Warning! Fake Porta Pro discovered

It has come to the attention to Koss and us that a fake Porta Pro is in production originating in China. The fake Porta Pro has bad packing as well as errors in its prints. The overall design and sound is also inferior to the original. You should take note of all this when purchasing a Porta Pro and buy it only from authorised retailers.
