Anything look strange?

 

[Mr_Penut]

can't remember the boxes I got my two pairs in

sorry

Looks like them,
mine has a leatherette pouch.

I am listening to them right now and they are something else. I don't listen to them for 1 month then I do and WOW!,

everytime it's pure delight.

There is no "thinking" is the sound OK, enough bass?? or whatever... They just sound Great!!

It's like greatness through simplicity.

I should buy another pair, for backup.

regards,

I hope you're right. I've been hearing how great these are through other people and need to find out for myself. The seller from the link I gave you has another pair listed. I'm surprised no one has picked it up.

Oh and I actually like how it looks. Maybe I'll change my mind when I try it on.

It's great you are checking them out for yourself!
Sportapro, Portapro, KSC75 all are well liked here.

Any music I put through them sounds, for me, as it should. Right now enjoying Opeth's growls and they deliver very well. "Intellectually" they look like cheap but the 60 ohms driver do their job.

Listen to Beethoven's symp and it rocks!!

Yeah that looks like the boxes I have been getting mine in.

You should be pleased, they're really good for the money.

 

[Electro Point]

Yep, thats the boxes they come in. Great headphones for the money.

Certainly looks like the right packaging. Check the color of the plastic used to make the outer part of the driver. I think (somebody please confirm or refute) that the PortaPro 2 had black plastic used on the drivers while the originals have the blue plastic.

What is wrong with PP2? Different drivers?

From what I understand, nothing except for the slightly different appearance and the exclusion of the "comfort zone" adjustment.
