I have possibility to buy SR-60 for nice price. But also i can buy little damaged HD595(but 100% operational) for the same price. Which one should i choose?

While I feel that the 595 is a superior headphone, I suggest you buy the undamaged SR60s as they'll keep their value better and you can sell them on when you come to upgrade further down the line.

the sr 60s will resell better but are vastly inferior sounding (in my eyes)

I wont't really need to upgrade after this purchase ;]

We've all said that before...just wait until the curse of head-fi descends upon your ears!

 

[The_pGo]

But buying anything better than those two will be imossible. There ARE limits in my wallet...
And I want to finish(or stop for about... year) my headphone "journey" ;]

You can hear with your eyes??!?!?

I would also add the difference in form factor, viz. the senns are quite a bit larger, though the grado design is less than portable itself. I really like the signatures of both, just for different uses.

What about:
I loved my px100, and would really like something quite similar(but better)?

HD595s and SR60s are totally different sounding headphones. HD595 doesn't have the 'fun' factor which Grado does have, IMO HD595's sound is just boring (I can't say that Senns provide worse SQ, though). They are however way more comfy and if you like Sennheiser style sound, HD595s are the only way to go.

Well then, that's the 595s for sure. I have the PX100 too and they go together well. To be honest, I actually prefer the sound signature of the PX100s but that's not to say that the 595s are bad sounding at all. I'd agree that they're not very involving but don't let that put you off, for the price they're fantastic.

HD595 is far and away the better can.

595 is smooth and detailed with a little softness in the upper mids which make the middle mids seem to pop out a little. They have more low bass than the sr60s but less midbass. The sr60s are fun at first but the lack of soundstage makes all instruments seem like they are all playing from the same distance and the highs are grainy. They also have a plasticky coloration which I detect seems to come from somewhere in the upper mids.
The 595 is definitely a more audiophile can but the sr60s can be more fun for some. For the price being the same, I'd take the 595 any day over the sr60

 

[goober-george]

hd 595 obviously if you can buy them at the price of grado sr 60's. the value of the hd 595s are like triple the value of the grado sr 60s.

 

[nick20]

I say the SR60's.


How in the HECK can you sell a $200 HP for $50? These should be about $160+ used...






I think:

A. The seller is lieing to you, and they are broken..
or
B. The seller is trying to scam you..



I would personally stay away..
