An Arctic White Escape

When the world is too loud...

A friend I met on one of my socials got me my first pair of Koss Porta Pro LE Rhythm Beige headphones back in 2023. I was immediately hooked. They’re super lightweight, retro, and surprisingly sound good1 for something that folds neatly into its own little case. It's been one of my favorite everyday things that I've been throwing inside my bag.

Fast forward to this year, Koss recently released a wireless Arctic White version. The same friend actually helped design it, which I thought was super cool. When I mentioned how much I loved it, he offered to send me a sample2, which came with a few extra ear cushions in different sizes and colors.

Anyways, right now I’m rocking the oversized orange cushions, but the purple ones are next in rotation. Because, obviously.
