I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones under about $50. I was interested in the CX300's at first but want something I can use to work out with so now I'm thinking about the PX100's (I can't run with my Sony EX71s and I assume it's the same with the CX300's). Are the Grado SR60's light enough for that and worth the extra money over the PX100's? What other good models are out there for my budget? I mostly listen to Rush, 311, Frank Sinatra, other alternative and a bunch of other softer, acoustic type stuff. It would also be cool if they work well with my computer games. Thanks!

bump?

get the px100/px200

the sr60 is heavy in comparison to the px100 and not very portable

Honestly, you can't go wrong with either one of them. When I auditioned them both a while back, I decided that the SR60 were slightly better than the PX100. It had a more detailed, musical sound. I bought the PX100 in the end because they were cheaper and had 90% of that Grado flavour. I have never looked back since. The PX100 are now gone and I've got myself the SR325i. Indeed, the Grado sound signature is irresistable...

Like sonic_rage said, the SR60 are much less portable. They have a much bulkier cord and aren't as comfortable as the PX100.

ksc35 or ksc75. They're great for running. Will never fall off. But overall, i hate running with headphones. The sweat gets trapped in my ears.

portaPros are great for running. Mine have never ever fallen off. Sound awesome too.

my px100s would fall off sometimes during frantic movement, the kscs stayed on more often.
