DizRotus Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) After enjoying S4s for years I gave them to my son. I accidentally destroyed his S4s so it had to be done.Amazon delivered a pair of R6s today. http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-R6-Black-Headphone-Patented/dp/B00JFBDZ5W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1435335685&sr=8-1&keywords=Klipsch+R6+Black+In-Ear+Headphone+with+Patented+Oval+Tip+%28Black%29&pebp=1435335690031&perid=178XKBFDVAJTVTQVDDEZ They look good and sound better than the S4s. I also bought a pair of Sennheiser CX 300 II for less than $40. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-II-Precision-Enhanced-Earbuds/dp/B001EZYMF4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1435335207&sr=1-1&keywords=Sennheiser+CX+300+II&pebp=1435335236751&perid=1P2SATF8SXGYG6BMXM8A They're a good value at a little more than half the cost of the R6s, but the R6s are better in every way, other than price.

Vlad Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'm glad you dig them! How do you feel about the bass? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 I like it. Natural, not exaggerated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jecht Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I also have a pair of R6 which I got because my son's cat chewed the cord on my S4. The over all sound on the R6 is great as I am not a heavy bass person. I recently got a pair of status headphones as the ear buds hurt my ears no matter what buds I use. Couldn't pass them up for $70. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) My son read about these on Wired.com. http://www.amazon.com/Earphones-Headphones-Resistance-Different-Packaging/dp/B00O0I39GU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1435334814&sr=8-1&keywords=Mrice%C2%AE%28BALDOOR%29+E300&pebp=1435334817426&perid=0E43H0BNDDMA8S00P9S7 For $19.50 I gave them a try. They're a bargain, so much so that I ordered a pair for each of my sons. The hours on these, the Sennheisers and the Klipsch R6s are still low, so things could change. Switching from the Mrice to the R6s demonstrates a noticeable difference. I prefer the R6s for most types of music, but the Mrice sound very good. Each is a bargain at their respective price. I prefer the fit of the R6s. I would have a hard time justifying spending much more. FWIW, the auditioning has been using hi-res files on my Pono player.
