Do you prefer closed-back or open-back headphones? Whatever option you choose, this comparison might be interesting for you as I have found the difference between GRADO SR60e vs Koss Porta Pro. The first device is open-back, while the other one has closed design. Both of them are wired and have an on-ear wearing style.

Speaking of the headphones Koss Porta Pro, there is a really great amount of bass weight, without any muddying or skewing the balance.

The wire which comes with these appliances is not detachable and its length is 120 cm in the case with Koss Porta Pro. Consider that there is no control buttons and a microphone.
