Can't get much ifno on the K 319 and it is over $100. these aren't going to be used all thet much so I would like to spend 50ish.  Mids important, bass-I like it as g d intended not vibrating my skull.  Main cans ultrasone 2200-lovely.

had pk3 and senn mx760 so far. both are very good and reasonably priced. I slightly prefer the senns for their more open presentation.

I own K 319 and MX 880.
You would do nothing wrong with both.
I prefer the MX 880 but also like and enjoy the K 319.
If you want spend less money give the MX 580 a try.
Sound quality is very close to MX 880 but less expensive.
MX 580 has best price value ratio in my opinion.

Don't worry about earbuds vibrating yourself skull. It won't happen, especially not with earbuds.

What originally made me consider the k319 is that they advertise "semi-open". To me that meant a bit of awareness as to traffic coming up behind you And real "contact" with the music.  Would you get both with Senn?  If so - done deal.

If it doesn't block your ear canal, it's basically semi-open. But for real contact with music, really? I mean, just because there's a tube between you and the drivers doesn't make it any less real, right? There are reflections and acoustics to think about...

n 2nd thought, it probably just has to do w/ volume, since I'm not talking IN te ear.

 

[eclectic]

yep.

The MX 880 is at least as good as K 319 regarding these issues.
It is typical for earbuds to give you awareness about what happens around you and K 319 and MX 880 are no exceptions to this rule.
If I would have to choose between both now I would go for the MX 880.
This does not mean that K 319 is bad.

For me the mids are a little bit better on MX 880.
MX 880 has nearly perfect reproduction of human voices, quite natural and nice.
I never did try MX 560 but I own MX 760. MX 880 is better than MX 760.
