i prefer the ms1 to the sr60 as well.

So cutting the comfy pads center will help overall sq? I think ms1's are a little bit bassy with comfies.

 

[lordmozilla]

SR80's are pretty bassy I find, but they have quite a lot of highs (more than bass), and lack abit of midrange. Makes them terrible for movies and games but for music I really like them, even for rap/hip hop although they shine in rock. and the DT770 are too good in rap to consider wearing the grados...

As soon as I put a film on the HD595 or DT770 come on. (DT's come on when it's noisy outside)

SR-80 is for rock than MS-1

SR-80 is too much bass than MS-1

and it sound is aggressive

but MS-1 is neutral and sweet

I like MS-1+Bowl pads

You should Try it ~

MS-1s are great for metal, I had the hd414 reversed with the quarter mod. I like the hd414s more than the stock pads and the quarter mod really boosts clarity, but it raises the high end a little too much for my taste.

Just one more thing. the Ms-1 has the same connector as the sr-80 right? or does that really even make a difference over the sr60.

 

[oicdn]

The differences between the SR80 and SR60 is the SR80 has bowls, and uses 4 wires(? on amount). Driver the same? I dunno...consensus is that it's the same...

 

[Munky]

yes, its 4 wires. but im wondering how many the MS-1 uses?

I'm mostly just curious

You can refer to this thread I made last summer when I was making this very same decision. A lot of helpful posts in it

[Munky]

great, thanks. I searched before but this didnt come up.

 

[Zigosity]

I'm in Canada, and I picked up my SR-80s for under 80$ on ebay. Probably the best way of getting them up here.

Ok ******* it, now i cant decide again. Before i was settled on the ms-1. But I want the impact of the sr-80 for gaming, but not the highs. So the ms-1 would probibly better suit my musical taste (Rock, Folk, Indie stuff)

Guess I'll just get whichever is easiest and if i don't like sell it and get the other.

I would pick MS-1 over SR-80, I think MS-1 offers a more balanced presentation in general

 

[jet87]

I went for the MS-1s because they are supposed to be better balanced than the SR-60/80. I found the MS-1 to be fatiguing, but it seems that many people don't. For over a year the MS-1 was my primary (well, only) headphone and I liked it. I still listen to them occasionally.

 

[justthinking]

I guess the reason you find the MS-1 fatiguing could be because of the flat sound stage.
However, same would hold true for SR80, even SR125...
