On the hunt for past weeks. Finally got one offering a secondhand pair that’s only been used for a few hours, basically new. The dark and muddy impressions are true but I’ve really fell for the design since first I saw it. Fortunately it responds very well to EQ. Now it’s a favourite pair! My only regret is not getting the classic or anniversary colorway but doesn’t matter.
Yep I did more inclined towards neutral to harsh sounding earphones. My pair before this porta pro were Galaxy Buds+, Buds2, Moondrop Aria and a few chi-fi iems. Even back in 2020 I didn’t find the KZ ZSN Pro X to be sharp at all, even though almost everyone complained about it harsh high and metallic timbre, especially the sibilance lol. It’s not that the Porta Pro are bad, it does have a surprising amount of soundstage and imaging, just not what I’m used to
