I cannot believe the amount of wrong information about the MS1i's here !!
The MS1i's are not based on the SR125i, they are based on the SR80i. They have the same thinner cable as the SR80i and not the beefier cable that the SR125i has. And the MS1i's do not have the same driver as the SR125i. The SR125i does have the same driver as the SR225i.
As far as sound quality, I find the MS1i's do not sound good at all. They do not have the bass that the SR80i's, SR125i's, SR225i's, etc, have. The MS1i's sound like the SR60i's to me. No bass. Thin and unsubstantial sounding. Unauthoritative. The MS1i's have the same/similar mids and highs that the SR80i's do, not as refined as the SR125i's. But no bass. I don't understand anyone who would prefer the MS1i's to either the SR80i or the SR125i if you actually can listen to each model back to back.
So now you would naturally think that I am biased again Alessandro headphones. Nope, my daily listening pair are the MS2i's. The SR325i's are too bright, but I find the MS2i's to be a further nice improvement over the SR225i's. A little bit better bass, and little bit better treble, but not shrill and overpowering like I think the SR325i's are.
My MS1i's has plenty of bass with comfies and bowls (I prefer taped bowls signature althought).
