I want one so bad its not even funny. It's not likely the Pk1 is better. I've learned to trust in sennheiser, they do not let you down. Anyone notice how the MX580 and the grado 225i are very similar in sound lol...:\

Man, and when I think that I got mine for twenty bucks...Plain luck.

where did you get them?

 

[emti]

^ how? I'll buy it from you for 30

but seriously, all these posts really make me curious about MX 980 (and TM5

)

@ningerelf:
Yeah, I read that one, I'm the op for that thread

like I said...the king is still PK1 to me..but now I'm more hesitated to buy PK1

Can't wait to read a post about the comparison with another earbuds!

@nengerlf, the MX980 seems intriguing to me now

Guys,

I am looking to buy a new pair of earphones and looking at the prices difference between MX980 which is 130 GBP vs 35 GBP for MX880. Do you think the pricde difference is worth it?

How do these two pairs stand next to MX760?

I also looked at the MX980 on Sennheiser's website and the metal part that sticks out of the earphone itself looks pretty fragile and looks like it could easily just bend. What is your impression there?

I would really appreciate the input.

Out of Stock. But, yes it seems the most reasonable price and for this price I would not be considering the MX880s or MX760s.

Signed up for updates on the site to be notified when they become available

I can tell you that it most certainly won't bend. The build quality of MX 980 is just flawless, a pleasure to look at and to feel. They look somehow fragile like some jewelry, but they feel so reliable.
I also like the fact that there is a serial number engraved on one of the earphones. It's not justa random number, but it really says "S/N: XXXX", like some limited edition, and kind of gives you confidence in what you own.

Can you compare them to MX880/ 760 and maybe AKG K319? Have you had any of these?

Unfortunately, from the new models I only had CX 870, which were clearly a lower league

Juliens, where did you get yours for $30?

For 20, not 30

great buy. looks like the seller had no idea how much it retails for

 

[JulienS]

I think he knew for how much it retails but he was unfortunate enough to have his auction ending on the Good Friday night when I think that most of ebayers were busy preparing for Easter, but I waited patiently in front of my computer and I won

Anyway, this is the best deal I ever had on ebay.
