Hi all,
Well, since I joined Head-fi (just a few weeks ago), I have now in my home a MS1, SR60 and just today (thanks to Violante) another pair of HD280Pro which I'm going to present to my younger brother for his birthday (hopefully help him along to be an audiophile).
Well, in testing the HD280Pro today, I am shocked to find that HD280Pro seems to be resolving more details as compared to MS1s. Tell me it ISN'T so...because otherwise, I'll just have to keep those cans and buy my younger brother another pair! I love details in cans...
Seriously though, an example is the following recording:
il Giordino Armonico: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons,
Track 6 (Final Movement of the Summer Concerto)
With the HD280Pro, I could hear the ruffling of clothes, the players taking a breath, brining up their violins and then music...
With the MS1, I just could not hear anything until the music kicks in!
I'm not sure if this is because HD280Pro is a sealed can, thus, I can hear more details as there are less disturbances from outside noises while my MS1s are open and outside sounds covers any soft details..
Anyone else found this? Or maybe your experience was the opposite..
I would REALLY like to hear from you guys..
Cheers!
Head-fi Newbie....and my wallet has already gone on strike and my wife is just about to leave me because I'm paying more attention to my cans instead of her!...
