A question for the runners in this thread, how are the portapros and wind noise while running?

IMO not good. KPPs are too open. stick with IEM for running.

I disagree. The microphonics of IEMs are much more troubling to me. I run regularly and I love using my Portapros; they're light, non-microphonic, and I don't really notice much wind noise.

I Agree. I'm a walker, not a runner (I suffer from some back problems) and use my Portapros since I find that when using IEM's every step resounds within my skull; plus they're very comfortable and since they're cheap I don't mind sweating all over them

cheers!

What would we expect to hear different out of the portapro with the 414 pads?

Probably nothing without modding them further. But, on their own, the PortaPros still sound pretty awesome.
