YAXI for PORTAPRO (Red)

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。

ちょっと高価ですが、交換は簡単で着け心地も快適。 純正品より一回り大きいサイズで、ホールド感が上がったように思います。 クッション性もあり長時間つけても疲れにくい。蒸れる感じもありません。 音質は変わりなしです。

遠山用に購入しました ブラウンですが色味は良いです 本体のアームを耳に合わせて前に捻ってから装着しましたが純正よりも快適です もっと安いのも売っていますが遠山のおしゃれさを崩しそうでやめました カラーバリエーションはもっとあった方が楽しいと思います

KOSSのPorta Proのイヤーパッドがボロボロになっていたので交換のため購入。元のイヤーパッドよりも若干大きく、素材も柔らかいので、耳を優しく包み込んでくれる感覚なので、付け替え後の方が個人的には好みの装着感になっています。

これのおかげで使用頻度が増えました

Ok

ヘッドフォンに始めから付いている黒色のイヤーパッドの大きさが直径５cm弱。それに対しこの製品は直径6cm強。 わすか1cmの差ですが､付け替えると非常に大きく見えます。 ヘッドフォン本体がスリムな為、よけいに大きく感じます。 純正もどきのケースに入れると、オレンジのイヤーパッド大きく歪み、皴だらけになるのでは、と心配です。 結局、わたしは純正の黒いいやパッドに付け替えて使用しています。

学生時代から何年も愛用している、KOSSのPORTAPRO。音は今でも最高なんですが、さすがに純正パッドがペラペラにへたってしまい、少し寂しい姿になっていました。そんな時に見つけたのが、このYAXIの交換パッドです。 正直、たかがスポンジ一つで…と侮っていました。交換してみて、心底驚きました。 まず、この絶妙なグリーンの色味がいい。黒とシルバーの無骨な本体に、こういう遊び心のある差し色が入るだけで、一気に愛着が倍増します。まるで新しいヘッドホンを手に入れたかのような新鮮な気持ちです。 そして、何より感動したのが装着感。純正品より明らかに厚みがあってフカフカ。耳への当たりが驚くほど優しくなり、長時間のリスニングでも全く痛くありません。通勤電車での音楽の時間が、明らかに豊かになりました。 音質にも良い変化を感じます。密閉性が少し上がったからか、PORTAPROの持ち味である元気な低音が、より豊かになったように思います。 千円ちょっとの投資で、これだけ満足度が上がるなんて…。古いものを長く、自分好みにカスタマイズしながら大切に使う、そんな大人のガジェットの楽しみ方を再発見させてくれる逸品です。

Pads consigliatissimi per aumentare il già ottimo suono delle Koss porta pro

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

I didn't realize how cheap the foam pads on my Koss PortaPro headphones were until I removed them and installed the Yaxi earpads. The Yaxi earpads are much thicker, uses a denser foam and just looks and feel higher quality. Installation was fairly simple, but you have to be careful pulling off the old earpads from the spikes that hold them in place as you can easily damage the earpads pulling them off. The Yaxi earpads are so comfortable on ears. I'm not a big fan of on-ear headphones because they hurt my ears after a while, which is why I love my PortaPros as I find they don't hurt my ears as much. With these Yaxi earpads, I almost feel no pressure against my ears. They are pillowy soft and feel so nice. It's a great upgrade for your PortaPros for about $15. As for sound quality, I didn't notice much of a difference and my PortaPros still sounded great. I did a comparison as I have two pairs of PortaPros and couldn't honestly say the Yaxi earpads improved the sound quality over the stock earpads. They also didn't negatively impact the sound quality which significantly improving the comfort and enjoyment of using my PortaPros so for that, the Yaxi earpads are a no brainer that every PortaPro owner should have.

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.
