Koss PRO4S

Koss's modern studio closed-back: full-size, over-ear, wired, made for tracking and everyday monitoring rather than nostalgia. It is what the company learned in the fifty years after the PRO 4AA, in a body you can wear all day.

The sealed cups keep click tracks out of microphones and the mix out of the room — the practical choice for recording vocals or late-night editing.

It is a working headphone with flat intentions, not a bass cannon; listeners shopping for the sofa should look at the home rows instead.
