Review: Excellent low-cost semi-open headphones - After reading positive reviews, including one by Cnet's Steve Guttenberg, I purchased these headphones to add to my collection of low-cost semi-open-back headphones (Koss Porta Pro, Koss KTX-PRO1, Superlux HD681 Evo, original Austrian-manufactured AKG K240). I'll focus on comparing this with the highly acclaimed Koss Porta Pro. Both headsets are new, so they haven't been "burned in" by having hours of music played through them, which many audio experts claim can open up the sound to be even better than when new. (Instead of my 20-year-old Porta Pro, I'm using a brand new Porta Pro Limited Edition, so that neither headset has benefited from burn in.) COMFORT: Initially the KPH30i is more comfortable than the Porta Pro. for 2 reasons: 1) its kidney-shaped earpieces are larger than the round earpieces of the Porta Pro, so the pressure is more distributed. 2) The KPH30i has a soft rubber suspension band that sits atop the head, while the Porta Pro has a narrow, unpadded metal band that sits atop the head. The clamping force is reasonable, just enough to keep the earpieces from slipping. I wore these headphones comfortable over my eyeglasses. It doesn't appear that the foam cushions are replaceable; they may be, but I don't want to risk pulling the cushions if they're glued on. The Porta Pro cushions are replaceable. SOUND: Excellent, especially at this price which is about $15-25 less than various versions of the Porta Pro. If you love the famous sound signature of the Porta Pros, you'll probably love the sound of the KPH30i, because the drivers are probably very similar, if not identical (both are rated at 60 ohms impedance, frequency response of 15-25,000 hertz, efficiency of 101 dB SPL. Both headsets produced the same ample loudness from my Samsung S8+ cellphone.) Both headsets being semi-open designs, they both offer a large "soundstage", which means that the voices and instruments don't sound entirely as if inside your head, but also sound as if the sound sources are around you, with broad stereo imaging. I played the same music on both headsets, and the KPH30i sounded nearly identical to my non-audiophile ears. Steve Guttenberg wrote that the Porta Pro is more transparent and clear, while with this KPH30i: "Treble detail is soft, the KPH30i isn't by any stretch a high-resolution headphone. There's a fuzziness to the sound to be sure, but it didn't intrude or detract from the music." He still loves the KPH30i, and I do, too. Like the Porta Pro, this KPH30i has a 4-foot, non-removable cord. The cord is thicker than the one on the Porta Pro. The KPH30i has a straight plug; I wish it were angled so that it wouldn't protrude 90 degrees coming out of the cellphone. A nice feature is that the plug has a spring-like coil that offers strain relief where the cord joins the plug. Overall, th KPH30i appears very well constructed and I'm guessing it will be durable if handled carefully. November 21st, 2018: I see that the Koss website sells replacement cushions for the KPH30i. Five dollars for 2 pairs, available in either gray or blue colors. The blue version is for the white KPH30i, but why not go crazy and place them on your gray KPH30i? ;-) March 10th, 2020 update: I improved the comfort and sound with 2 products available on desertcart: Yaxi earpads for Koss PortaPro (they also fit on these KPH30i) which bring more comfort and audio improvement, and HIDIZS S3 Portable Headphone Amp/USB C DAC/Audio Amplifier which plugs directly into the USB Type-C jack of my Samsung S9+ cellphone.
Review: Great Product! Immense Value! - I mostly use headphones to protect my neighbors from hearing me practice piano. I am extremely picky about how the piano sounds. I would use my studio speakers all the time. if I could. because the sound of the room is an important element to getting the piano 'sound.' I shopped around and eventually zeroed in on open back headphones because they give a little more dimension to the sound. I tried many products, sone 5x the price of the KPH30. These headphones are my ' go to', offering clean, balanced reproduction, open sound, efficient, so comfortable and extremely light weight, and they stay in position. I don't use the volume control, the piano knob is best for me. I would pay what ever it takes to have a single cable coming from one side with a plug so I could replace the short one that is included. I bought a stereo extension cable which works well giving me the length I need.. I have only had the set for about 2 months, but they seem well built to me Update: I bought a second pair of KPH30 headphones because I would never want to be without them, and they are so affordable--the price was even dropped dramatically. My original pair are still perfect in every way despite hours of use every day. I have an extension cable that allows me to use them in the kitchen, wear them when I clean house, and even exercise with them. They are so comfortable, stay in place, and the cable that came attached to them has survived being stepped on and severely yanked(accidentally) many times. I know it sounds like my mother owns the company, but no, I found these browsing desertcart. Originally, I bought several different brands in a price range from $20 to $150 and these are the most comfortable, the most stable on my head, and the sound is tops too. So, this is my way of saying thanks to Koss, and hopefully creating some good karma sharing the good news with you, and others!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these have the same drivers as the Portapro?**
A: I was told by the customer service department at Koss that these are indeed the exact same drivers as the PortaPro and SportaPro. Interestingly, that same person told me that the best driver they make are the ones in the KTXPro1, which is identical to these but with a titanium coated diaphragm for added stiffness. From what I can hear, they all sound identical.

**Q: So I can answer phone calls with this if it's connected to my phone correct?**
A: Yes, and it works great.  I have read that some people have problems using these with "i" devices, but they work great with my Android (LG G6).  If you get a call just push the button to answer and again to hang up.  For music you can use this to pause (single tap) or go to next track (2 clicks).  I get no complaints from callers regarding the quality of the microphone.

**Q: Will these work with PS4 plugged into the controller with the mic?**
A: My son has been using it for that purpose so I guess it would work.

**Q: Can I use to make phone calls on my android phone?**
A: Great mic for making calls with Android.  I know that people with "i" devices are having issues, but calling and using the button functions work great with my LG G6.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mostly great!
*by J***N on May 30, 2019*

These replace a worn pair of Senheisser Px100 from 2005 and a pair of Koss Porta Pros from a few years back. Outstanding sound for on the go adventures. I use primarily for morning walks, sitting on the back deck and travel. Super light weight, much more comfortable than Porta Pro and has great convenience of inline mic and remote control. Bass is not as rich as Porta Pro, however I thought Porta Pro bass was too much. Also thicker wires and sturdier than Porta Pro. My Porta Pros from a few years ago died when the headphone wire got rapped around the seat lever in my car. Getting out of the car, both headphone wires were severed. Update, the head band broke under the weight of a hard cover book in my backpack. They still work however, the thinner part of the head band that slide to adjust to head size can be fragile. Just handle with care. For the price, I bought a second pair. Should the drivers go bad, I have a spare set from the broken pair.
