I just had my SR60i for around 2weeks, seems like they sound very much like the in-ears that came with my Gogear SA52x. Someone here is selling his K271 MKII for around $120, is it a step up from the SR60i? Or would I be better off keeping my SR60i instead? Or should I sell the SR60i and get me a M50?

the SR-60i is very different from the k271 MKII and ATH-M50.

Do you like the SR-60?

You should sell the SR60i to help fund the K271 MKII especially if some day you may be buying a headphone amp, or else buy the M50.

They sound fine. Out of the box,they sound just like my iems. I'll try to compare them now that they've burnt-in a little around 70hours. Does the k271 and m50 need an amp? I feel the sound of the sr60i a bit light when coming from my gogear. It's a bit fuller from the comp though.

IMHO, keep the SR60. They're an excellent 'phone that will last you a long time and give you some nice sound. If you need to be reminded how excellent these are, listen to some tracks from Clapton's Unplugged (or anything acoustic) or Metallica's Ride the Lightning. This is what I do whenever I become restless with my SR225i, and then I come to peace. I don't know, sonically, how different the SR60i is from the SR225i, but the most beautiful sound I've heard through my SR225i is Miles Davis' Kind of Blue SBM Mastersound.

Thanks for the input guys. Anyone here on the K271 or M50 side?

 

[paaj]

k271 is a very different headphone, closed, better soundstage and more neutral but light on bass and not as 'fun' as a Grado.

 

[winwin]

Is it really that low on bass?

 

[paaj]

depends on taste: for some it's enough, but I've never seen anyone that says it's too much

what's there is tight and deep, but I preferred it on my stereo-amp with bass volume up.
If you don't expect big bass it's probably al right, but the only way to know for sure it to try for yourself.

 

[winwin]

Yeah, I'd want to give it a try. Unfortunately, I can't, there are no audio stores that provide good headphones around the place that i live in.

I have on occasion.

How far away are you from Uncle Ken?

I'd say $120 is pretty decent I guess.

EDIT:
I see the K271MKII are in Roxas Blvd. Uncle Ken is in Makati. IIRC, that isn't all that far.

I have a pair of SR80 and M50 and in terms of music I prefer the open back of the SR80 over the M50 for music but I enjoy watching movies more with M50 as everything is more up front.

 

[LingLing1337]

^M50 is more upfront than SR80? Wow. But I understand what you mean, the comfort and the bass has to be a lot nicer with the M50, so I agree that it would win for movies.

Quite far actually, i live in mindanao, he's in luzon. We're on opposite sides of the phils.

Ah, then I must've been looking at the wrong listing...
