What's that? 24 years? Yes, these Koss PortaPro stereo headphones first hit the shelves in back in 1984.

And today they are exactly the same, inside and out.

Back then you'd be plugging them into your Hi-Fi, and today you can plug them into your iPod and still get the same great sound.

Yes, that's the reason they are still around, unchanged, after so many years. The sound is wonderful, whatever the music you play and however loud you play it.

It's not their slightly weird design that keep them near the top of every audiophile's top 10 headphones list – it's the sound.

A typical user review generally reads something like, "Drop dead ugly, incredibly comfortable and great sound."

I guess you either like the design or hate it. But there's something to be said for having headphones that look a little different from today's look-alike audio headphones.

One other neat thing is that they are guaranteed for life. If they break during normal use, Koss will send you a replacement.

The headphones are also foldable and come with a case and 1/8" and 1/4" stereo plugs for home audio and for your iPod or other mp3 player.
