In Reply to: Are Grado SR80i decent entry headphones? posted by AbeCollins on November 7, 2011 at 16:05:56:
I just noticed this post of yours; I don't frequent this forum..
I agree that for flights and minimizing outside noise, some closed headphones may be better for your purpose...
that said, I have some SR80s.. when I shopped for them, I took along some cd's and did A/B with them, mainly against the SR60s, which are a few bucks cheaper. It was easy to tell the diff, with the 80's able to get more bass, and I liked the sound better in general. My thinking was that if I can hear a positive improvement for the price of about 1 cd, then get it. Where else can you get that out of audio gear very often? I've replaced the foam once and added an extension cable.
I also have a few smaller phones... Yuin makes some nice buds, which I like but they don't stay in my ear while skiing. For that, i like these. I also have a pr of Etymotics (ER6i) but the wires are pretty fragile and one of them died. Sounded great tho, and good in-ear isolation. So are the RE0s.
