When Daft Punk announced it was splitting up, naturally I was bummed. It had been a while since I listened to Random Access Memories, the group's last album, which was released all the way back in 2013.
Naturally when the news made the rounds, I wanted to spend the afternoon listening to some of my favorite Daft Punk tracks, many of which you can find here.
But I was in my feelings and may or may not have eaten an edible, so I couldn't just listen the way I normally would; on my Sony 1000XM2s or, even less ceremoniously, on my Samsung Buds+.
But how do they sound?
So here's how I would describe listening to the Porta Pros: The bass is warm and definitely present in the mix, but it isn't booming in the same way that bass on my 1000XM2s are. You should close to the bass drum, not inside the bass drum, and I like this a lot.
These headphones have mids and highs with pretty clear diction which is, again, chilled out compared to the immersive experience of the closed-back, noise cancelling maximalism of my 1000XM2s.
