I had this argument a while back with a friend of mine, when he claimed that Bellamy was better than Yorke. At the time I was adamantly opposed to the claim, and still am, but with a few caveats. I think it's indisputable (my friend would dispute it) that Bellamy's modal voice, that is, not...

So I've decided to purchase the MS-1s from a local online store (headphones.com.au, should support local business, plus cheaper to return if there's an issue) but I remembered that the MS-1s come with regular comfy pads and not bowl pads. So my question is whether I should shell out the...

Haven't bought from them but I'm sure they're trustworthy. From what I can see their prices are similar to Headphonic (headphones.com.au), which is uber-respected. EDIT: Actually it depends. Sennheiser stuff seems to be similarly priced but Headphonic is significantly cheaper for Etymotic...

What we need is someone impartial and rich with good ears to purchase each Alessandro and Grado product and compare them, like Skylab just did with the HD600s. Other than extracting the information from Grado himself that's the only way we'll know. Edit: Just looked at the Alessandro and...

I'm buying the new MS-1s direct from the Alessandro website, $110 USD ~ 78 Euro, free shipping. EDIT: Ok not quite under 70 Euros but probably worth the extra 8 EUR from all that I've read.

Hi all, I'm in the market for a pair of headphones at the AUD$150 USD$100 dollar pricepoint. I've been looking at headphones reviews and recommendations all weekend and I've basically narrowed it down to the Grado SR80i and the Alessandro MS1. Now, at first I was just going to get the...
