627948 2008-01-07 00:45:00 I want a pair of headphones for portable use with a MP3 player. I am impressed by the consistent rave reviews for the Grado SR60 which seems superior to others in its price range. However some critics say that it is great for home listening but has drawbacks for portable use. It costs 50% more than the Sennheiser PX100 which seems ideal for portable use BUT is the PX100 quality nearly as good as the Grado? I'd like replies from anyone who has listened or owned either the SR60's or the PX100's as I'd like to purchase one or the other soon. Krad (7878)

Amazing headphones. If your using them for portable audio, it's not worth spending mega bucks, as often there is background noise (walking around town of what have you), so any increase in quality will most likely not be noticed a lot of the time. And that's a lot of money for someone to walk off with...Sennheiser is a great brand, unless your a hardcore audiophile, I would stick with them. Can't comment on the others though... :nerd:

627950 2008-01-08 00:00:00 You confirm what I was thinking. Sennheiser is a good brand. Thanks. Krad (7878)
627951 2008-01-08 00:25:00 A good link to a useful opinion of the Sennheisers here (www.dansdata.com). A comment about the Grados here (www.dansdata.com), with a link to this (www.headphone.com) good review. Greg (193)
627952 2008-01-08 02:11:00 I have the PX100's, but haven't heard the Grados. The PX100 is great, they are lightweight and have excellent highs and lows (to my ears anyway). I use them as my main headphones. utopian201 (6245)
