Just let us know where they will be available, and the prices. I could sell one of my PR1s and try the PR100 (the obvious move). Not interested in the PR200 as much.

OH!!! PR100 is avaliable now on gyratech
ECCI PR200 [PR200] - US$44.50 : Gyratech International Online Store

Thanks. I will wait to hear what Joker has to say about them before I give up a pair of my PR1 Pros. The PR100s are $33, which is pretty cheap. Have to wonder if they will outperform the PR1 Pro, since they are completely different design.

I'm looking forward to the PR200s if the sound is comparable and build quality is up to par. both phones are a lot cheaper

If that's the case, it seems that they're a revamp of the original PR1 and 2s, not the Pro line. Is that right...?

the wait for a pr100 review is so painful.
I kind of would like to wait to see if the new phones are any better than their predecessors, but the pr1 pro seem to be so well liked that it may be worth it to buy it before gyratech discontinues it...

From what I've been told the PR100 and PR200 are not derivatives of the old PR1/PR2. Therefore the Pro/non-Pro designation does not really apply. My guess is as good as anyone's as to what they sound like.

Anyone out there notice better bass and slightly better isolation with Sony Hybrid's as opposed to the OEM tips? I just put them on and there seems to be an increase in low end perhaps because of better fit/isolation?

 

[tstarn06]

I use the Sony hybrids and to me, they are a better option than the OEM tips. Bass, iso and overall sound sig.

good to hear...no pun intended. I'm glad it's not just a placebo effect. These really are a great bargain.

 

[tstarn06]

Indeed they are. And that's why I bought two pair, in case one breaks and they stop making them.

I am looking to buy a headphone these H/P reviewved by you come in mind. I listen mainly to vocal and jazz music and not a bass freak. These h/ps are easily available from ebay or shops,

1. AKG K81
2. Cyclone Pr2 Pro upgrade of PR1?
3. MeElectronics Ai-M6
4. Soundmagic PL50

they are similarly priced. Which one would you recommend? Thanks

 

[ljokerl]

I have not tried the PR2 Pro, sorry. From what I've read they are not an upgrade from the PR1 but rather a different sound altogether. Honestly, for vocal and jazz I would go with the PL50. They have this lushness of midrange that the others can't match and just sound great with vocals. As long as you're not after that fun 'big bass, shiny treble' signature the PL50 will work very well. As an added bonus I think there's a 15% off coupon code active for soundmagic products at focalprice.com.

 

[james444]

I have the pr2 and agree with joker: pl50.

So is the eBay seller trustworthy?

Looking forward to hearing these.
