Headphone Review, Koss PortaPro Folding Headphones

The other day, I decided to buy some new headphones to use with my iTouch, iPhone and laptop.  I wanted to buy some high end headphones that either go over the ear or on the ear because my "new bionic ear" is very sensitive in both sound and touch so in the ear type won't work for me.  I researched online  on CNET.com and the one that jumped out at me was the Koss PortaPro folding headphones.  I went to Bestbuy and purchased the Koss headphones for $49 plus tax.  These headphones are very retro '80s style, as a matter of fact the design is 23 years old.  They are super comfortable and don't make your ears overheat like the over the ear type do.  The open air type is also great for using in urban environments because you can hear what is going on around you.  The cord is wrapped in cloth for durability and they come with the plug adaptor for the old style large plugs.  All of that doesn't mean much if the headphones don't perform and these perform flawlessly!  The sound quality is phenomenal! Great treble and super bass.  I heard things in my music library that I have never heard before.  Granted, some of that has to do with my bionic ear, but most of it has to do with the range that these headphones cover.  Give them a try and let me know what you think.
