I felt like the soundstage on the Momentum was closed in and congested compared to the 1R. The Momentums were comfortable to me but the 1R was even more comfortable. The Momentum did sound more detailed. If you are interested in soundstage the akg k545 might be a good option for you. The k545...

Lukalop, you should check this thread out. http://www.head-fi.org/a/describing-sound-a-glossary It explains most of the audiophile terminology that you will hear in reviews. And hip hop generally sounds better on headphones with more bass, so the k545 will probably be a better choice for you...

I'll have to visit best buy then! Thanks for the heads up!

I think that the mdr 7520 is a little bit out of my price range. I would have to sell my 1r used. I really interested in the k545 because I can get it for 200 and I can probably get at least 170 out of my 1r. And it isn't just the bass that bothers me, I really want a bigger soundstage. I am...

Thanks for the reply! Does the k545 have more/less treble than the 1r? And which one is more detailed in the treble?

I recently bought the 1r but the but the bass just feels too loose. I had considered getting the k550 before, but had decided against it because of the treble problem and the long non-detachable cord. Now that I saw the k545 i am having second thoughts. Is the bass on the k545 a lot tighter than...

Mine had the rattle right out of the box and I got them about a month ago. I am sure that it will be taken care of on the mdr 1rmk2. Speaking of which, is that out yet?

Hey you guys, I figured out a new solution to the jack rattle problem. This solution doesn't leave something weird on the end of your cord or fall off from disconnecting the cable. It is not visible when the cable is plugged in. I now have zero rattle coming from the jack! If you look at the...

My Sony 1r arrived today! I am super happy with them! The sound really good, most noticeably much better bass impact and depth than my grados. They also sound more detailed. My Grados still sound slightly more natural but it isn't a super big deal. The 1r is a closed phone after all. I am very...

Has anyone had a listen to any of Grain Audio's products yet? I very curious about all of them.

I think I do like that :)

I actually think that I might go for the sony mdr 1r. I don't think that the esw9 will be able some of the faster stuff that I listen to. I tried the hd 25 1 awhile ago and it did not make a good impression on me. It sounded kind of lifeless compared to my sr80is. Maybe they weren't burned in...

I have tried the hd 25 1 and thought it sounded cold and unmusical. I think that I will probably get the ath esw9.

The ultrasones look really good but I can't find any under 250$ and that is when they are used. :mad:

Do you think that I would notice a big difference in detail coming from my sr80s?

How is the detail on you k550?

So I have had my sr80's for about one year and I have absolutely loved them. The problem is I need something closed back and at least semi portable (over or on ear I have no preference). My budget is about 200$. I would be driving them off of my iPod touch 5g. I listen to everything from black...

I had been looking at the mdr 1r but saw a review that said that the mdr 10r might actually better. Since the 10r is 100$ cheaper than the 1r I am very excited to see what the 10r will be like. I like the design much better. I will probably await some more reviews before purchasing one though...

I was already going to go to guitar center next week to look at a guitar. I'll I have to check out the headphones while I'm there. I have seen some pretty good cans there.

I had also looked at the sony mdr 1r and so far I don't really see a reason not to buy it other than the fact that the mdr 10r is coming out this October but there isn't a whole lot of info on it yet. Both models have detachable cables which is super nice. If anyone has any insight on which...

I think I might want these :D

Bump

The design looks like a Grado steroids

I looked at the ath-a900x and I don't think they will work, I need a pair of headphones that is at least semi portable. The k550s are big but they fold flat and have a sturdy build. I might want to take them out and about every once in awhile. Also I should add that I can get the akg k550's for 180$
