Talk me out of it, /g/.
spend an extra 10-20 on a clip+ for rockbox
Just use your phone

10-20 he says
>>52076070
Porta Pros have lots of sound leakage
those headphones look retarded desu
>>52076070
Use your phone with nicer headphones.
>>52076148

Say I don't have a phone. Now what?
>>52076245

sounds good to me ;)
got my Clip+ for 34€ new last week
>>52076304
¿Donde?
>>52076323
electronics store in sweden ;D
>>52076136
They're super comfy for glasses wearers
>>52076070
Buy better headphones, you idiot. For that price (including surplus), get either the MDR-7506 or the M40X.
>>52076592
No I could not. I said $100, not $150 or $200.
Man, are these really worth the meme? I kind of really fucking want them. How much more faggy could I really look using this shit with my X220?
PortaPros are built like toys and break in 20 seconds. Don't do it.
>>52076633
Are you retarded? Those cost like $70.
Even if you're not buying them, use the money you have instead of buying those shit Koss.
>>52076661
You could buy some K701s. Then buy me a pair. I have a nice pair of cargo shorts that I can wear as we sit on the bus together watching anime on your laptop using a USB DAC.

That should keep you under 100 dollars.
>>52076680
$79.99 is not $70. Like you'd know.

Porta pros are very nice and garbage at the same time. Good value for price but those are meant to be used as portable phones and yet are completely unsuited for listening on the go due to being completely open. Any decent iems are better. Smartphone + pistons v3 is godtier budget on the go combo.
My God, those are the uggliest headphones I have ever seen. Buy some Sennheiser mm30i's or something like holy fuck.
Sweaty fat neckbeard.
>>52076747
I never understood the hype for sticking things in ones ears.
Koss KSC75
Same sound as Portapro but clip onto ears instead of using a band. They're much more comfortable.
>>52076133
>>52076747
>muh leak
If someone two feet away can hear what you're listening to, your volume is too high. Unfortunately, you require this high volume level now because you've already destroyed your ears by listening to the volume too high.
Sucks to be deaf.
>>52076747
>IEMs
gross
Get a pair of Xiaomi Piston III on top of that and you're golden. You can use the Pistons when you don't want other people to hear what you're listening to.
>>52076070
had them. my hair always got caught in the band.
people can hear what you're listening to
Porta pros left channel wear out easily
>>52077093
>people can hear what your listening too
So i can spread some good fucking taste?
>>52077109
you'll just increase the hatred of your neighbourhood on you
>>52077145
How can anyone hate catching a quick sound of max normal : songs from the mall?
>>52077195
it goes beyond your authistic comprehension anon, just don't do it if you are certain that you use open headphones in a crowded environment
>>52077018
The problem is that YOU can hear what i happening around you, not what people can hear. I have porta pros and those headphones are simply unsuited for what they are meant to be used for, period. Try using this shit on bus, you crank volume up to the max and you still hear everything around you.
>>52077266
They're semi-open headphones you fucking moron.
>>52077266
Isn't that a good thing? You wouldn't want to be creamed by an oncoming semi truck because you couldn't see past the edge of your huge ass audiophile cans.
>>52077266
they're meant to be used in your room listening to music lmao
>>52077281
And that's the problem you dumb fuck, I said it at the very beginning. This is why I say porta pros are not suited for portable use, and for home use there are much better choices. This is also why my 5 year old porta pros gather dust now, replaced by much cheaper pair of iems.
>>52077289
No it's not a good thing. I'm not saying that you should get perfect isolation, but porta pros leak so much you can hardly hear shit. Porta pros literally play like shit if there is any kind of noise around you, what's even the point? Just use stock earbuds.
>>52076245
If you don't have a phone, you probably don't go out, at which point why would you even possibly need a portable music player.
>>52077679
You ask to borrow those of other people. This is picking up chicks 101.

apple earpods are better than portapros
also cheaper
>>52077018
>If someone two feet away can hear what you're listening to, your volume is too high.
This isn't remotely true, I can hear my HD598s from the other room at measured safe listening levels
>>52076070
I'd probably get xDuoo or Ruizu player off ebay/aliexpress but otherwise pretty gud
>>52076304
>>52076323
>>52076086
So what makes the older models better? Thinking of getting one now that my phone has no sd slot.
>>52079961
rockbox
lets you record all your plays on a scrobbler.log file and let last.fm know what you were listening to on the public john.
>>52079982
Really? What if I don't give a shit about last.fm or telling my friends what they already know?
>>52079999
They have a wiki.
>>52076126
>tfw I got a sansa clip+ for $24 and free shipping last year
>>52076070
I bought a pair of porta pros on clearance at Kmart for $2
PortaPros are nice.
>>52076663
Mine are 14 years old. I've replaced the pads twice, but everything else is as-new.
You just suck at having things.
Those are the ugliest fucking autism headphones I've ever seen. I hope this post is a troll.
Are the Xiaomi Piston 3 worth it?
I need something portable.
>>52077109
absolutely disgusting
>>52076136
But they are one of the best headphones ever made, sound stage and the overall spectrum are considered one of the best of all time.. But hey, youre just a fucking otaku who doesnt know shit. Who prefer looks than function like your pillow waifu.
>>52077093
>people can hear what you're listening to
And what should I give a fuck?
>>52080894
>one of the best headphones ever made
okay friend lets not kid ourselves the porta pros are good for the price.
>>52076070
Clip Sport is shit.
>>52076086
Just bought one "refurbished" on amazon. Did I fuck up? Seller said 9/10 condition and he only has one bad review. Still worried though...
>>52080587
>posted from my Beats by Dr. Dre
>>52080981
I think she is wearing them backwards.
>>52076070
I bought these.
Use them with my Walkman A25 or cellphone.
They are pretty great for being so cheap ($80).

It's different once you get a job.
I'm in a similar situation. I'm looking for a cheap mp3 player. All I need is a SD slot and folder support.
I already have a clip+ but I want something similar to keep connected to my stereo system. It doesn't have to be as compact as the clip but I don't need extreme quality and I don't want to spend a lot.
>>52081198
Do you also pay $50 for a cup of coffee because you have a job?
>>52081176
I have a job and I won't spend80 bucks to listen music on my phone.
>>52081176
Must be nice having no responsibilities
>>52081226
Nope.
But for a headset you will use for years, $80 isn't a ridiculous amount.
Now, if he had gotten the $1k+ se846, that would be kinda nuts.
>>52081291
Those are earbuds...
Don't mind paying for a gold headset, or okay earbuds but the 15€ akgy-something are probably the highest I'd accept to pay for earbuds
anyone ever get annoyed at the shape of the porta pros plug?
just make a regular right angle plug
>>52081368
They are IEMs.

I have one, it's cheap Chinese DAP that supports several audio files, has decent battery life and has microsd slot. Only really gripe I have that when I select music from playback menu, it doesn't show tracks in proper order, but when you select music on file browser it shows them alphabetically. Bought one to replace my Sansa Clip+, and in general I'm pretty happy having it.
