A great review, liked your analogy!

Nice review.
I love my PS-1000
As I see it, the only problem is the comfort. STUPID design to say the least.
I had to sew on a small wool pillow on them, they gave me a small bald spot on my head! (really)
Now they're extremly comfy though.... but looks stupid on
Sound is best I've heard. I've become very sensitive to bad sound after buying these.

Thanks for the kind comments you two ~ great sound indeed ~ they really do just get better and better.

Bravo! Great review! To me the PS1000 is a niche product that very few will understand and enjoi

Thank you for diving into the subject of the PS1000, I was looking for a serious, recent review about it.

Hats off to you for an objective non biased review,we don't see too many of those,as peoples tend to become fanboys of they're favorite brands,i happend to like Grado headphones,an altough i loved the PS-1000,for the same money,i'd get some GS-1000 and PS-500,and have the ''best'' of both worlds

I believe it is the amp pairing,
you can't just plug ps-1000 to any amp and expect it to sound good.
but it does sound great with the V200 amp.
