WHEW, I didn't have to give up Porta Pro to listen to device.
Worried, about cables breaking. And frequent repurchases.
Having used Porta Pro for 20 years, I know there's a delicate cable connection.
The wireless requires user to adjust controls hanging off those cables.
Please consider updating the headphones with stronger cables. I'd be happy to pay more.
This wireless is the only lightweight good sounding on-ear unit on the market. No matter how good the ear bud, they are much more likely to cause ear damage.

The first pair of PortaPro Wireless headphones I received were defective - left phone was dead. Koss' Customer Service did an excellent job of handling the problem. They immediately shipped a replacement pair (although I did have to pay to ship the defective pair back). The new phones arrived and the sound is great! The same super PortaPro sound I remember from years ago with the lightweight feel. My only suggestion to Koss would be to improved the design so that the phones could work with either Bluetooth or a cable (for situations when Bluetooth isn't available).

I've been using the wired/plug version of the Porta Pro for many, many years and found it to be the best, lightweight, compact portable personal headset on the market. Buds never did it for me as the my ear fit always caused them to become loose compromising their sound.
The wireless Porta Pro delivers the same great quality sound as the wired original without the limitation of the plug and wire tether. Have mostly used them in the first week to connect to my computer and I can walk away around the house with virtually no drop off in sound quality depending on the number of walls between the sound source and the headset. The play time on one charge is excellent.
This is a great purchase for anyone who wants to be untethered from phone or computer, and indispensable with the elimination of sound jacks from the newer generation of iPhones.

Over all nice sound, and are very comfortable. Some small chirping noises at low volumes can be annoying. The Blue power light is bright enough to make shadow puppets on the wall. I had to paint over the light on mine. I had hoped for better.

Overall
I've been a huge fan of the Porta Pro line for nearly a decade. Recently, with cellphones moving away from a traditional headphone jack, I've had to relegate my Porta Pros to home and work use only.
With the release of the wireless Porta Pros, I can finally ditch my bluetooth buds for my preferred on-ear headphones model design.
The sound quality is exactly what you would expect from the Porta Pro. In my estimation, the build quality is just a little bit higher than the wired version. I can't prove this, I don't want to try any experiments to try and prove this, but the wireless model feels a little bit sturdier than my wired Porta Pros.
The bluetooth range has generally been better than my previous headset (which was, ironically, twice the price of these). For example, with my old headset, I wasn't able to leave my phone in my room and walk around my apartment without losing signal in some places. These have had a strong clear connection nearly everywhere. I still have to do more testing to see just how far the connection will let me go, but so far so good.
Personally, I'm not off-put by the wire connecting the headset. Of course, I think many of us were hoping for a Porta Pro headset without a single wire, but fitting all the necessary components in the thin frame of the Porta Pros would have likely altered the look of this timeless classic. I think they went with the correct choice for this first generation of wireless Porta Pros. The Porta Pro design is gorgeous, and truly timeless. Perhaps one day there will be components affordable enough and small enough to integrate directly into the headset, but the tech just isn't cost-effective yet.
The design route they went in does have some phenomenal benefits, though. Sure, there's a wire. And sure there are two dangling pieces of plastic behind your ears. BUT, because they decided to externalize all the bluetooth components, including the battery, you get a higher than usual battery life, and as is mentioned earlier, the range is insanely good.
The advertised 12-hour battery life is accurate. Very accurate. I got these on a Saturday early-afternoon. I used them straight out of the box without charging them all weekend. I left them on overnight because I fell asleep watching a video, and they were still at 80% battery life when I checked. I didn't have to charge them until Monday afternoon. From early Saturday afternoon to Monday afternoon from the charge they had out of the box. This included pretty heavy test usage, leaving them on overnight, my morning commute to work, and essentially non-stop usage until they died in the afternoon.
Are these the absolute best, top-of-the-line, second-to-none bluetooth headphones? No. But the Porta Pros have never tried to be absolute best, top-of-the-line. They offer a tried-and-true product for an extremely reasonable price. Think of the wireless version of the Porta Pros like an extension of that philosophy. The design and tech behind the headset is the same, you just have the added benefit of using a truly phenomenal headphone design with wireless features.
You won't find another wireless headset with the same sound quality, battery life, and bluetooth range for the price.

We've been a BIG fan of KOSS for many years because of my history with music. They have a long history of making quality audio headphones that don't break the bank. Well, these wireless Porta Pro pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones do not disappoint. At the time of this writing, I've been talking on the phone for over 7 hours using them, and they're still going strong. The audio quality is what I've come to expect from KOSS which is excellent. And, personally, I also really LOVE the retro design!

I have not tried the wireless models - I'm writing this to help people who have had no experience with the PortaPro's or wireless headphones.
The original PortaPro was one of the most impressive budget headphones I have ever heard. Easily driven to high levels with your smartphone and offers a lovely smooth, fullsome sound. Regarding the bluetooth electronics, I have heard a number of inexpensive bluetooth earbuds which feature APTX codecs and can report that all of them featured high quality sound output from their electronics - no significant hiss, dropouts and plenty of volume. This was from inexpensive headphones from unknown manufacters - it's fair to say that with all their experience, Koss will do a good job. Plan on getting a pair when I can afford them.
