* Edit - I just did another search and found a post that answers this question - so feel free to let this thread die a quick death. Sorry *
Has anyone listened to the Alessandro MS1s and can tell me what they think?
I'm looking for a not-too-expensive pair of open headphones to complement my Ety 4s - my favourite that I've auditioned so far are the Grado SR80s.
But I'm in Australia, and the Alessandro MS1s are actually cheaper because they include free airmail shipping for $99. If I got the Grados, I'd have to get them sent from an unauthorised dealer in the US, and they'd end up costing about $110. (Or I could pay $US200 to buy them locally. Yeah right).
I've heard both good and bad things about the MS1s - anyone care to weigh in with some opinions? Are they similar sounding to the SR80s? (I've heard them compared to the 125s but I couldn't find a pair to audition.)
Or of course if you've got any alternatives in that price range feel free to vent here...
