    The Mic/volume control has a built in DAC. That's why its bigger.

    hello chuckolatte, you look like man who can help me. Iam in trouble with my koss porta pro. I have theese many years and had them connected to many devices. most of the time it was mp3 player iRiver wich was awsome, then came smart mobile, it was comfy and also little worse sound, but just a little. then all companies leave the jack3,5 and iam still in love with my porta pro. so i go to store and buy recomended dongle from apple, this usbc-jack3,5 thing. and sound is worse! again! So every step from iriver is worse and worse. Today i found iriver, I plug in my porta pro and BAM! this sound is crazy! its perfectly balanced, i hear so much more from every track. now tell me. how can i get this from my combination porta pro + google pixel 8a. wich dongle you recomend or! it is sollution switch to those new porta pro utility? In my opinion the sound quality from devices droping down

    So, if you look closely at these new Porta Pros, the driver housing has slightly changed from older models. The KPH40 share the very same housing as the new Porta Pros, too. The question is, are the KPH40 tuned any differently than the PPs, be it internally or with a difference in pad thickness?
    BTW, with your Retrospekt headband, it looks like you had the Porta Pro X drivers on said headband?
    I have that same headband, and when I attach the KSC75 driver's to it with stock pads they feel fine as far as comfort. Now, if I put the PP drivers on that headband with stock pads, the comfort doesn't do it for me. They need Yaxi pads. Sound improves, too.

    • @chuckolatte600
      @chuckolatte600  3 года назад +2

      It has to be worse simply due to the fact that it sits farther apart from your mouth. I've had people complain about my mic quality more on these than on the regular porta pros

    Hey, i am looking for headphones that would be suitable for all king of music genres with an excellent bass, good mids and good treble. I am trying to choose between Sennheiser 560s and Philips fidelio x2hr, which one would you recommend? Thanks

    • @brandonkey181
      @brandonkey181 3 года назад +1

      560s isn't really known for its bass and X2hr is a hate it or love it headphone. If you're into bass and want good treble, the Beyerdynamic Tygr 300r is a fantastic pick. Check out some reviews. The 58x wouldn't be bad either, especially if you replace the foam under the pads that touches your ear (replacing it with acoustic transparent foam really opens up the mids)

    • @chuckolatte600
      @chuckolatte600  3 года назад

      The 560S is more of a swiss army knife, while the x2hr might excel for some genres but be a tad too harsh for others. Not that bad though
