Hi, y'all

I need help for choosing an IEM (preferred) or regular earbuds to replace my SR60. I really like the sound of SR60 for my music collection, but since it is really not portable, I have to find a portable replacement that has very similar sound signature with the SR60. My budget is ~$100, but if you really think it's worth the extra money for the sound quality or maybe comfort, you can recommend me something up to $200.

Thank you very much.

Considering an amp? If not, read up on the Yuin PK2s ($69). If so, the PK1s are great. Both are ear buds, not IEMs or canal phones. The latter are $129, so you may opt for the former because they don't need an amp and people rave about them. I'm a big Yuin PK fan, obviously.

While not a Grado-sounding IEM, I also favor the Atrio M5 IEM. Plenty to read about it here on head-fi. Great, quality bass. Mids and highs are fine too, but bass rules.

if u like grado sound, try PK2

Thanks for the replies. I am not planning to carry an amp around, so I think I will go with PK2.

Actually I noticed this Yuin PK2 too, but I don't know where to buy here in the states. I'm going back to China for the holiday this December, so maybe I will pick up a pair then. But if anyone knows where to buy PK2 here in the states, please let me know coz I really need a pair soon. I realize that there's a thread for PK3 group buy, but is there any for PK2? Or should I open a PK2 group buy thread myself? coz I figured if there are enough people want to buy these, then I will just have some friend ship them from China so that way shipping won't be that bad per pair. Any thoughts?

These aren't going to isolate well, so keep that in mind.
