The only difference is the software and the camo look. Think I'd stick with the regular U7 since i mostly only listen to music, If it has an EQ  setting that is all I need.   I really like the U3, But the lack of volume control sucks :(.

Is the normal EQ option available for a pair of headphones?    Right now I have the U3 and I like it alot, But I'd like to have one that has a dedicated volume control that would control the whole system/windows volume.   Also, Is it worth upgrade from a U3 to a U7 sound quality wise? I am...

  I remember reading somewhere that if you purchase that headband part from Sennheiser it will not say made in Ireland on it.

  I emailed that guy about a custom length cable for my HD-25 and he won't even respond.

  That's great news because I am going to order one next month.    I am using the xonar U3 right now with them and it's pretty good. Just need an amp to get a cleaner signal with tighter bass and cleaner treble.    These are incredibly balanced headphones, For me they are the "Perfect"...

Did that PA2V2 help much with the high's?

I think I just fixed the problem. Seems the cable was routed on the wrong side, Which was pulling on the cable, I routed it on the other side of the headband and it doesn't pull anymore.   Should have been a QA thing but I don't think it will ever pop out again unless I pull on it.   "I...

  I repositioned the cable a few times but it slips our every now and then. Other people sometimes have the same problem.   I don't really expand it anyways unless I am wearing a hat. I will just make sure it goes back in the right spot next time so it won't pinch the cable.   Great tech...

Got the Sennheiser HD 25's a week ago. Best headphones I have used so far.   But there is a problem with the cable, When I expand the headband and close it again, The cable will always come out of place, And when I close it again it will snag on it. Seems to have damaged the cable already. And...

  The MS1 doesn't seem to work well with electronic music, At least not trance anyway.    I just have to get my hands on a set of HD25's and see for myself.    People were comparing the HD25 to the MS1...So I was a bit worried.

I currently have the Allasandro MS1 headphones, Great for Rock and Metal, But doesn't up too well with fast paste music like Electronic. It's a great open headphone with some nice botton-end. A good headphone for the price.   But what I don't like about them is the highs, Not very smooth at...

Does the amp come with any software at all?   Or is it basically plug it into the USB port and get a flat response.   I always like the option to have an EQ if I need one.

Quote:   Yeah, Think I'd rather get a tube amp and a DAC.   Nice little amp though!

So the only way to use the DAC+Tube on this is if you are using the Souncard via USB?   And not via the in's and out's?   I don't like the sounds of that...

Quote:   I only have two sources, And they are not that good.   First is an old CD Discman,  Sony D-465 1bit Dat.    The other is a USB soundcard for my laptop. The Asus Xonar...Which is actually pretty good for the price.   I will give a little review of that tube amp once I...

Quote:   That stuff looks great!   I actually just purchased this from a buddy of mine, He sold it to me for $20 as he doesn't use it. All I need to get is a 3.5mm cable. I don't think their are any reviews on the forums about this amp.   http://i35.tinypic.com/30bgtn7.jpg

Quote:   That's quite expensive for some foam, I may think about getting them.   I like these Grado's MS-1's so much I may do a lot of mods on them. Changing the headband & cable too.

Quote: Another great suggestion!   I am hoping an amp will really tame the high's on these Grado's. |'ve read many reviews that the high's are tamed...But I think not.

Quote:   What a great price for that thing...Just read a lot of positive things about it!   It may fit my Grado's quite well.

Has anyone tried this AMP/DAC with the Grado Alessandro MS-1?    Really interested in this little unit for desktop use.

I decided to purchase the Grado MS-1 after reading so much about it, I just had to try it out.   What I don't understand is, When people say "You don't need an amp to drive these". Well that is correct...You can plug them into anything and they WILL produce sound. But as everyone knows, To...
