Default Yuin PK2 or Mylarone X3??

Hi, I'm new to the forums, and am sorry if this has been posted before, but I am wondering which do you guys think is better between these two? I did a search and found one person liking the Yuin PK2 over the Mylarone X3 and another saying the mids are better on the PK2, but more bass on the X3.

I am trying to choose between the three as these two are close to my price range ($50-70) and would be mainly using this for walking to and back from campus when school starts. Isolation isn't really that important to me either. I would be using this with my iAudio X5 as my source and listen to almost all kinds of music (except for opera).

Thank you for the response, and again, sorry if this has been posted before.

imho if you're walking anywhere outside of your home or a quiet environment, then isolation is important. otherwise you will have to turn the volume up to compensate, but it still won't be as good as a little bit of isolation from the X3's. however, i have heard the yuin series is quite good. if you're not going to be outside much and its a short walk, that might be the way to go. but personally, i can't stand using open headphones like buds while walking around, but maybe my campus and neighborhood is just loud and full of ricers?
