Incredible sound quality from headphones for such an affordable price (about 2,000 rubles) - that's what the owners of Koss Sporta Pro note in the first place. Moreover, this device can be comfortably placed on the head by putting the headband not only on the crown, but also by moving it to the back of the head. Connect headphones with different devices, and only short-lived thin wires and fragile plastic make the owners uncomfortable.

Design. Ergonomics of the arc and headphones
The earphones are sold in a special package with a cardboard tab and a plastic front box. The complete set with the device comes with a special watertight case with straps.
Despite its small size, the case perfectly holds the headphones and protects them from damage. The headphones fold compactly, so that they do not accidentally unfold, should be fastened to the bottom of the cups with a special loop.
The headband is made of a thin strip of metal with a plastic divider in the middle. This is done so that you can extend the headband to its maximum length. And really, there are no people who would not fit the headphones in size, the headband sits comfortably on both large and small heads. True, girls complain that the delimiter "bites" long hair when you take the headphones off.
The trick of the device is the possibility of positioning the headband not only at the top of the head, but also at the back of the head. Quite relevant for athletes training for a bike race or doing bench presses. You don't even need to remove the headphones from your head to adjust, you can simply tilt the arc back in the ear cushion area until it clicks into place.
The speakers are covered by foam cushions. They are the first to start cracking and crumbling, as the foam is only covered on the back side. Moreover, it is attached to the cups on the brackets, in the places of attachment there are often tears. The foam on the temple temples is stronger, it is simply glued to the plastic and lasts longer.
But users note the comfort of the headphones and the wearing comfort provided by the foam ear cushions. Even during exercise, your ears don't get sweaty. You don't get tiredness in your ears or a feeling of tightness when using them for a long time.
The foam padding gently adheres to the earshell and also provides an "openness" to the earphone that allows you to hear the car coming behind you or the person walking by.
Wires go to each earphone, which is of course a plus - you don't have to worry about the thin cord breaking when folding the headphones. There is a connection point that turns the single wires into a single rubber double wire.
Which incredibly hardens in the cold, becomes hard, from twisting hardens in the folded state. And gradually loses its functions. The flexibility of the wire is not enough that in a year it cracks in the most vulnerable place - near the plug.
But the set has an adapter from a standard 3.5 mm jack to a port of 6.5 mm. Therefore, the headphones can be used when working on professional music equipment.
Affordable functionality
The headphones work with almost any device that has a 3.5 mm or 6.5 mm audio input jack.
Users tell us they have listened to music, watched movies or enjoyed audiobooks on:
- phones;
- tablets;
- laptops;
- computers;
- players;
- TVs.
To connect the headphones, you do not need to install any application on the transmitting device. Users note the versatility of Koss Sporta Pro, but still these headphones are best suited for sports.
They do not have the ability to adjust the sound, and for some people this will be a disadvantage. But most owners are happy with such simplicity: set the desired volume level on the player and you can no longer be distracted by the headphones, just focus on the training.
Speaker performance
Feedback from owners about the sound quality in the headphones is impressive:
- "The sound is awesome, just for the sake of the sound, you should take it! It is desirable to warm up the headphones - a couple of times to drive on professional equipment or use an amplifier. Then the bass, details and melodies will be more vivid.
- "The middle part is beautiful, deep, chic, saturated bass. The upper frequencies are a bit squeezed, but not excessive. The sound is many times better than Sony's plugs, only the sound isolation is worse."
- "juicy bass. Excellent detailing of melodies, vocals are clear. For heavy music, rock, dub-step - the best!"
- "The sound is soft, the bass is not pressing on the eardrums. They don't distort tunes, you can even hear instruments that you don't notice with other headphones."
Indeed, due to the molded cup on the back side and powerful speakers, the quality of sound reproduction reaches a high level. Even the lack of active noise isolation does not prevent music lovers from enjoying their favorite songs, especially considering that the headphones are usually used in quiet gyms.
Conclusions
Comfortable lightweight Koss Sporta Pro will remain in demand by consumers for a long time to come. The main reason, of course, is the excellent sound, which satisfies audiophiles and audiophiles. A few more advantages are added by the thin adjustable headband and temporal foam cushions that make the headphones fit especially comfortably on your head.
And even the fragility and brittleness of the plastic, the poor flexibility of the wire will not be an obstacle for users in choosing good headphones. After all, the cost of the device is not so high that in a couple of years do not buy a new Koss Sporta Pro.
