Review on Massdrop x Koss Porta Pro X On-Ear Headphones: 🎧 Noise-Cancelling Mic, Voice Assistant, Track Skip | Collapsible Midnight Blue by Dimitar Kostakev ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

With pricing being so close, it's clear that the PX-100 is a poor choice. If you value an emotional listening experience, however, these headphones outperform all others in their price range. The AKG k-24, and so on. It's a decent step up in quality from the obscene tinnitus that plagues most budget options.

Pros
  • The music is stunning. Overall, the look is really solid. The cost is perfectly reasonable.
Cons
  • In contrast to the PX-100, Senh PX-100 does not meet the standards set by its sole serious competitor. - The audio is not yet ideal; it is lovely, but not suitable for everyone. 60 Ohm impedance and low sensitivity mean this product is noticeably quieter than the competition. - Depending on the owner's preferences, the folding mechanism's design may or may not be functional. It can be rolled up into a ball, relatively speaking. - Poor construction; the ear cushions wear out soon, the hinge that connects the ear to the headband breaks, and the plastic sleeves that allow the halves to move and face each other wear out quickly. Before trying the PX-100, I went through all of this, even getting them fixed and reconditioned. The same muffs that break apart, which is a problem for those like me who have huge heads and lopsided ears, also exert pressure on the top of the head, which is uncomfortable after a while. However, when folded, the half-headband's hook snags on the ear, making it practically a novelty. Last but not least, there is no soundproofing, just like with real ears.
