do you guys use super glue or is there something almost as good but easier to take off.

Superglue would be close to irreplaceable. You can use tape, or bluetac as well

From my personal experience, woodies/wire mesh changes are mostly cosmetic. Some swear by that, and for me personally, I do notice slight changes in music (especially changing the entire cup, ala, deeper cups), it made the sound airier.
 
Some say mesh changes matter due to the +/- of airflow, but it could simply be placebo. 

I've had lots of customes who swore to have more of this and better that with their new woody, but, well...I personally don't hear a thing to be honest.

It was such a long time ago that I replaced the plastic mesh for some more airy metal one. I think it changed the sound a little but I am not sure after such a long time.

I do believe that one.  Reducing backpressure by increasing the rate of airflow behind the driver should improve SQ.

Hi all,
Just ordered a set of ms-1i's - didn't know this thread existed until had already ordered.
 
now i'm waiting very impatiently!
 
Cheers

We are talking about a 40mm headphone driver. There is not really backpressure and airflow and the sound itself isn't affected by a grid in that distance. Nickchen and I tested that carefully.
 
 
And generally, when 'audiophile' people change things on headphones, it is an improvement but rarest a deterioration. I experience that as a bit strange.

Really?  So you think Grado changing the mesh on their higher ends phones and stating they improved airflow behind the driver is just marketing BS then?  Now whether or not you are correct in this case I can't say for sure.  I do for a fact understand how airflow works and that the mesh grill will be more efficient and flow more CFM than that plastic backing.  By that fact alone I would need more convincing to keep the stock grill than to replace it for something better.  If that makes sense.

Grado uses metal-grids on their headphones much longer than these crappy plastic-grids. Of course it is marketing.
 
The point is, there is not enough airflow to make a difference which you can hear.
But of course I would change the grid. The Ms1 will look much better with another one.
