S4s gone, Mrice E300 are good, but R6s are better

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.

They look good and sound better than the S4s. I also bought a pair of Sennheiser CX 300 II for less than $40.

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.

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.

My son read about these on Wired.com.

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.
