    Any other pad options for MS1 besides 414 and Grado pads?

    Ive spent the last few days really concentrating on getting best sound,most comfortable fit for my MS1.Started with reverse 414 and then reverse comfies and found both not as comfortable and a bit dull in sound compared to non-reversed comfies and 414 with whole driver mod in place.The sound...

    Love my MS1 but with little hair on my head to cushion the headband it can be a little rough on scalp.Im not looking to replace the band but just to add some cushion to it.Im sure someone has modded the band but I cant seem to find it except to change the whole band which is too expensive and...

    I tried to get a response in the MS1 appreciation thread but no luck.Has anyone out there reverse modded their comfie for use with ms1 or sr60?Seems like a great idea and the back of comfie is pretty soft compared to front but what does that do to sound?If you do a mod like this you will make...

    Prairie Home Companion headphone puzzle

    Watched this dvd last night and noticed the piano player and bass player in the house band that is onstage playing throughout the film both had what I think are Sennheiser hd414 headphones.Cant miss those yellow pads and I doubt if they are Grado mods.Any other phones with those distinctive...

    Any benefits to using ms1 with PA2V2 amp?

    I have the PA2V2 amp and it works really well with my ksc-75 phones adding more depth and soundstage.Im about to buy an ms1 and wondered in what way this amp would add or subtract from the ms1 sound quality?

    Buying an ms1-Should I get a pair of 414 pads?

    Decided to go with ms1 rather than igrado or sr60 since I dont like harsh treble of sr60.What are benfits of 414 pad and if I quarter mod them do they bring out the treble which could lead to harshness? Thanks

    Does igrado sound like an ms1?

    Because of all the talk of the reduced treble on the igrado i wondered if the igrado sound signature is more like the ms1 that many say has a tamer treble than sr60?I found the sr60 treble too harsh and am thinking of getting an igrado.

    What sq benefit do you get from 414 pad and sr60?

    Reading a lot about igrado and its need for a quarter mod.What would you gain in actual sound quality changes using the 414 pads and quarter mod on the sr60?I had a pair last year and found them too bright and felt if i quarter modded them and used a 414 pad it would make them even more harsh.I...

    igrado and amplification.

    Just wondered if anyone has tried this phone with a PA2V2 or other small headphone amps?It made a big difference with my ksc-75 so perhaps it will brighten things up for the igrado.I realize its not the ideal situation to lug an amp around with portable phones but for kicking back to listen at...

    After a bad experience with Phillips streetphones I cant really understand who would favor this design.The hs820 sounds good(Mids a bit recessed but good bass and treble)but the design killed it for me.That band that runs around the back of your head drove me crazy.If your shirt collar hits it...

    Hype over on the phillips hs820?

    Recent post seemed to place the hs820 street phone close to ksc75 as excellent choice for portable wear.Price is excellent but have heard no more on this phone hear.Was it all just hype and are those amazon reviews just more of the usual overly positive amazon feedback?
