has anyone bought or heard the grado SR60 ? hey y'all, how do the Sennheiser PX 100 Headphones compare with the Grado SR60?

I have both. If you want the best sound then go with the Grado's. If you're concerned about looks and comfort, then go with the Sennheisers. Grado SR 60's definitely sound better and are much louder, but this comes at the expense of looks and comfort. I'd take the Grado's if I were you...

I recommend that you scan some of the user reviews for both headphone sets on Amazon.com. That way you can get many versions of people's thinking on the pros and cons of each headphone. You may even find some reviews that compare the 990's to the 598's. For me, I love both of these headphones. They are as good as one can find especially considering their reasonable price. I bought the Beyerdynamic 990-Pro-250 in December 2013, and paid about $70 less than what I paid for the Sennheiser 598s which I purchased one year earlier. Since both sets of headphones are very comparable in quality and sound, I consider the Beyerdynamics the better buy. Also, the Beyerdynamics is a little more comfortable if you plan to use them for prolonged periods of time. On the other hand, the Sennheisers are one good looking headphones and sound great, just like the Beyerdynamics. If you can get the Beyerdynamics for $50-$70 less than the Sennheisers, I would recommend you go with them instead of the Sennheisers. However, I consider both sets of headphones a real bargain. I might also mention that the Sennheisers have a very long cord (about 10ft or so), while the Beyerdynamics has a much shorter coiled cord).

I don't really buy into the whole discussion about whether one headphone is better or worse for any particular kind of music. Good speakers and headphones can play it all. I have pluggedy grados straight into my Line6 amp and had no complaints whatsoever. Of course you always have to watch the levels bit that holds true whether you are using cheap earbuds or top of the line Grados.

Blow them out of the water in every regard IMO, less bass in these though (not an issue for me as I would rather controlled bass than more bass) also depending on what you are used to they are relatively bright as far as lower mid range headphones go. They are unweildy to take out in public if you aren't using them at home though (the M50's do a good job outside) I would recommend going for the A900X's over the A700X's if you can afford the difference though, the Aluminum housing makes a rather large difference imo.

The pro700's had more bass to them but it really muffled the other ranges to the point that I really didn't like the sound. The ATH-M50's are my favorite headphone I've tried yet. Good rounded sound but decent bass too. I love them. Also the M50's are much more comfortable.

I have had the DR DREI Beats when they first came out and they fell apart and I ddint like em. and then got the Bose ie1 and with the foam tips the bass and all is very good. they sound much beter than the DR drei beats and the Boss IE1 I dont know how they compare to the Boss IE 2 but. they are thgew best sounding pair Iv had so far. but I notice a big difrence with the foam tips, and I plan to up grade the cable hope that will give them even beter bass . I hope this was of some help. I do recamend these they live up to there claim just keep the tips in mind.

I have used both. Both in Sennheiser Units. I haven't had a problem with either one in the limited time that I've used them. Other than a little bit of gaon adjustment, I can't see the price difference. Especially for the price, the SE 10 works perfectly In most applications.

For open headphones, these are pretty bass heavy.I would say that they have more bass than the headphones I've listened to personally. (Grado Sr60/80/325i, AKG K271,Q701)Personally, I would consider them to have good bass response and that seems to be the shared opinion of other owners on Head-Fi.

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both.Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

Had the pleasure of owning both. The SE535's are very good and I while I expected the SE846's to be better then the 535's, I was doubtful that they would be good enough for me to spend the extra $'s. Wrong. The 846's are a totally different immersive music experience and the difference is both in clarity (sounds that you can't discern with most other headphones) and the bass, that is clear and not overbearing. My wife won't allow me to wear them in the house (sound isolation is immense) but I seek out time to listen to them as they are a treat, every time!

When I sent in my px100 original for RMA at Sennheiser USA (Old Lyme, CT I think), one of the higher reps told me there's no difference except the -II looks better and is supposedly more durable. I sold the PX100-II's right after I recieved them and I miss them alot, as stupid as it sounds. Oh well, I'm using the Grado SR325's now!

Wish I could help but I don't own the sennheiser 598's. I considered buying them but settled on the beyer 990's instead. When I have the $ I was thinking of getting either the 598's or the audio technica ath-m50x's. I love my beyer 990's but wanted to get another pair a quality headphones to mess with. Hope u find the pair that fits your needs.

i can not give you the best answer here because i have not used the px 200 ii i but looking at a picture and the technical specs, the look like a closed ear design as opposed to my px 100 ii i which are open air design. I think the px 200 ii i might not sound as good at the higher frequencies or may sound muffled compared to the px 200 ii i, and looking at the frequency ranges of the two headphones, px 100 ii i looks like it can reach higher frequencies than the px 200 ii i. The closed design of the px 200 ii i should provide better noise isolation though

Thank you very much for your help!I found the same headphones at the apple store online (for a lot more then here!). They show the PX 100 in two colors (white and black---no mention of a "W") and the picture they show of the white one is the same as here. It is very strange how different the descriptions are, but I'm going to have to agree with you that they are basically the same.Thanks again for your help, JoshEDIT: The Sennheiser site has the same discription for both products: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=005206 Thank you very much for your help!I found the same headphones at the apple store online (for a lot more then here!).

I haven't tried the Sennheisers but I do know that the Bose SoundTrues work very well with my classical music, both orchestral and opera. There is a bias toward rich lows and mids in the Bose, and that works well with this type of music. However, after returning my first pair because I thought there was too much bass, I was told about the 23 EQ settings in my iTunes Library. For the last 5 years, mine has been set to "Flat". Well, I bought another pair, put the EQ setting on "treble booster" and found it absolutely perfect. Not only did it maintain the deep lows but the tenor voices and soprano voices were beautiful. I suggest you try a pair, experiment with your EQ if you want (though a lot of people just like the sound of the SoundTrues right out of the box) and if you don't like them, most retailers (including Bose.com) will allow you to return them within 30 days or so. I think even if you enhanced the bass on these ("bass booster" setting) you find they are not as thumpity-bumpity boomy bass like Beats. Over half the people I know own Beats because they prefer bass over everything, but that is not what music is all about. Bose is balanced across the full sound spectrum. There is also a "classical" EQ setting in iTunes which makes these Bose bring out a nice richness for that type of music.

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config: SRS TruSurround HD &lt;Off&gt; SRS TruVolume &lt;On&gt; Equalizer Settings &lt;OFF&gt; *important* Base &lt;75&gt; Treble &lt;50&gt; Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

I have no idea, but I am a grado headphone nut. So if it were me I would just get thr new sr80's headphone in the new series e. And hear sound like never before.
