I was thinking about it, cause I need a set of jogging headphones. Yet, headphones for jogging is no easy task to pick. They can't be too heavy, have to fit well on your ear, and not move to much. Also, length and width of cord is important.

SO, I wanted to get one, but honestly if they come in no good, I didn't want to lose all that money to ship to Canada. Waiting for some reviews for people to tell me how heavy they are and the such.

For the $50 headphone market usually people aren't going to go in blindly cause unlike $300 or above, which you know will sound good even if its not your personal favorite sound signature, it could be a hit or miss thing. And people looking for $50 headphones generally don't have that many to endure a hit or miss... like me.

Might be a longshot, but I'd like to see a shoot-out between the Grado streetstyle and Senn PX100 streetstyle (pmx100?). Overall design/comfort and sound comparisons would be great.

For so long people have been wanting a higher quality streetstyle, and now we've got a few choices!

At the price, I'll pick up a pair on a whim. It's not something I will seek through e-sellers, but rather a set of headphones I'll likely grab on a lazy day window shopping at the local Hi-fi shop.

Oh, and I think they're dead sexy in that nasty, war-time, Grado way.

Edit - and they'll be in black, thank you very much.

No, because streetsyle is a terrible design idea in the first place. I have yet to find a streetsyle to fit my head except one that hurt like crazy after just 5 minutes.

They should have went with clip-on style and retooled the looks to look more simple.

Didn't someone mod their SR-60s to be streetstyle? I was expecting smaller SR-xxx cups with a KSC-55 like headband.
