audio Technica AT-LP120-USB (turntable, analog and digital out)

Isolation: Not needed

Public Use: Not typically.

Preferred Type: On-Ear

Preferred Tonal Balance: Clear mids and tenors with a large sound stage. I'm not a professional and have no idea how to explain.

Past Headphones:

  • Monoprice Over-Ear (These hurt after more than 20 minutes and they make me ears feel like they're burning, which is why I'm now wary of over ear, it may just be a bad experience)

  • Koss SportaPro

  • Panasonic RPTCM125A Buds

  • Brainwavz Delta Buds

    Preferred Music: Indie, Folk, Electronic, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Hip Hop

    Other uses to keep in mind: Gaming (Huge PC Gamer), Binaural Listening

    What I want to improve: I've been using Koss Sportapros for the last year after the Monoprice headphones I bought were feeling pretty mediocre, but I'm looking for a sound upgrade, something that I can better or actually enjoy the quality of my record player from/that makes it worthwhile to rip things in FLAC.

    Everything I read was pointing me to these but I'm not sure if I want to try over ear headphones again since I'm going to be wearing them 2 or 3 hours at a time usually.

    Another user suggested these as they are on ear but a lot of the reviews I was reading were saying the voices are mids are kind of attenuated and the quality isn't that great, for $85 it just seems like I'd be better off eating the $10 and the bit of discomfort and going with the Sony's but I was hoping if I upped my budget a bit I might be able to find something better in an on-ear option.

    Thanks in advance!

I have several, some of which are considerably more... considerable than this, but I use Koss SportaPro headphones while running. They transform from overhead to behind-the-ears so you can move them around if you're getting too bouncy. They're also very light, and sound really good for the price point. What's more, they're cheap enough that if they fall and get destroyed, who cares.

I have some ear-covering noise-cancelling seinhausers, but hell if I'm using those while running... or walking the dog... or kayaking...

u/kare_kano · 1 pointr/headphones

Have a look at Koss PortaPro and Koss SportaPro. They happen to be very good headphones in addition to the style.

u/rynoweiss · 1 pointr/headphones

You should buy the Koss Sportapro then. They use the same titanium driver as the KSC75, as opposed to the Portapro's paper driver. FYI there's an ear-clip version of the Portapro driver as well, the KSC-35.
