They are much more comfortable for one. The Penrose X is one of the least comfortable headsets I have owned. The Penrose are louder and have a much more pronounced bass response. The Portal have a very clear and balanced sound and some really cool controls. The mic sounds better on the Penrose but there is a boom mic where the Portal only has a mic array that works pretty well. They both work very well and are very clear. Positional sound is really good on both. The software for the portal app make updating sound settings on the fly a breeze. If you are planning to use them for more than games I would grab the Portal. Just gaming I would probably go for the Penrose as long as you dont have a big head (size 8)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have both. These have way more range and versatility than the Audezes. The Penrose sounds pretty good for gaming, but lack of an ios app and general connectivity is why they are sitting on my shelf in favor of these B&O's
