alessandro-ms1i

I know there are a lot of threads comparing MS1i and SR80i already, but my brief search yielded no answer out of my perspective; whichever is best for the more extreme metal genres? I mainly listen to death, folk, thrash, black and all the inbetweens. I will most likely also use my headphones...

Hello,   I dont know which are better for me.   I like to listen to techno, dubstep, house, etc. but i also like to listen to choral pieces (ex. Eric Whitacre and some acapella groups (ex. BYU Vocal Point, Straight No Chaser). I like to use them at home and maybe travel around with them...

I'm not suspecting I've been sold outright fakes because the sound quality is still actually good in itself, but I used to own a pair of HD650, and the pair I've bought (2nd hand) now are much brighter - I think on the bright side of neutral. The bass is less, the treble is more and the midrange...

I'm planning on buying the beyerdynamic DT770's 80 ohm and I just don't know which of these amps to get. I read many reviews on all of them, and they all get good result. Because of that I can't decide which one to get. I need one that's powerful enough to power my DT770's and that doesn't cost...

After putting it off, I finally want to try some Grados. First and most importantly, which pads are the most comfortable and which sound the best? Also would you prefer the SR-80is or MS1is?

Half a year ago i bought the alessandro ms1i , i love the sound and i'm quite happy with it but i don't think they're very comfortable , i would like to get some other headphones with a similar sound over the ear but more comfortable. I tried out out the sennheiser hd598 but hated the sound ...

Well i just bought myself some MS 1i cans and after being super impressed with them, i noticed that the right channel seemed to not be sounding quite as clear and as powerful as the left. So i flipped the headphones and everything seemed fine, but as soon as i put them back on the right way...

Hi guys, First of all, i know that the Grados are very easy to sing but i have a crap sound card on my notebook. It's is a Realtek HD ALC270. It's the model that is bad because on my desktop which have a Realtek HD ALC889A the MS1 sounds good. And my MS1 doesn't sound good on this setup. I...

Hello, So I've decided to go for the grado signature sound, and narrowed my search to those three cans {Grado SR80i, SR125i, Alessandro MS1i}. Thing is theres no way for me to test them and see which one i like the most so in order not to buy a cat in the bag, i ask your help dear internets...

I'm in the market, like so many others, for budget head/ear/IEMs. Based on what I've read here, I'm split between the Pk3's, pl30's, and brainwavez's proalpha and m1's. Meeelectronics m6 are also an option, but I dont like the over the ear feature, so maybe m9's instead. I'm curious to know if...

Ive had my 595s for over a year now, and Im awaiting a pair of 598s in the mail But I have a little spare, enough for the sr225i's. I'm thinking I want to try something with a different sound to the sennheisers, and from the posts on this forum it seems like that would be the way to go, your...

I am finally able to bring you my review of the Mi-1 custom in-ear monitor made by Minerva Hearing Protection. The Mi-1 is Minerva's entry-level single balanced armature custom in-ear monitor made of silicone.   Manufacturers product page...

Hey, everyone,   It was near the end of 2009 that, after some search and with the help of some people here, I got my first pair of decent headphones - Alessandro's MS1i. I liked them and I still do; they're great, especially for funk, groovy stuff and rock.   I am now thinking about...

Improved in what, exactly? Has anybody tried both these and the previous version? Are these worth 10$ more? Care to comment? Thanks!

If you guys remember my first thread, I did end up buying the Grado SR225i. The Grado SR225i is nearly perfect for me; I cannot get enough of the mids and the highs from them. The bass is lacking though.    The reason I am looking for open-back headphones with plenty of bass is because I...

i'm not an audiophile pro  so i can't explain what i'm looking for in the exact technical terms, but i'll try.   I really love the Alessandro Ms1i performance, but i want headphones with more detail now. The Ms1is have great bass and acoustics, but i find that the vocals (mids?) are a bit...

So I got my MS1i's three days ago and did the quarter mod. Everything was perfect, the MS1i's really bring out my mids and highs out tremendously. I was craving for more bass to balance the already spectacular high and mids so I did the punch hole mod. Even after carefully reading the MS1000...

I am in the process of getting down to modding a set.  I own MS1i's, and have Grado sr60i's incoming.  I want to go to work on the Grado's first.   I would like to diy up a set of woodies - I have seen the giant threads about the results, but have not seen anything documenting how, or what...

If you do not know who Bilavideo is then you have not modded your Grado/Alessandro, or have not modified it to the extent that he does. Today I received in the mail some distancer's and cups! This is practically a DIY BilaMod project that converts MS1's into MS1000's Bill's way.   The...

I thought this was weird, but last night when I checked amazon for the v6's it listed as only 10 left in stock and when I went on in the morning to order a set they were all sold out! I thought that was weird. I didn't think the v6's still sold that well, boy was I wrong.

Hello I live in Canada and I am looking to get my first pair of DJ style headphones. I will be using these at home with my Computer I have a x-fi forte as my sound card so it has an amp.  I will also be using it with my Creative zen vision M mp3 player.  I am not looking for ear buds but ones...

OK, this may be a futile exercise, but hopefully we can tidy this forum up and reduce the daily replication of threads that ask the same questions.   If you're new to Head-Fi and are seeking advice, hopefully this thread will assist you in making an informed decision.   Head-Fiers are...

Long time reader (1 year +) first time poster. I did quite a lot of research on this subject but I came out with no clear answer. People says srh840 blow m50 and 440 out of the water. Some people says that if you are not using any amp 440 is the more logical choice. However alot of reviews...

Hello Head-Fi'ers,   Most of my listening i do at the office. And i wan looking for some cans i can use there. The office is not a cubicle, more a open room with 8 desks in it. They have a radio playing quietly, but after Monday i cannot stand radio 3FM anymore for the rest of the week...

While I wait for my incoming ms-1i, back in the day, headfiers were pretty happy with the TTVJ flats. There were lots of Grado mods, but those were very popular more or less across the board for stock Grado/Alessandros. Times have changed though, maybe having something to do with the i updates...
