KOSS Open-Back Big Prime Days sale [also regular sales]

Counter-headphone-culture darling KOSS is also participating in the Big Prime Deals during October 10-11 in 2023 with the good old Classic PORTA PRO going for $27.60 and the KPH-30i-RB going for $21. As fate would have it, I purchased the classic Porta Pro almost exactly ten years ago!

But the Koss Amazon store also has a few on sale that are not part of the Big Prime deals – meaning anyone can buy them, not just Prime members:

+ Koss Porta Pro Utility On-Ears for $25

+ Koss Porta Pro Black On-Ears for $30

+ Koss Porta PRO Limited Editions for $35 – either the “Black Gold” or the “Rhythm Beige”

Headphones are part of the Prime Deals

Headphones are part of the Amazon Prime Big Deal sales with three pages of offerings in this, headlined as per the Amazon display, by the Sony consumer headphones.

Needless to say, Amazon is not Massdrop, so you won’t find all the audiophile/audiophool products there, but there is Beats, Bang & Olufsen, Shure Aonic, BOSE, Sennheiser [there’s a separate post here on these], various Amazon-famous bluetooth-y brands, and of course the consumer-darling the AirPODS PRO (2nd Gen) for $189 in your choice of USB-C or the abandoned and discarded by Cupertino Lightning connector 🙂
