Has anyone compared a Senn MX560 ($30) to Yuin PK2 ($80)? Any others in this price range that stand out?

I only listen through an Ipod Touch, is there a large improvement to be gained paying more for something like a PK1 or ATH-CM7 SV?

I already have IEMs, looking for something non-isolating, portable, but not bulky like my KSC-75s.

I had the mx500, and now the PK2's. PK are superior in EVERY WAY. I no longer have the 500 to a/b them and give you exact comparisons, but I really dis-liked the 500's and went from there to the cx300 liked them better, but the Yuins are what I listen to now.

Great reply, thanks!

Any opinions from anyone on whether there is value in making a price leap to the next level for my basic setup (oem, un-amped), or is the PK2 a good price/value point for this application? Any others to consider?

PK2 all the way, if you can afford more try PK1 feed by an amp
