thanks, probably just gonna rock the stocks then....

How did you end up liking them? I have a pair of Porta pros on their way and am looking for some nice pads for them and saw those on ebay as well.

Does anyone know where it is for sale?  I have not been able to find any places that stock it and google searches only point to reviews and those kinder hippo cookies....

Quote:   Mine fit over the bottom but on the top I guess...  My girlfriend says her ears fit comfortably in them (she has SR-60i w/ L-cush) and she can wear them forever with out discomfort, so it depends on your head shape...   Also, You should look into Alessandro MS-1/MS-1i as...

My vote is for Sony MDR-7506 w/ Beyer Velour Pads...  Those pads make them the most comfortable cans I have worn...  I can wear them all day and still not tire of them.

I own three pairs, but only use two...   My Alessandro MS-1i are my daily headphones around the city and on the subway, etc, and rocking out at home.   MDR-7506 for recording sound on set, really long listening sessions (the beyer pads almost make me not want to take them off), and when...

Quote:   Seriously...

Quote: Thanks!  I was really impressed with it when it arrived, now they almost look as good as they sound.   BTW; I saw on your site the limited ones you made (and no longer have), and really like a lot of your cups...  any chance you may do a limited run in the classic style?  I like...

  Alessandro MS1i Custom HeadPhone Lounge Saddle/Onyx Headband w/ Contrasting Stitching L-Cushion Ear Pads   Planning on getting some woody cups in the near future, and possibly have a re-cable later on down the line.  Will do metal hinges when the stock ones go.   If anyone has...

Sounds like a lose or bad connection in the cups from what you are describing.  If in warrantry (or out of warrantry and unmodded) I would contact grado.  I believe they have a pretty reasonable service fee for out of waranty repairs as well.  If you have modded them then you should know how to...

Quote:   The only reputable source to buy Alessandro's is from Alessandro... Here is the link: http://www.alessandro-products.com/headphones.html   hint: MS-1 = Music Series One w/mini original - $99 MS-1i = Music Series One w/mini 2009 version - $109

Quote:   They are the same as any other plastic grados when it comes to modding...  My GF has the 60's and I have the MS1s, and I perfer the MS1s, and really feel they are worth the extra $20 or so.  Much more open (probably mostly due to having the 'buttons' already removed, and a much...

If you are mainly listening to Rock, Metal, Alternative, and especially classic rock, I would totally go with the Grado SR-225i (also look into the MS-2 possibly as well).  They are not so heavily biased that you cannot listen to anything but rock (I listen to some rap both old and new, and they...
