Wow, you didn't give yourself enough credit, Milkpowder, those shots were great. The way you matched the wood from the headphones with a violin (or viola, couldn't tell) was very classy, and the colors contrasted well. Keep up the photography.

Thanks! It was really a bit of luck since my camera has no manual settings apart from very basic exposure (not aperture) and shutter speed control. I had to play around with the four shutter settings, exposure to get the colours OK.

When compared to MS-Pro it sounds smoother and in long listening it's less fatiguing than MS-Pro. It also has more bass than MS-Pro which in some cases is good thing and in some cases bad. MS-Pro is further away from HD650 sound signature than RS-2 making MS-Pro + HD650 even better complementary pair than RS-2 + HD650. MS-Pro brings out all the little details on recording. RS-2 is good at this also but MS-Pro is better. MS-Pro has more sparkle in the high end. It also has overall slightly brighter sound and slightly wider soundstage. I'd also say that MS-Pro has more upfront sound. The difference is similar when going from HF-1 to RS-2 and when going from RS-2 to MS-Pro. It's not as clear between RS-2 and MS-Pro but very similar. Overall I'd say that RS-2 has mellower, smoother and slightly heavier sound when MS-Pro brings some excitement, sparkle and more details in the sound. They're both awesome headphones.

Thanks for the impressions. Some day, I'll get a chance to compare them, hopefully in the comfort of my own home. Do you find the RS-2 bright at all?


I'm literally dying... slept for 1 hour last night over some revision. Exam today went OK at best. Some pretty difficult stuff which I was pretty clueless about. One down, two more to go. Better work harder!

No I don't think they're bright at all. MS-Pro has clearly brighter sound (or then they need just more burn in).

I might attribute the brightness I'm experiencing to my poor system.
