Yeah i will be going for Audio Technica M20, but little bit confused on IEM's . Any word on Koss PortaPro's ?

Koss Portapros are very good in their own way. A comparison from a review on another forum:

Compared to my favourite Portapros I must say its a very close fight. The M20s have better soundstage and bass. However the Portapros have better mids and highs along with instrument separation. So its still a toss up between the two. The build quality and isolation of the M20s is however far better than the Portapros though.

Wht abt IEM's still confused, which one shuld i get?

I also tried Xb-300 in sony showroom, any word about that?

Audio Technica M20 is having less score in Test Freaks then Xb-300 and Koss PortaPro and even HD-202.

Confused

Do help me guyz as early as possible, i will be taking them tommorow.

I am getting PL 21 at 700 from SMC, which one is better PL 11 or PL 21?

PL 21 comes with a mic afaik. Better for mobile phones. Someone told me PL21 is better, although I don't remember why. Can't help you with those as I have not heard either.

As for headphones, if you think build quality is not a problem, go for the Portapros.

Hey i think MP 21 is having mic and PL 21 is not having Mic, isnt it?

And i am not getting Koss Porta Pros less then 2800, dnt want to spend this much,want to get both the headphones in 3k.

Have to choose from HD 202 , MP 20 and XB300 or any other at 2300 max Still confused and have to take them tommorow only .

Oops, yes MP21 has the mic. Sorry. Wait a minute.

PL 11:

Pros

Great sound, easy to drive
Good set of accessories
Unmatched bang for buck

Cons

Treble seems slightly rolled off
Bass goes deep, but not with authority
Cable housing near the driver could be more robust

PL 21

Pros:
amazing midrange
solid bass
excellent build quality
superb value for money - unbeatable for the price

Cons :
slight treble roll -off
fit/comfort could be better
lack of hard case/ additional tips

Google gave me this. Hope it is useful.

Will be going for Pl21 and what abt over the ears? :))

I haven't heard the HD202, so I dunno. But I like the M20.
