Or is there a better phone i can get at RM99?

Guys I have a budget of rm299 and I'm looking at Grado SR60i which is 300 a little over, wondering if it's worth it or are there better contenders for that price range.

- Will be using onbaord audio for now, planning to get sound card or a DAC soon
- Music, but I will use it for gaming anyway but I don't care about gaming performance
- mp3, flac
- Rock, hard rock, metal etc. bands like LZ, nirvana those sort
- Headphone, closed preferably but I wont mind open
*
Yes, SR 60i is very suitable for hard rock and metal, is bright and forward headphone, go for it.

Guys do u have any idea if Sennheiser HD201 is comfortable for long hours of usage (ie. not painful after long hours etc)?

Depend on your ears.

My personal preference is to open can, close can will make me feel stressed when listening for long hours. blush.gif
