I will pass on buying the amp. I thought it would give me a little tighter bass and more volume.   thanks for the help!

Is it because I don't need an amp for these or the E6 is just not good enough?

Would I benefit a lot from this amp? I use these headphones on my laptop (Sony Vaio) and iPhone 4. I do find the output on my laptop a bit low, but they still sound great. I keep hearing an amp makes headphones sound a lot better...   SPECS :   Transducer type Dynamic neodymium...

Woohoo! I just got mine and I think I'm in love. They're fantastic! :P

Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate your time. I don't have my MS-1s yet (should be here any day now), but I just read on these forums that you needed an amp to bring the most out of them. I figured I would start my research right away, but after reading the replies I think it would be best...

I don't want anything overkill, just a budget amp that would bring out their full potential. Thanks!

What kind of cosmetic issues?

supermoo, let me know when you get yours ok? I'll do the same.

What do you guys think about the built quality of these?

Nice, it was processed on the 11th Lets hope I get them before Friday next week!

sweet, thanks. I just ordered some.

Do they fit the Alessandro ms-1 perfectly without any mods?

just ordered the MS-1 w/ Mini-plug! CAN'T WAIT!!

just ordered the Music Series One w/ Mini-plug! CAN'T WAIT!!

are the regular ones 1/4", meaning the big plugs that don't go in i pods?

NOTE: Models listed "w/ mini-plug" come with a small 1/8" plug plus the adaptor to convert to full size 1/4".... Which one should I get? Will they have the same SQ?

Would it be the best choice in that price range?

I guess I made the mistake of buying the SONYs to simply enjoy my music. I bought them because I read reviews raving about how they where incredibly good sounding and neutral, so that it actually sounds exactly like the artist intended it to be heard. I find the bass to be a but loose on them...

I currently own some SONY mdr-7506, but I would like to upgrade. I thought they sounded amazing at first, but now I keep hearing about these Alessandro MS-1 and I am wondering if it would be worth the upgrade. Are they better than my current SONYs? I don't hear from my SONYs in the forums...
