I got a pair of the new Koss Porta Pro Wireless headphones that Vlad just reviewed for The Verge. I feel so free. I’ve been wearing Apple’s Beats X headphones for a few months because of the convenient form factor. But I was losing my passion for music. Those tinny earbuds suck the soul out of everything. It sounds like I’m listening to music over a phone line. Not the case with the Porta Pro Wireless.

Do they suck in most technical regards as competent wireless headphones?

Yes.

But they’re musical. And that’s what matters to me.
