Ok.. Having read back on some of the comments on this thread, I realise now that apparently the sound signature with wireless equipment can be changed in the unit, but only in Bluetooth RECEIVER mode? Apologies if this is true. I read it wrong and was lead to believe that adjustments could be...

I've just purchased a Sony NW-A55 from Accessory Jack. I still own the A35 bought a couple of years ago from the same company, so can compare both side by side. First of all, thank you to Accessory Jack. Delivery was quick and with no extra duty to pay. No volume limits like the EU models...

It was an official notice that I read at Royal Mail whilst waiting in the queue for a parcel I'd come to collect. I was told by an employee that any duty owing is paid to Royal Mail who then send it to HM Customs and Excise. The new £8.00 Royal Mail handling charge is a totally seperate charge...

Be prepared to pay import duty (around £13.50) and also the new £8 handling charge that Royal Mail introduced on April 1st 2007 for imported goods.

How do I get one?! Will he post to the UK?

Great sounding cans, but the extra weight was the only reason I sent mine back. They kept slipping off my ears (even after bending the headband) and I was always aware of them on my head. Allesandro give you a week to try them before returning. Great company to deal with. I also have a pair of...

Thanks for your help Vorlon 1. All sorted now.

mmm...I've just had a look at the back of the integrated amp. There are the speaker terminals and the following red/white phono socket groups: Pre out Tape In Rec out 1 Rec out 2 AV/MD DVD Tuner DAB CD Aux/Phono On the back of the Headphone amp are the power supply socket and the...

Well, I've been putting it on and off for ages. I've been in and out of the forums reading up on amps and wondering if I REALLY needed one. I mean, my Grado RS2's sound great out of my integrated amplifier, but then again I'm lead to believe the headphone sockets from integrated amps are...

Glad your're enjoying them straight out the box as much as I am Pete7....Is that really the burn in times for these cans?

Just listening to my new RS2's now( Thin Lizzy, Live and Dangerous) I'm comparing tracks that I thought,at the time, were teeth grindingly bright and my god they sound brilliant...Cymbals just sound so real now you feel you are there. Definatly no sssssssss on this album now! The instruments...

I'm sorry mate...The same happened to me My upgraditis is definately laid to rest now though..I love the RS2's

Having heard and owned (and even returned some of these headphones) these are my own opinions which I hope will help you. RS2 V 225 ******** Very similar sound. However, the RS2's treble is definately smoother and less sibilent than the 225's which is what I was after. Also a touch more...

I'm really confused... I too use my Grado's through an integrated hifi amp (Cambridge Audio 640A with a the 640C CD Player) to listen to my music. I've heard and read about dedicated headphone amps but have never had an interest in them until recently. Am I missing out on better sound by not...

You are lucky enough to audition two pairs and choose the best. Unfortunately I'm relying on reviews from you guys, as Grados/Alessandros are hard to audition in the UK without buying first. Basically if you choose and don't like then it's tough luck with some online UK stores. I've purchased my...

I think your 're both right. A polite email won't hurt. Did you get 3 different types with yours?

Thanks for your reply. I wouldn't be too sure about them being gratis here in the rip off UK. A SINGLE pair of replacement silicone pieces costs £12 here!!! That's about $20 to you in the US. I've already ordered a headphone set before I realised. If it is true I may have to post a wanted ad or...

Do these now only come with TWO types of earpieces? ( foam and clear plastic) I'm sure they also used to come with the softer Black silicon ones too in all sizes. These were the only type that gave a good seal for me. Have Shure been costcutting or am I imagining things and losing it? Anyone...

Todds Flats make a HUGE difference to the bass. My MS1's were transformed after swapping the comfies for them. Deeper bass,and the highs were tamed and a little less shrill. A totally new and better can. Expensive but recommended. I still craved a touch more detail though in the mids and highs...

Great reading Blackmore I've just ordered mine from Todd. Hoping they are a worthy upgrade from the MS1's I have at present. (Tried the MS2 but too heavy and uncomfy for me...nice sound though) An upgrade to the 225's my only choice in the Alessandro/Grado lineup for weight/comfort without...

Well, I've been up nearly all night like a saddo checking reviews and reading threads about the SR225. I eventually ordered them. If they are as light as the MS1's, stay on my head when I bend or move and have a touch more detail in the top end and a little more bass in the bottom then I'll be...

Well I'm in rip off Britain too, so I know where your 're coming from regarding prices. The MS1's were £58 delivered (customs missed me ) and MS2's £175 + £13 (customs got me) It was a lot of money extra for just a smidging more detail in the highs and a better,deeper bass. Thats why I'm...

Ian. Thanks for your reply. I did indeed try the MS'2's with comfies (from my MS1's) Bowls (provided with MS2's) and Todds Flatts (bought earlier in the year) They just wouldn't stay on my head if I moved. How does your SR225 compare with the MS1's? Are they clearer and more detailed? I must...

I have sadly, returned some MS2's back to Alessandro after only a couple of days. The sound compared to my Ms1's was a lot more detailed with better bass. However, they were SO uncomfortable for me. They were heavy and I was always aware of them on my head, unlike the MS1's. Everytime I moved my...
