What is really the diffrence between those models and do the 80s really worth the extra 27$? (In my counrty).
I Hear trance music by the way..

My conservative guess is that there are 15 threads on this topic on these forums.

Yes, just use the search, and at that point 27$ is not an obscene amount, I would just go with the SR80s.

 

[legless]

I would reckon it is a good choice to go with the SR-80s, even if you do not like them you can always resale them as Grados have quite a high resale price for 2nd hand phones.

I would get the SR80 over the SR60. The SR80 comes with bowls also, which make it sound better and are more comfortable (in my opinion).

If you're out of the US I wouldn't pay the extra money for the Grados, maybe check out MS1?

I chose to go with the 80s. Trance sounds nice through them, though I find they are better for the more industrial varieties (Psy, Goa, EBM, Futurepop etc.) than the more progressive varieties due to their sonic signature. Your mileage may vary, of course.

owned both and the 80s were better and worth the added cost

 

[rocdoc]

The 60's are a surprising little gem. For the price the "wow" factor is surely significant. Amazing how good sound you can get for dirt cheap. I am sure the 80's add a little extra and are probably worth the difference.

Thx guys

appreciate it@
I think il go with the 80s.
How much better is the ms-1 ?

 

[moogoob]

MS1s have a somewhat different sound signature that some like a bit more. I haven't heard them to compare to my 80s, though.

 

[Molooch]

Quick question:
Which is better for mp3-player use, SR60 or 80 ?

 

[2162]

They are both 32 ohm impedance

 

[indysmith]

if you want to use the phones on the move, don't get Grados - they leak a ridiculous amount of sound - i.e. it's like having speakers strapped to your head rather than headphones.

 

[Molooch]

According to HeadRoom :
"Tighter & more neutral than the SR60, but likely requires an amp not to sound a bit murky."

Edit:
To answer indysmith:
I will use them to and from school, and I don't take the buss.
So I dont think ill annoy anyone

sr80.. more bass and wider soundstage with the bowlies.
