Hi guys, right now I have some Alessandro MS2i's and I have really enjoyed them... with flat pads. With the bowls they were way way waaaay too bright/sibilant. Unfortunately the cable is falling apart, so I need to get the cable replaced. I figured I might as well get a new pair of...

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I will definately look at buying an amp as soon as possible! Any more feedback on recommended amps would be appreciated too! kramer5150, no I haven't heard any more Grados, and while I enjoy the presentation of my MS2i's after the flat pads, I am always open...

Hi everyone, I bought the Alessandro MS2i's right when they came out about two years ago I believe. I have really enjoyed them, but they way too bright for my tastes with the stock bowl pads. I bought the flat pads from Todd and it was a absolutely huge improvement in my opinion. I have to...

I just got my Alessandro MS-2s a week or so ago. (I have the new version) I have to agree with RnB's assessment. When I got these headphones they seemed a little too bright. Specifically, the "s" in voices was very strong. It was not natural at all, and quite annoying to be honest. I had to...

Well a month after I ordered them, my Alessandro MS-2s came in on Monday. (And I wasn't home, so I ended up getting them on Tuesday instead! Doh.) It seems to me, they will send out your order, and you WILL get the headphones, but don't expect any information on if they are backordered or...

Don't feel bad guys, even if it were true and you did order them, don't ever expect to get anything from them. One month since I ordered and 2 emails later and I haven't heard a thing.

Wow, this puts me in an interesting position. I ordered MS-2s about a month ago, but I never got them and was never charged. To top this off, I think I accidently deleted my conformation e-mail... so I have no clue if they are just taking their sweet time to send them to me, or if they never got...

I ordered my MS-2s a couple weeks ago now, and apart from the automated email, I have heard nothing since. Not to mention I e-mailed them a day before I ordered and received no reply. Not impressed so far at all.

I was looking on their website and I couldn't find any mention of a return policy. Does anyone know if they have one? I just bought the Sennheiser HD650s and I want to compare the MS-2 with them and keep the "winner" I've been reading about how the Sennheisers suck without an amp, etc. I...

What's the differences between the Alessandro and Grado headphones? I hear the MS-1 is compared to like the SR-80... but are there any real differences between the two? Is the MS-2 better than the SR-225 or SR-325? Thanks in advance

I plan on going with this same setup so I am curious as well... only difference is I have a EMU 1212m soundcard.... the amp I was looking at right now was the Headsave Classic for like 120.... something in the 200-300 range would be ideal for me, 400 is too much.... sigh so many choices!

How are the HD-650s for rock? They are only 50 bucks over his limit, maybe they would be worth it?

Thanks for the responses guys, I will have to try them out. I have a new question now though... I got it all working -- finally... but the issue I am seeing now is.. I really have no volume control! The only way to adjust the volume is through the software, and that kind of scares me. I have had...

Hey everyone, I just recently bought the e-mu 1212m, and I want to try it with my stereo system. Here's the thing. I can't figure out a way to connect a sub! Is there a way to do this? Right now my plan is to connect the 1212m to my receiver (which lacks a lfe connector)..... am I missing...

Whats everyones opinion on the AT A900 as a rock/metal headphone?

How are the highs on this headphone? I am looking for the same type of sonic signature as the v6, which is supposidely on the bright side but with deep lows as well.

I have the V6s right now and I really like them. I might be crazy, but I do not find them too bright at all. In fact, I think they are almost perfect in that regard. And I even listen to a lot of "heavy" music which is often refered to being bright on its own. But I also own Klipsch speakers...

Thanks guys, I guess I will have to check out the Grados more closely I am surprised no one mentioned the 770 Pro, after reading about its characterisitics. Any thought on this?

Quote: Originally posted by redshifter a dedicated headphone amp is more about the quality of the amplification, not the quantity. if your panny pcdp has a line out, you could always run a cha47 from that. ditto for your soundcard. i recently asked the experts here the best headphones for...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies, of course I knew I would forget something important! Doh!! Basically, I am running my V6's on my headphone jack on my Klipsch 4.1 speakers on my computer. This is where I plan on running these new headphones as well. I also have a portable CD player, but I...

Hey there, I love MP3s, and I am going to have to say that Audiograbber MP3s at 128 are very poor quality. That is a definate problem I think! I recommend checking out a place like http://www.audio-illumination.org/fo...php?act=portal In a nutshell, basically, for "archive" quality MP3s...
