Well, my SR-80s just came in. They're incredible, and I've got no problem even before letting them burn-in. They are most definitely worth the money. Having not heard the SR-60s personally, I can not offer an impression on them VS the 80s, but there are enough opinions on this subject that you should be able to come to a conclusion yourself. I do, however, recommend trying to find a local hi-fi store so you can hear them for yourself. If you can, bring one of your favorite CDs to play so you can have a reference point.

I find they sound just fine out of an iPod Classic, which is essentially my "Portable Setup".

They have perhaps slightly better bass (when out of my Bithead), and you can pump them louder and with a tad less distortion, but at moderate volumes they sound just peachy.

For what it is worth, I had the SR80 and MS1 at the same time. Kept the MS1 and sold the SR80. Just preferrd the MS1 a little bit more.

While the debate on SR60 v SR80 is undecided, there doen't seem to be any argument against the MS1..

Kind regards

There's lots of debate....it depends on personal preference. Bright and analytical vs. bassy and punchy.
