I tried them at my friends studio and the sound is amazing.

How would they be for use in a gym (for work-outs that are not-too-strenuous)? Will they work with an iPod shuffle?

I love that this product hasn't changed in 25 years, a virtual eternity in technological years, simply because Koss got it right. The PortaPro sound is clear and deep, and a single pair powered me through a whole doctoral thesis.

(Unfortunately at the end of that thesis process, one of the plastic clips holding the two sliding metal bands broke, but hey look, Koss has a got a lifetime warranty! I sent off my old PortaPro's with $6 and am eagerly waiting for the new ones to arrive.)

Another advantage to these headphones is that their sound doesn't leak - - so you're being very kind to fellow subway riders.

Like sdbobbyt I also encountered the issue with the foam wearing out. But the replacement foam set is more than just one set.

I am, however, about to get my third pair; my satchel fell to the floor, and the plastic snapped. That having been said, I'm still getting them.

These head-phones are the best! The sound quality is comparable to anything 20 times the price.
