Short answer: the Sivga Lyrebird. Both are rated 3.0/5 for sound quality (#988 and #999 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the Sivga Lyrebird costs $149 against $170.10 for the Punch Audio Portazo, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy.
What the Punch Audio Portazo does well: Bass is lifted about 3 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. The catch: Presence sits about 3.7 dB low with a 5.8 dB dip near 5.8 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
What the Sivga Lyrebird does well: Upper treble lifts about 3.1 dB for extra air and sparkle. The catch: A 5.1 dB peak near 8.2 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp.
Buy the Sivga Lyrebird. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $21.10 less than the Punch Audio Portazo.

Frequency Response Compared
Both headphones’ measurements overlaid on the Harman target. Above the target sounds louder in that range, below it quieter. Each curve is the median of several independent measurements, shifted so its 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB, so only the tuning is compared.
