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

For several years, I relied on a Philips SHS5200. When we first met, they were asking $300-$400. Then it went up to $1000 - $1200. I bought four pairs of these headphones since they were inexpensive enough that I didn't feel bad about breaking them (on two pairs, I simply yanked out the wire from my ear by yanking it extra hard a number of times and didn't even consider repairing it). But regrettably, they are no longer manufactured, and I am seeking ears with a comparable layout: open, very light, and curved. Without even getting into the sound (which bothered me because of the lack of soundproofing in my ears; I grew up on the edges of a working class neighborhood and can attest that only well soundproofed headphones are necessary for jogging). Having it not whistle and fart is all I ask for; what I care about most is hearing the music itself, not the "quality" of the recording. The audio quality has also been praised. But it's a huge hassle to put on and take off. Philips developed all the necessary components for headphones years ago, but they were eventually taken off the market. Do identical, faceless copies of each other fetch higher prices than a $1,000, very efficient model? Should I invest in braids? I would answer "no" if the SHS5200 were on sale. Unfortunately, they seem to be absent at the present time. I don't see why not. The surviving models of this format's ears can be counted on one hand, and they all cost around the same. Unfortunately, there seems to be a limited market for open, lightweight headphones in the modern era. I'll give an older model of Fisher Audio a shot, but it looks like they shared a beard in the wiring.
