This model, which the company (in 2000) withdrew after the failure of the sale. Cost of about CZK thousand more than the original Porta Pro (which is about 3tis). It is a completely different headphones kontstrukcÍ. Also folding. Head band is made of rubber and is said to sit on the head even better than Porta Pro. They look like this:

In the picture you can see also two push-shells - yes supposedly it is possible to deploy headphone shells, which you then can fit your whole ear from them then basically closed headphones!

I found on the internet that their failure was mainly due to even stronger bass than the porta - stronger would have gone really hard zkousnout ... On the other hand, there also express my longtime owner, who says this:

"Bass are deeper (completely objectively go down, in some passages it got heavily oposlouchaný, but are more natural and přÍjemějŠÍ. But still listen to much lately - ulÍtÁvÁm to jinejch. "

Nice find Blaster, but I definately prefer the retro design of the originals.
