Our take on the Koss PRO4AA

by David Brown

Built to stand the test of time

Koss has been pleasing ears since 1970 with their PRO4AA headphones. The vintage looks of the latest PRO4AA nicely compliment their sweet sound. Designed for use in recording studios, these unique closed-back headphones provide excellent noise isolation, so external distractions don't disrupt your listening. They present your music with clarity and accuracy, so you can experience it as the artist intended.

The PRO4AA combines durability and comfort, with a rugged exterior wrapped around the softly padded headband and earcups. The 8-foot coiled cable gives you room to move about as you listen, perfect for use with your home system.  There's even a boom microphone mount on the earcup, for use in broadcast production.

Highlights:

  • closed-back design keeps out external noise for listening in any environment
  • 8-foot coiled cable with 1/4-inch plug
  • boom microphone mount on left earcup
  • frequency response: 10-25,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 95 dB
  • impedance: 250 ohms
  • weight: 22.6 oz.
  • warranty: lifetime
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    Overview: The Koss Pro/4AA noise-isolating, full-size headphones feature oversized elements and an exceptionally wide frequency response (10Hz-25k Hz). The steel and integrated padded headband lets you use the headphones for extended periods. The generous ear pads and closed design shut out external noise so all you hear is the music. The left earcup has a threaded mount for an optional boom microphone.

    History: The Pro/4AA headphones were first introduced in 1970. A staple of music and radio professionals, the Pro/4AA set the standard for high fidelity performance until it was retired in the late 1980s. By popular demand, the model was reintroduced, and remains a favorite with sound professionals and audiophiles. It continues to be manufactured in the USA.

    Cord: The heavy duty 8' coiled cord extends from the left earcup, and terminates into a full-sized 1/4" plug. No adapters are included with the Pro/4AA.

    Warranty: The Pro/4AA is covered by the Koss Stereophones Limited Lifetime Warranty.

    Specifications:

    • Frequency Response: 10Hz-25kHz
    • Sensitivity (dB/1mW): 95dB
    • Nominal Impedance: 250 ohms

    The headphones are really great sounding, a very wide spectrum of sound. When I used a phono jack extension I encountered lots of static and poor sound quality. I solved this by using s 1/6" rubber "O" ring on the base of the headphone phonojack, connected it to the extension cord and it works perfectly, great sound.

    Wow, and not broke in yet!

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Wow, these headphones sound incredible and I just received them. I hear it takes about 30 hours to break them in, and then they really sound good. Very articulate from the deepest bass all the way up to the highest treble. Very neutral, no coloration at all, no overtones, just pure clean sound. They do take a bit of a signal at 250 ohms but thats why they can handle what you give em and sound incredible without being instantly loud. If you are buying them, you must know they are quite heavy, not your walk around headphones. But they are built like a tank and don't feel cheap, although I have heard that the older version was even more solid. You hear every little detail in the music and mix. In my opinion they are well worth price. Awsome service from Crutchfield, as ususal.
    Pros:
    very articulate, flat no coloration, awsome frequency response, extremely solid
    Cons:
    a bit heavy for very long wearing periods
