Product Description

Delivering superb sound with a nod toward comfort, the PRO3AA Titanium is a professional quality stereophone that follows in the tradition of the broadcast and recording industry standard PRO4AA. During long recording and listening sessions wearers will appreciate the PRO3AA's ear-coddling leatherette ear cushions and its overall lighter-weight design just half the weight of the PRO4AA. With a crisp treble, warm natural mid-range, and taut bass, the PRO3AA delivers accurate sound reproduction that won't disappoint.The PRO3AA Titanium features dynamic elements for a wide frequency response from 15-20,000 Hz. A 2 mil. titanium coating on its diaphragms increases the rigidity of the element, minimizing mechanical distortion and ensuring exceedingly accurate sound reproduction. One-inch (25.4 mm) diameter oxygen-free copper voice coils improve signal transmission and conduction for cleaner, clearer sound. To capture every note and prevent sound from leaking through, closed leatherette earcushions form a comfortable seal around the ears, enhancing bass frequencies and isolating the listener from ambient noise.Designed for frequent use over extended periods, the PRO3AA's durable steel and rubber headband is padded and features adjustable slide bars to ensure a snug fit --critical for hearing every note and keeping unwanted sounds out. The PRO3AA's earcups fold up for protective storage and portability. A heavy-duty, single-entry eight-foot straight cord affords ample flexibility of movement. A 3.5 mm (1/8") plug and a 6.3 mm ( ") screw-on type adapter, both with gold-flashing, are included.With its precise sound reproduction and excellent isolation capabilities, sound professionals and music lovers alike will laud the outstanding performance and comfort of the PRO3AA.Built to last, the Pro3AAT is covered by Koss is covered by Koss' No*Questions*Asked Lifetime Warranty.

I am not a headphone expert, but these headphones sound great when listening to my rock and classical mp3's. They are crisp, with tight bass. Ear fatigue is minimal for me when I have them on at low levels all day at work.

I question the "Collapsible" claim in the headphone title. The ear pieces swivel 90 degrees, but that's about it. The headband part does not fold, bend, or move otherwise. These may be too bulky if you need to stuff them in a laptop bag.

One of the ear pieces on my set just broke off after owning them for about 2 months. I was quite frustrated by this, but Koss offers a lifetime warranty, so I'll be sending them in for an exchange.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Poor Craftsmanship, September 21, 2004

I bought my KOSS PRO3AA headphones at an electronics store. They last about 2 months, then the right headphone attachment broke while I was putting them on. They were not abused, and after much closer inspection I could see that the swivel is a very thin part, made of plastic, and had broken under normal usage.

While the sound in these are great, they only lasted 2 months. That isn't very long for $50 headphones. Koss wants me to ship them to their repair center at my expense, and pay for the return shipping costs as well. I am just going to spend that $10+ on something else more durable.

Great sound. Fantastic sound. Then one day, you'll try to adjust them, and they'll just shear off at the post. Not worth the money.
