And a third and a fourth. In the early stages of enjoying my Alessandro MS1000i's and am already looking forward to my next set of cans. I'm budgeting £200/$375 per pair and am looking for each set to be different acoustically from the last. Who can reccommend what set I turn to next, then...

Hello,   I'm looking to buy some sub-$100 open headphones for use in my room, since leakage isn't an issue. I listen to mostly mainstream pop/r&b music with some alternative and currently own Brainwavz M2/R03, which I like quite a lot.   I've narrowed my options down to Alessandro MS-1...

Hello headfi community! After some searching for a sub $100 pair of headphones, I have decided on these two. I will be mainly listening to rock. I have never experienced Grado's sound signature, but am interested in trying them out. I assume that open headphones have better sound quality; not...

It looks like I am going to get the MS1. I have been looking at mods. I have been looking at the MS1000 in particular. I thought "That's cool. MS1 + soundstage!". Then I looked at the cost. screw. $40+ for the "spacers" or whatever you call them and $45 for GS1000 cushions! $85? Is the...

I don't post here very often, but I lurk quite a bit.  I haven't yet ordered the GS1000 pads, but I probably will.  My question is whether I would be better served by a DAC or a k701.  I haven't heard too many comparasons between the MS-1000 and the k701, but I have searched quite a bit and only...

Can you visually tell if the current MS2 is base off the updated SR 325is?   Thanks.  

I know since one is open and one is closed, it is like comparing apples and oranges, but I need to make a decision. I listen to the whole spectrum but I would prefer something for Metal and Hard Rock though. I also would like something closed (for late night listening).  I would prefer...

I've been reading threads about Alessandro MS1 vs Grado SR225 and am thoroughly confused.   My source will be a Cowon J3, unamped.  I currently have Phonak PFE IEMs which I'm happy with, though they're not perfect; I use the gray filters.  I also have Sennheiser HD 238 which I do not like at...

I've been searching through these forums for quite some time, and I narrowed my buying choices of headphones to grado sr60i or the MS1i's for at home listening.These phones are going to be mainly used on my computer/Ipod. I'm leaning towards MS1i but I'm wondering is it worth the extra $30...

hello everybody ! first, sorry for my english (i'm a french newbie here !! ) here's my setup and then my question for you :   nad C515bee and rega P1 for sources, nad c315bee as integrated amp, q acoustic speakers, and Alessandro MS-1 (with hd414 pads), cables : QED Qunex1 and silver audio...

hey guys. im planning to get headphones for under $250 and really interested in the grado line because of all the research i've been doing =D. But as i was going to go for sr225i, they would by my first good pair of headphones, I just hope i won't be jumping the gun by going straight to it. I...

Hi guys:D   This is my first post here:D     I have been reading almost every post about these phones and now i would like some opinioes:D       First the basics:D   I have this system:   Arcam alpha 8 amp Marantz CD 63 MK-II KI signature B&W 603 speakers   Mp3...

Hi Hifi fans. I'm new here, wondering get a good headset.   some said M1 is the best at the price of $100.   what do yo think?   And where can I get M1, only on it's official website?

Hi I am a newbie here and to headphones in general and was hoping I could get some expert advice here. Looking to invest in some decent headphones which I will be using primarily for music and games:   70% music   -60% Electro, Dubstep, Drum and Bass -30% Rock, Metal -10% all else...

Hello Head-Fi'ers!   Been lurking for some time, first time I've gotten to posting.   I'm currently looking into buying a pair of Grado SRxx, more specifically the 60's or 80's, after hearing one of my colleagues SR80, with comfies. I current own a pair of AKG K601, and a pair of UE...

Wow...I know that there is already a thread on PK3's, but these are simply amazing. i never knew i could get this kind of detail and sound through earbuds. I haven't heard either PK1 or PK2, but from what I've heard, the PK3's have less clarity and more bass. This is simply everything I am...

And I loved them! Fantastic sounding can. I'm thinking about buying a pair but they are quite cheap and I was wondering if there was anything out there that sounds similar but is a little more high-end. I can get them for $150 here in Australia but I can spend about $400 on some new cans. So...

I thought this would be a good time to start a MS PRO thread. I ordered my pair today. I'll be using them with my Creative Vision:M DAP & PA2V2 amp. I'll also use them with my Denon CD player. I understand these Grado style headphones really shine with the use of a tube amp and I have hopes of...

Read this before answering:   I can either get the SR60 (to see if I like the signature) and then later upgrade to the SR225. Or... I can get the MS1 and be satisfied (hopefully).   So should I go and get the midrange model, or get the low end and upgrade later?   These will be my...

I have been reading a bit on here, but I thought I should share my specific circumstances and hopefully all y'all more edumucated folks can steer me in the right direction.   My main use will be recreational music listening via ipod/macbook-pro at home. I listen to a wide range of stuff...

Hello!   I am a happy owner of a Sansa Clip + Alessandro MS-1. I need a pair of IEM because I will have roommates next year and I would like to have a bit more isolation for home and a lighter equipement for outside use. I don't want to spend too much, max $80 or $100.   I listen mainly...

I recently bought an Alessandro MS2i with a Little Dot I+ (with Mullard M8161 / OPA2107) and I'm wondering if a classical Headphone Amps (instead of a tube amp) could be better ? The little dot is my first headphone amp, so I cannot compare with any other headphone amps, but I don't know...

I've been searching for hours on end and cannot for the life of me come to any sort of decision. I'm a man of simple pleasures, I'm no audiophile but I do like my music, hip hop mainly.   I want some closed headphones for travelling to work with for around £40, if anyone could recommend me...

For the love of GOD, my MS-1 is here!!!! the pain and the frustation of waiting is over! I received her, already broken in for over 600hours from her previous Head-Fier owner (Young&Wild) when he decided to move on to MS-2i. I just could not contain the fact how lucky I am to receive a used...
