In 1984, Koss created the first Porta Pro headphones. Almost 40 years later, they are still available and are still some of the best headphones available.
These 80's headphones are STILL good!
The Porta Pros look a lot like the cheap, wired, foam-padded headphones that came with early Walkmans and personal stereos in the 1980s, but they're so much more than that. Or rather, they're nothing more than that, just better than the competition.
Today, Porta Pros are available all over the world and come in a variety of colors. There’s even a Bluetooth version if you can’t stand the wires.
"I'm on my second purchase of Porta Pros," software marketing director Caroline Lee told Lifewire via email. "Small, lightweight, and comfortable to wear. They're great for running or the gym. Plug the headphones in and you forget you're wearing them. They look great, very retro and cool."
