Review of the Design of Porsche Design PDT60
The PDT60's headphone case, typical for all true wireless Bluetooth headphones, serves both as storage and charging. Its well-designed aluminum structure, slightly larger than regular true wireless Bluetooth headphones, provides a comfortable one-handed grip. Made of aluminum alloy, the top sliding cover is wrapped in black leather, offering a premium feel during operation, while the bottom features a plastic pad to prevent slipping on surfaces. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical.
Unlike traditional Bluetooth headphones, this storage case also serves as a Bluetooth pairing device. Simply place the charging case near the device you want to pair with, open the sliding cover, and the PDT60 will automatically initiate the Bluetooth pairing process. A convenient feature, making the traditional button-holding or combination of left and right earbuds unnecessary.
The main body of the PDT60 provides a 5-hour battery life, with an additional 15 hours provided by the charging case. It supports fast charging, providing 1 hour of usage with just 15 minutes of charging. Additionally, it supports Qi wireless charging, though the Qi wireless charging pad is not included. The power status of the charging case is displayed by four hidden LED lights on the top, automatically indicating when it's time to charge.
When it comes to the body of the PDT60 headphones, the size is slightly larger than most truly wireless Bluetooth headphones. The outer casing is crafted from aluminum alloy and plastic. The larger headphone frame can enhance internal volume, providing a spacious feel for listening and supplementing richness in low frequencies. Even following the design path, PDT60 remains conducive to acoustics.
Key Features of Porsche Design PDT60
In terms of functionality, PDT60 features active noise cancellation and Surround Sound mode, allowing you to stay connected to the outside world while wearing the headphones. Enhanced ENC during calls improves voice clarity, aligning with the standard features in most contemporary noise-canceling headphones. An outstanding feature is the integrated infrared sensor. When you remove PDT60 earbuds, music playback automatically pauses, and when you put them back on, playback resumes. A practical touch for those coffee breaks at the supermarket—just place PDT60 down, and the music stops. After your call, put them on again, and you're back to your exclusive music time.
In terms of functionality and performance, PDT60 lives up to the expectations of premium noise-canceling headphones. It supports Bluetooth 5.0 and boasts IPX5 water and dust resistance, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Porsche's elegant and refined design is evident in the PD aluminum alloy casing, featuring branded lettering that's instantly recognizable to enthusiasts.
Sound Quality
However, PDT60 is not just about design; it exceeds audio performance expectations. A crucial detail to note is the ultra-soft and comfortable earbud tips of PDT60. Ensure a snug fit when wearing them. If not fitted properly, the low frequencies may significantly decrease. So, when enjoying PDT60, make sure to secure them properly, and they'll deliver excellent sound.
Equipped with an 8mm neodymium dynamic driver, the low-mid frequency of PDT60 is truly exceptional. It not only delivers a sense of perfect volume but also maintains a clean and agile low-frequency response. Let's take Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' as an example—the PDT60 reproduces the powerful jazz drums and deep bass cleanly and robustly. The low frequencies are full and solid, providing a great sense of volume without distortion. Even with in-ear headphones, the PDT60 creates a relatively good spatial feel, unveiling layers of the audio recording.
Active Noise Cancellation Performance
Speaking of PDT60's noise-canceling feature, among the true wireless Bluetooth noise-canceling headphones I've used, it offers the most natural effectiveness when you activate the noise-canceling effects. In a relatively quiet environment, the noise-canceling effect may be challenging to perceive. In noisy conditions, activating the noise-canceling function creates a pressure sensation, isolating noise effectively. As ambient noise increases, the noise-canceling effectiveness automatically intensifies. The sense of noise and pressure is quite natural, even with the noise-canceling on, ensuring a comfortable listening experience.
The 'smart noise-canceling' feature is not exclusive to PDT60, but its noise-canceling effectiveness feels very natural, to the point where you can hardly feel the pressure when the noise-canceling is on. Even with active noise cancellation, the listening experience remains comfortable.
Should You Buy Porsche Design PDT60?
If you can't afford a Porsche, at least consider getting the Design PDT60. I initially thought Porsche Design was just capitalizing on the brand, but I didn't expect such high music performance. Well, what do you hear, and how do you look? Of course, wearing the PDT60 on the MRT still carries the allure of the brand's prestige, but I want to emphasize that the PDT60 is not just about the 'Porsche' brand glow. Its features and audio performance can undoubtedly surpass expectations. Once you've heard it, you'll know; you might even want to gift it to your family after experiencing its quality.
