We probably like different aspects of the hd600s sound. Who knows. Ex. The hd600 has sparkle and vibrancy that sr60 tries to approach while the ms1 is just plain dull to me. Using the flat pads for portable use, the ms1s treble are nonexistent while the sr60s highs just cuts through enough. Both have more midbass than the hd600s, only slightly brighter upper mids yet less highs than the hd600 using the flats. Using the comfy pads, I agree that the ms1s are a little better than the sr60 also with its stock comfies. Using bowl pads, the ms1s give more definition than using any other pad but shows its drier and chalkier highs than the sr60. The sr60 is more exciting using the bowl pads but still lack the hd600s top end extension and lose a lot of bass compared to the flat pads. In the end, for my portable usage where a little bloated bass wont hurt, the sr60s with flats win!

Received my pair of MS1s a couple of weeks ago and are my 2nd 'proper' pair of headphones after the DT770 that I picked up a while ago.

Sound wise they're great, but comfort with added bowl pads (which I bought separately) were just too uncomfortable over longer periods of time.

I'm using them now with yellow HD414 pads and comfort is much improved. I may mod these pads at some point but but for now are serving me well.

And that's where I thought my headphone lust would subside for a bit, but now I've ordered some Shure SE110's as they were going cheap - £25, but now I'm looking at a pair of Audio Technica ATH-ES7's for a more portable closed can. Decisions decisions.

1/8" is the miniplug that fits on most mp3 players/pcdps and portable headphone amps. 1/4" is the one that fits on most receivers, mixers, and stationary headphone amps

They're well worth the wait though!

As far as warranty, they use the same warranty as Grado. If there's a problem; just send them with a note explaining the problem right to Grado Labs for repair. They have a legendarily good service reputation.

An e-mail from Alessandro yesterday, in answer to a query, said my MS-1's shipped 6 days ago and would take "about" three weeks to arrive. They arrived this morning. Now blissfully listening to Gong and the Gazeuse album and even now starting to hear things in the music that have not been apparent before.

Eargasm.
