Last week I was looking for some cheap on-ear headphones that fold. I went to the store and saw a bunch of choices and at first I settled on the Skullcandy Lowriders...big mistake. They were extremely bassy and the sound was not clean at all. I took them back, and for a few more dollars I decided on the PortaPros. The look was not grabbing but their reputation precedes them...so I pulled the trigger.
When I first fired these bad boys up I wasn't expecting much. I was greeted with really clean sounding headphones. The bass is strong but not overpowering, the mids are clear and detailed, and the highs are a little bit on the bright side in the higher frequencies but not harsh. Overall I was surprised at the sonic performance of these puppies. I could easily compare the sound of these phones to my bother's Denon AH-D7000's.
The looks are growing on me, at first I was NOT a fan, but now I think I can dig it. But the good thing is, I can't see them when I am listening so...
The build quality seems a little flimsy, I handle them lightly. On the bright side, if they break, there is a lifetime warranty.
