The best deal in headphones, totally worth the money. When you inevitably break the cable you can snap some ksc-75 onto the headband for a cheap replacement that sounds great. I highly recommend picking up the yaxi pads for $12 too, they're super comfy.

I have a couple pairs actually, I need backups because I like them so much lol. They go around the neck just fine but be aware that if you're out in the sun the metal headband will get really hot.

Once in a while they'll yank on a hair but it's negligible when you're familiar with taking them off. I get more hair pulling from the kph30i and even my Sundara.

Gotcha, yeah I'm not too worried about the hair pulling, mostly just whether theyre comfortable enough around the neck that I won't mind wearing them there any time I'm out and about and don't want them actively on my ears

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

I found porta pro to be completely comfortable around my neck. That was more than a decade ago now (my god), but the design should be the same. Occasionally they would yank out a hair from my neck, but not enough to really bother me.

Might buy a pair again actually, they were lightweight and served me well back in the day.

I'm glad you chimed in to add your perspective, that's genuinely really helpful. I think they'll probably end up as my earbuds replacement when I get around to replacing them
