I'm facing a bit of a dilemma and am hoping my more experienced forum colleagues could help out a bit.
I love hearing detail in my music, and I also enjoy 'fun' v shape response headphones.
However, I do find headphones with a treble emphasis to be fatiguing and can't listen to these types of headphones for long periods. I've always wanted a pair of grado's but keep deciding against them because of their reputation as bright/fatiguing headphones.
Quick questions:
1. Some say Alessandro MS1i's are similar to Grado's but are a bit less fatiguing because the treble is rolled off ever so slightly. Is this an accurate assessment of the alessandro's sound signature?
2. What if I listen to grado's at low listening levels only? Will the harshness/fatigue issue become moot at low volumes?
Thanks -- looking forward to a solution.
