It's been the same in the subway. I just read a book from Tony Schwartz in the 70s and from when I lived there in the 00s and a recent ish trip.

I live in a submarine for a few years, but people in confined spaces and it's interesting.

I like the porta pros better than the retrospekt. There are yagi pads you can replace on the porta pros to get that orange color and the replacement pads are way more comfortable.

I think if you do that it will improve your headphones. I completely left noise canceling after that. Plus honestly, with cassettes, you don't want noise canceling. 🤣

If you don't mind the look, which are very 80s, the sound quality is much better than the ones you have. I also think they fold better.

The retrospekt though, are a bit more cuter in a retro way.
