Oh the bass is great for me. The thing is that I was using my ms1's with comfies (the default ones) and the sound was great with those, but just for curiosity I bought the bowl pads. At first with the bowls the bass was a little weak, but with the tape mod that problem was fixed and the treble is more sparkle too

The pizza box just arrived and fresh from the box I can feel enough bass, tested with Classical, Rock, Hip Hop, Techno. I usually demand certain amount of bass (I listen to Hip Hop a lot) and was skeptical about MS1i because of Grado's tendency to be bright and bass hesitant. I was thinking to use MS1i exclusively for Rock. However, it does not sound harsh or extraordinarily bright at all! I mean, I was ready with Foo Fighters and was expecting a little more sting to my ears, but it was... warm! I wonder if it's just me or did they send me the wrong pair? :S How it was connected: Flac on Foobar --> Xiangsheng DAC01A --> Pioneer A201 Int amp --> MS1i Other cans I have: Portapro, ATH-ESW10, ATH-m40fs, Sony EX70 PS: I have a Portapro, I should be able to sense any lack of bass on other cans. |
