Koss Portable Replacement Cushions,Black

Took a while to get the Koss KTXPRO1 Titanium headphones apart to change the foam. It felt like I was going to break something for sure. Hint-move speaker from head band pry up around the edge, once you pry a little bit, gently twist back and forth a little bit and it will pop out.

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.

There were several negative reviews that these replacement pads would not stay on. I used the blunt end of a thin metal nail file to push the edges into the gap in the headphones like the original pads were (being careful not to rip them). It has been 2 1/2 years so far and they are still firmly in place. These are an excellent product I recommend to extend the useful life of your headphones.

Perfect match for the original pads on my Koss porta pros

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.

These are exactly the same as the stock ear pads. Easy to install, feel good, and sound great. I've used them on both the PortaPros and KSC-75 headphones. The fact that there are 6 pads in the package makes this an amazing value. Highly Recommended!

Fits perfect for standard headphones.

I have an older Koss headset and these do not fit it. They are way too big and fall right off.

die Ohrpolster halten äußerst lange und sind gut gefertigt und liegen angenehm auf dem Ohr auf. Man kann sie schnell an die Kopfhörer anbringen.

Excelente produto e fornecedor entregou dentro do prazo estipulado.

Ideali per rimettere in ordine le cuffie Koss Porta Pro (fantastiche per la loro fascia di prodotto) quando i cuscinetti si consumano. Ricambio originale e perfetto. Assolutamente consigliato. Amazon, come sempre, top!

Någon kommenterade att detta inte var original men det håller jag inte med om. Känns och ser helt genuint ut. Lurarna blev som nya, men det måste man ju verkligen vänta sig med det hutlösa priset. Billigare än nya lurar, trots allt.
