Wait I forgot to mention about the budget.Since my friend can get me that grado headphone for Rm320.So my budget will be around Rm320

PM Leviathan, he plans to sell his SR80 around that price. New one is close to RM400.

SR60 and SR80; the 80 has stronger bass. SR80 comes with bowl pads whereas the 60 comes with flats.

My fren says that this one got hi-demand from his friends customers so he rising the price.After a long talk with that guy,he finally give free postage to Melaka which consider good to me since I busy abit here in MMU Melaka.

yeah the grado SR60 will be around Rm280 at shops but hell I dun know where it is.maybe you guys should give me the address for the shop that selling this headphone hmm.gif

You can get a SR60 from Music by Design for more-or-less the price quoted by walabies actually. Add RM20 on bus tickets through and fro and you'll end up paying extra, whereas walabies giving you free postage.

I'd tried the e2c... well... I would rank it above any Mylars but it still loses to AL716. There's a testing pair at Machines so you may try them out if you want. Or if you have the budget, try the e4c. To my ears they sound better than the IM716s wink.gif
