The PS-1 has got a far more natural frequency response than the R10, to my ears. The PS-1 has got bass that the R10 can only dream about, and may be the most dynamic of the dynamic headphones. However, once you get to the midrange, the R10 takes over, IMO. It's got far more resolution than the PS-1 (with flat pads, anyway). The R10's spatial presentation is unmatched IME. I'd rate the PS-1 has having more finesse than the K-1000. The K-1000 is another headphone thats key feature is the sense of an acoustic space it can create. In that, it and the R10 each are unique in their own way.

For the ability to compel you into the music, the R10 is still the king IMO. But the PS-1 is getting very close.
