I need something that is portable. Sound quality is the most important factor. Price range $60-100. No buds please

right now im debating btwn Grado SR-60 or the Sennheiser PCX 200, which sounds better?

I like the Grado SR-60's better than the PX-200's, but the PX-200's are more portable.

Well I 4th that.

Also you can check out some Sony Eggos 66

how do the eggos compare to the Grados?

 

[RonTheMan]

I have the SR60 and I don't use it outdoors cause it leaks hell a lot. Other choice would be either Koss PortaPro or KSC75.

yea i dont want a pair of cans that leak, so what would give me the best sound quality for 60-100 bucks, im interested in the eggos but dont know how they compare to the grados.

I have read that the 60's are better sound wise, more detail ect., but the eggos are portable friendly and are closed.

Am I the only one here that doesn't heasitate using a full sized headphone for portable use? I am currently enjoying a pair of Sennhieser HD-555s for all my portable needs.

 

[meat01]

There aren't a lot of good choices for closed portable phones IMO. KSC-75's or Portapros are excellent portables, but they leak sound. I like my Shure E2C's because they are portable and don't leak sound, but they go inside your ear and you didn't want that. The PX-200's are portable, closed, but their sound is just OK.

Yeah, the SR-60's will leak and let in sound as if there wasn't anything next to your head except a sound source floating in midair. The PX200's will be a better alternative, and they're highly portable.

I know you were not refering to the comfort but, due to the kind of comfort the grados give I could never imagine them being a "sound source floating in midair".

well i dont care bout full sized cans i just dont want a cord thats 20 feet long, 1- 1.5 feet is best
