2. Setup and Adjustments

The Porta Pro headphones are designed for a personalized fit. Follow these steps for optimal comfort and sound:

1. Adjust Headband: Extend or retract the metal headband to fit your head size.
2. Position Ear Plates: The multi-pivoting ear plates allow for flexible positioning. Ensure the foam pads sit comfortably on your ears.
3. Utilize ComfortZone Pads: Located on the temporal pads, the ComfortZone slider allows you to shift pressure between the ear pads and the temporal pads. Slide it towards "FIRM" for more pressure on the ears, or towards "LIGHT" for less pressure, balancing it with the temporal pads.
4. Connect to Device: Plug the 3.5 mm stereo jack connector into your audio device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, computer). For devices without a 3.5mm jack (like newer iPhones), an appropriate adapter will be required.

4. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Koss Porta Pro headphones, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Ear Pad Replacement: The foam ear pads are replaceable. If they become worn or damaged, new pads can be easily installed. Gently remove the old pads and snap the new ones into place.
• Storage: Utilize the collapsible design and included carrying case for protective storage when not in use. This helps prevent tangling of the cable and protects the headphones from damage.
