Koss Portable Replacement Cushions,Black

I got the Koss PortaPro headphones when they were new, I think it was 1998. They're a really nice set of phones, BTW. Not studio monitors, but I worked in a boring lab job, and needed quality sound. Those delivered. That is, until, about 8 or 9 years later when the foam started disintegrating. I saw rotten black poly in my kid's ears when he borrowed them. These pads fit perfectly. They have been in place for almost 4 years now, and they have not disintegrated. I'm speaking directly to performance and longevity, now: A single set of these pads has been in place for almost 4 years, and has not started to break down. Granted, I use these in climate-controlled conditions only... but they're lasting so long, I don't even know where the package is. And the sound quality has not deteriorated in the least since this replacement. If anything, they restored the balance that was lost when the old pads degraded. I have and will continue to recommend these to friends. _____________ Update 2018: I just bought a new pack of these. I only used 4 of the first 6. My kid tore one, I lost another. The 4 that I used lasted almost 9 years. The second pair disintegrated almost completely after about 4.5 years of storage and 4 years of use. I consider that to be outstanding construction. However, I can also say that I would prefer a slightly lower-priced 4 pack of these, because I think that 9 years from now, I'm gonna have two pads left that I can't find, or are stiff from age without eve being used. Plus my kids grew up over the intervening time.

As advertised. Good product.

A little tight to get on but I like that. The originals became loose and came off frequently. I like these better.

I was able to replace the cushions that had disintegrated on my old Koss headset using these replacements. Although I did find that the cushions easily fall off; they are only held by pulling the cushion edges over the headset and that wasn't enough to keep them in place when the headset is used. However, a little bit of weak white glue around the circumference of the cushions seems to have them secure now.

These foam ear pads seem fine, but I struggled to figure out how to install them on my Koss KTXPRO1 Titanium headphones. The original foam pads had deteriorated to almost nothing after a few years even though I don't use them often. I found it easier to work with by first removing the speaker part from the head band; gently pry the speaker part from the two pivot nubs of the head band. Work on one side at a time so you don't swap left and right speakers. I could slip the tip of a flathead screwdriver between the inner black plastic speaker part and the outer plastic silver enclosure, but it did not snap apart and felt like I might break something if I forced it. Actually it does snap apart, but there is a dab of stretchy adhesive on the center junction where the two parts snap together. Use a fairly wide flathead screwdriver so that you can twist it to create a big gap. Work your way around with the screwdriver until you have loosened the hold of the adhesive and created a large enough gap so that you can grasp the black plastic part with one hand while holding onto the silver enclosure part with the other. Gently twist a little but mostly pull it apart until it breaks free. See the image for how it looks when you get it apart. You might pick out any excess adhesive that may get in the way of reassembly. Pull or cut out remnants of the old pad and replace with the new pad. Gently tug it into place, and push your finger along the surface from the center to the edge to help evenly distribute the new pad so that it covers the spiky nubs. To reassemble first make sure that the rubber cord strain relief is wedged in the notch on the silver enclosure. Then align the fastener part on the back of the black speaker with the corresponding part in the center of the silver enclosure. It is challenging to tell if you have it aligned correctly, but with visual approximation and a light touch you can do it. Making sure the wire is not going to be pinned in the center snapping fastener, press firmly and it will click into place.

Fit OK

I bought my Koss Portapro in late 2016 and the original foam pads started to disintegrate around last Xmas. I didn't bother to get new pads until recently, when I finally got tired of having black foam bits cramping my style when I am in my Tide fresh white wife beater. The pic for this looked somewhat sketchy, but for about 7 bucks, why not? So glad I did. The new pads are a perfect fit for my Portapro. Installation was painless and took seconds. The headphones feel so much more comfortable with the new pads on. But the best part was the sound quality. Holy moly, I forgot how good these sound. The new pads completely restored the highs and the sound stage. The clarity is a lot closer to my Grados than I remember... and that's saying something. Without a doubt, if you need replacement pads, these should do just fine.

They work/fit

Exactly as I expected. These are the real thing, fit perfectly my Koss PortaPro. Well worth the price.

やっぱり公式を買うのが1番ですね！カラフルなのを買ったことあるけど穴がデカくて外れやすかったりサクサクした素材で一年弱で経年劣化でポロポロ崩壊してきてびっくりしました。 でも公式で色んな色出してないですよね？ 見つけられなくて。。 自分は黒でいいんだけど需要ありそう。

Ohrpolster für den Coss Kopfhörer. Solides Produkt. Mittlerweile habe mehrere dieser Kopfhörer bei denen die Polster ausgetauscht werden, schön, dass sie zu kaufen sind.

Conforme à la commande sans surprise

Excelente, produto original e o envio foi super rápido
