Portapro is a small devil, but really different from Alessandro.

I was thinking about upgrading my Koss portapro... Was considering alessandro ms1 as priority option by reading reviews. I wanted to know how these cans compare considering soundstage, powerfool and distinct controlled bass, comfort etc ... I mostly listen to pop so will you recommend these cans for pop...

Also if you know anyone who has purchased Alessandro online in India would be great to know about

Alessandro Ms1 is another class. I had it same time with Grado225i, Ms1 more natural and better soundstage, I sold the Grado. versatile good for pop.

I dont know about India.

the ms1's are great headphones for pop. they're great imo and if you're looking for more modding them or changing out the pads will change the sound a bit. comfort wise grados arent the most comfortable atleast for long listening but i can wear mine for hours, i guess im use to it after all these years.

Modding isn't an option here in India I guess due to the availability of parts... I am already having a hard time finding a dealer for Alessandro

Has anyone bought the headphones online from alessandro website in india?
Does any one know how the custom duties work ?
Will i be required to pay the custom duty on alessandro ms1 if i buy it online from their website ?

I would expect you would have to pay import duty (I live in the UK and I did when I bought some). The way it works in the UK is that Royal Mail held the parcel and sent me a postcard with details of a website where I could pay the duty, after which the parcel was delivered. I'm not sure how it works in India, sorry!
 
This website should help you work out how much you'll need to pay:

If the procedure here is the way it is in UK... I won't mind then going through it. But someone needs to confirm this. Anyone else who can help...?

I got my MS1's a couple hours ago and they sound great to my ears and don't mind the pocket knife (I have an interest in cutlery besides headphones lol).

I just got my MS1s and they are not the e series drivers. I went with the original design because I like the smaller cup. Is it only the new design that had the e drivers or did I get old stock? They do sound amazing either way.

I think you should try to contact them and send a photo to see if they the drivers are the "e" ones. Although I'm only guessing that it's an old stock model.

You received the e driver model.. i have the MS1i and the driver is silver. You got the original MS1 design with the smaller cup and e driver. Nice one

Quite, the backs of the drivers are clearly painted red!

Those aren't my photos. I just quoted them from an earlier post because they show the old cups with the new drivers. My drivers are definitely silver.

 

[CJG888]

Then they're not "e"s...

I know that. I was asking if the current MS1s come with " e's" and if I got old stock. The photo I quoted was another head-fier's MS1s with old cups and new drivers. I have already sent them an email but the are not known for their replies.
