Hey, does these mods work the same way it does on SR80i's?

Quote: Okay thanks a lot. I think I'm gonna go for Alessandro for $99. Oh, does Alessandro provide warranty? Let's say the item is damaged upon receiving it, will they resend another MS-1 if I post it back to them?

Hm, $15 is like RM50. It's really out of my budget. Maybe I should just take the chance, since USPS is quite a trust able courier company.   EDIT: Does Grado Labs offer international shipping as well?

"Yes. Free shipping via USPS Airmail, or $15.00 for shipping via USPS Priority Mail which is recommended and trackable."   Sent a mail to Alessandro. Is it recommendable to get priority mail?

but i would paying double. which cost $150. it's way over my budget.   i think the second hand one is good for $65. if there's any problems with it.. well i have 3 weeks personal warranty.. so i hope nothing happens.

Are you sure it's free shipping? The headphone shop here is selling it at RM470+ which is about $150.   And the guy is selling the Alessandro MS1 for RM200 which is about.. $65 with 3 weeks personal warranty. Go for it?

What's the difference between Alessandro MS1 and MS1i? Yeah I'm actually leaning towards ms1. I'm not planning to get an amp though, will it drive itself well enough? Now he's offering $65 for just the headphones, $80 for bowl pad and... casing.

I'm not from the us. So ms1i cost $150. So yes.  

I've came to a decision that I'll buy either the SR60i or Alessandro MS1. Though, there are two sellers.   A week old SR60i for $80   or   A 2 and a half year old MS1 for $80   I will get a week warranty for the sr60i Still discussing with the seller for the personal warranty...

Which is safer? Hairdryer from the sides or......... using the steam?

I'm looking to purchase used SR60i or Alessandro MS1. Both of which can use these modding methods and work just as well?

Let's say I provide the silver cable to a headphone shop. Do you think they can recable it for me? Or is DIY easier

Quote: Lol yea. I'm looking at second hand sr60 and hippo pearl. ANYWAY. enough of this.   can't wait for the change of cable. and maybe also the mod on sound leakage.  

So you reckon I should purchase the SR60i's and a cheap IEMs? Or should I just get a good IEM and forget about Grados.

Yea I agree, but the thing is I wanna bring it around uni and maybe use it while studying in the library. If I put it at middle volume with Grado SR60i and an iPhone as my source, will there be sound leakage?   Or maybe I should get a cheap IEM for those quiet environments.

Well the only problem is, I like to get lost in my music. So if I put it at low volume, external noises will be distracting,. What are the ways to reduce sound leakage? This is interesting. I'm thinking of getting a Grado SR60i or maybe Hippo Shroom or Pearl.   One really open and well...

Interesting. Will any of these mods prevent less noise from escaping? I like everything about the SR60i, only just that it's open headphones.. I can't use it in libraries.

Why not try PX 200 ii? I heard it's less bassy than the PX 100 ii. I've tried the PX 200 ii and it's really comfortable for an on ears phone.

Okay I've tried a few just now. The PX200-II is really great, comfortable, sq is good, and it's really portable. just that the price tag is out of my budget. So, I'm most probably gonna purchase the PX100 for my sister at RM290 which is around..$95? Is the price ok? Or should I get it from...

Quote: I've tried the iGrado, however, my sister where's spectacles once in a while. So wouldn't the iGrado be in the way? Do you think the Grado SR60i would be better?  

Apparently, it's highly recommended to get an amp to bring out the sound for HPs. That's why I might be considering IEMs. Going to the HP store tomorrow to check some out.

Hm, so I'm considering iGrado, PX200 II for my sister.. How about Maxell DHP-11? For me, m50, sr60i, Alessandro MS1, Goldring 150, Koss UR55 or maybe one of the hippo iem.   If there's any problems you know about these headphones. Please do tell me, i'll drop them out of the list. Thanks

Hmm, the Koss ur55 seems interesting. I'm in your position as well OP, well, a lot of people are in our position when it comes to buying headphones.   Though I can't seem to find a review/impression on Koss UR55 in headfi..

I have the Denon AH-D501. It's alright, it gets pretty warm after hours of listening.. I don't know how to say it.. but.. when i play alternatives/rock songs, the guitar sounds really high pitched.. pretty piercing in my opinion.. the bass is alright, the isolation is average..

Bumps :D
