Well, since you mentioned the RS1.. using the ipod as source I preffered the MS1 to RS1 :O With a good CDP I really don't.

Eastsound E5->WNA MKII-> RS-1 Sounds great, with crystal clear sound... but could use a touch of warmth

1) Sennheiser HD600 2) Grado RS1 3) Sennheiser HD25 4) Ety ER6i 5) Sennheiser mx550

I have tinnitus, and the IEMs seem to aggrivate it more than ordinary phones. Why? I don't know, but I keep my volume low, so that is not it.

If I were you, I'd stick with what I had..... but that is no fun is it

I've only heard them briefly and that was before I owned any good headphones. The only thing I remember was the very harsh treble But then again that could just as easily have been the surrounding equipment. edit: what a useless post i just posted..

I have not heard the KCS75, but I thought my ER6i definately sounded better than the portapros, although with the portapros you get much more "bang for the buck". If you've got enough money, buying a used HD-25 is a very good choise. I received mine yesterday.... and it's good

I'd also say MS1. An amazing phone for the price!

I have one of these in my front right pocket: Very convinient!

I don't find the MS1 bright at all. Out of the setup I had back when I owned it I even thought the HD600 was brighter

If it ain't broke, don't fix it..

imho a cheap soundcard (like the m-audios) won't get you anywhere near the full potential of the senns..

Any pictures of someone WEARING the k-81dj? That would be nice I'm a little worried about wearing these in public...

I miss my MS1 sometimes..... even though I got the RS1 to comfort me

Well, I think RS-1 + bowls is a tad too bright. Well, maybe that's because I have a source on the bright side of neutral and a fast amp with a LM6171 stuck in it. If we are going to do this senn vs. grado thing again, I absolutely think the senns have a more realistic treble. I listen a little...

The RS1+WNAMKII sounds very nice indeed But if you have a bright source and uses bowls with the grados the combo will be a tad lean. With my source (an eastsound), I'm missing a little body to the tone.

I do salsa 3-4 times a week Tried to pick up some popping stuff as well, but that stuff is hard... weeks of practice and all I've got is not so good arm waves and sideglides, and awful hits (the "pop" in popping)...

I have the ipod set so I just can't hear my tinnitus... with the ER6is that is about 30% of the volume slider

Where is zero in the poll? Seriously I don't own a vacuum cleaner...

Just one.. and I'll probably keep it that way... WNA MKII
