đŸ”¶ Koss Porta-Pro

Headphones [Official] Open Back

I should clarify that I do not live in, or anywhere near, Tokyo. I live in The Netherlands :P. They (Yaxi) send me a copy of the document from Japan post which has my correct address on it (unless they coudn’t figure out that ‘Netherlands’ is ‘The Netherlands’).
But yeah I’ll probably mail Yaxi again then. I was hoping maybe I didn’t understand correctly and it just hasn’t left Tokyo for whatever other reason and they are now sending it my way :frowning:.

I know in the U.S. “returned to sender” is when a package is refused/undeliverable. Perhaps the post mixed up the shipping and rather than international it went domestic. I’m not sure, but hopefully Yaxi will have a better answer.

Good luck.

Thinking about getting a pair of these to use when out walking.

Just wondering if there is any difference between the classics and these? Anyone had any experience with both?

No difference, just the color and possibly an in-line mic!

Agreed, the color way and possibly a newer mic. Great headphones. :+1:t4:

I definitely recommend getting the Yaxi Pads. They’re available direct from Yaxi jp, or usually via Amazon.

Cheers!

How did you get your cable modded?

65

I didn’t. But I’ve seen that you can put mmcx sockets in. I might try.

If it’s not a mod cable then why does it look like fabric? Also why are the drivers and switches red?

67

That’s the cable and colors it came with. There are a few models it seems.

68

Is that cable nicer than the usual koss stuff? And if so, could you link it?

I got it here. Is all I can tell you.

I think they made a mistake and sent the Red Hot variant.

I checked the internet to make sure that it’s not a fake Porta pro. It seems it’s legit, the only problem I have is a channel imbalance (Depending on the source it’s more or less prominent)

I remember there were a couple of Special Editions a few years ago that had a cloth wrapped cable. Pretty sure that color way was one of them. They also ha White with that cloth cable.

There were several limited color ways tat were European exclusives. I should’ve bought a pair of the white.
