YAXI EARPADS for Koss PORTAPRO (Orange)

Perceptible difference in comfort and sound quality

Overpriced as hell. Almost cost as much as a new headphone. Could buy a better headphone for the combined price of the headphone and the overpriced yaxi pads.

Ik heb het product nooit ontvangen

純正品とは厚みや大きさが異なるため、音質が大きく変わってしまうのでは？と懸念しておりましたが、若干音がクリアになり、良い意味で変化を感じられました。あと、イヤーパッドの厚みが増して、ソフトなタッチ感から装着感も良くなりました。純正品は1時間ぐらいですぐ耳が痛くなりましたが、これなる3時間は行けるはず！オススメです。 PortaPro付けて出掛けよう。世の中を♪シャカシャカ♪してやろうぜ。

As espumas são ótimas e de boa qualidade. Porém, o custo-benefício é um pouco alto, pelo menos na conversão do valor. As almofadas de reposição da Yaxi possuem uma diferença surpreendente quando comparadas com a original do fone. Elas são maiores e possuem mais conforto. Quando coloquei elas e experimentei, parecia que eu nem estava usando fone, de tão suave. A original da Koss apertava e ficava desconfortável depois de pouco tempo de uso, o que me levou a comprá-las. Só tenho algumas observações sobre a entrega. Cuidado com mensagens de criminosos se passando pela Skypostal (transportadora), solicitando taxa de envio ou algo assim. A empresa é conhecida por ter uma confiabilidade questionável, por vazamentos de dados - recebi duas mensagens desses golpistas. Não foi o meu caso cair ou acreditar, pois esse truque não é novo. Outra coisa é que no anúncio falava que vinha um pôster laranja, porém não veio. Mas em compensação foram adicionados dois adesivos. Ótimo investimento.

Pretty and comfortable

QUICK STATS - Price: $15 for 2 pairs (a bargain compared to most "audiophile" upgrades) - Material: Open-cell poly foam - Thickness: About 0.5 inch (nice and plush) - Diameter: 2 3/8 inch (locks onto your head like a lovesick koala) - Colors: 8 options, 25+ 2-pair combos (Christmas, Halloween, Tuesday - you name it) THE SWEET SOUND NOTES ✓ Reportedly opens up the high-end response (finally hear the dog whistles!) ✓ Maintains the open, airy Porta Pro sound signature ✓ Comfortable enough for even the longest listening sessions (no "clamped vice grip" headaches here) THE (MINOR) DISCORDANT NOTE - More expensive than stock pads (your ears have champagne taste, what can we say?) INSTALL & TRANSPORT TIPS Swapping out the pads is blissfully simple - just wrap them around the driver case and let the integrated pins do their job. The Yaxi pads wrap around the divers a bit more aiding in a secure fit (photo comparison provided) Be carefule not to break the pins when removing old pads. And speaking of the stock pads, those slippery fellas have a tendency to go AWOL, especially when putting the headphones on or tossing them in your bag. These Yaxi replacements, on the other hand, stay firmly in place no matter what you put them through. REAL-WORLD RUNNER REVIEW As a daily runner relying on my trusty Porta Pros, the stock pads just couldn't keep up. These Yaxi replacements, on the other hand, stay firmly in place no matter how hard I push it. And the more breathable foam design means my ears don't end up as uncomfortably swampy and sad. TECH TALK (AUDIOPHILE OPTIONAL) The thicker Yaxi pads are said to gently open up the high-end response, creating a slightly airier, more spacious soundstage. Theoretically, this could be due to the proximity effect - the stock pads sit closer to your ears, emphasizing the low-end. But the extra foam also probably tames those highs a touch, keeping things nicely balanced. Not a night-and-day difference, but a welcome refinement for discerning listeners (or dog owners with exceptionally sensitive hearing). MIX-AND-MATCH MADNESS Yaxi offers 8 individual colors, allowing you to create over 25 unique 2-pair combo looks. Want to channel your inner Christmas elf? They've got festive red and green options. Hoping to match your lovingly curated sneaker collection? There are plenty of non-holiday hues to choose from. Just be prepared for seasonal costume commentary if you go the holly-jolly route. FINAL VERDICT If the stock Porta Pro pads keep letting you down (like a lukewarm football team), or you're simply looking to level up your listening experience, these Yaxi replacements are a worthy investment. They stay securely in place, breathe better than the originals, and may even give your tunes a subtle sonic upgrade. And with all those color options, you can customize your look to match your mood (or the calendar). Your ears - and your overall swagger - will thank you. Just don't be surprised if people start calling you "Rudolph" around the holidays.
