I just joined today, and i would like to thank this community for introducing me to my new Grado SR60, they are pure awesome. I but sadly it was even less portable than i thought. I use to use an ep730 or my bose triport IE for my daily mobile use. However im not sure witch to keep around, i need to free up some cash to by my next Grado

Any advice on witch is better would be appreciated.

P.S im planning to use them with the iPhone with the recessed Jack anyone know if they will fit? the Bose are the newer ones they have the rounded black part instead of the rectangular one.

It's all about what YOU like! Don't let the head-fi'ers tell you what to like and what to hate.
And the newer Bose IE's work with the 1st gen iPhone

Tried them myself and gave them to my girlfriend.

Are you a basshead or a fan of more audiophile like flat sound? Harman Kardons, IIRC, is a rebranded Etymotic, so if that is so then the bass is probably pretty weak. But either way, it'll probably sound closer to your new Grados (got a SR60 myself recently). Triports have stronger bass, although a muddled one, but if you like bass more than you'll probably elect to keep that instead.

keep the harman kardon's, they're made by etymotic, and are the exact same as the Altec Lansing Im716 except in black, and those are fantastic earphones, on the other hand. the bose just suck.

Thanks for the advice. is their anyway to get more bass from the ep730? I was thinking of making a Cmoy amp but i am not sure since im new to all this stuff. Would it make any noticeable difference?
