Unfortunately you have to sacrifice comfort for sound quality in this case, because they hurt your ear tips after extended listening sessions. I think it's worth it though.

The MS-1 does have a sound signature that is very close to the SR-225. The latter has a little bit more extension in the highs, the differences in the bass are even smaller. For USD 99 the MS-1 is a steal.

Hm this website is dodgy. They need the 3 digit verification code (understandable), and want me to use an email to send it? Doesn't sound very secure. The order form doesn't even have a space for this code.

Has anybody done this?

Great now I am confused on getting the sr-60's or the ms-1's.

 

[sailboat]

you won't be disappointed with either.

Love the MS-1 have had it for a little while now, couldn't be happier, the only thing is I start thinking "if they are this good than the MS-2 must be even better", must..........fight...........urge to upgrade

Hope I'm not thread-jacking here, but I suppose the answer to this question could be beneficial to the OP and others considering some MS1s:

How do these 'phones compare to other Grados, specifically, SR-60s, and SR-250s. I'm really interested in hearing that famous Grado house sound, I'm just not sure which can I want.

Thanks in advance and, again, I hope I'm not jacking this thread.

EDIT: I just found the following thread to answer my own question:

I think the MS1 is definitely worth buying, especially if you live outside the U.S.A. Out of the comfies/414 pads/TTVJ flat pads I tried I liked the flat pads the most since they give a clearer sound with a less muddy bass. Though I wonder how the flats compare to a reverse modded 414 pad, I guess it's pretty similar?

are the MS-1's better than the grado sr-80's or the grado sr-125's?
