Also just wanted to add something RE the lettering; I read somewhere here that metallic silver paint pens don't work too well for restoring faded lettering because they don't stick. I went and bought one anyway, a silver Sharpie and it works a treat. Same colour (surprisingly almost identical) and sticks on just as well (if not better) than the original paint. I joked to my brother that Grado uses the same thing to paint their phones.

Could try reversing the bowls to make it more up-front sounding, and less shrill.

But I notice you've got an MS-1000 Xan, so I don't really know what it'll do.

my MS2i ( around 200 hours) has good bass..punchy. not bloated ..
@ xan.
maybe you need more time to let this baby burn.

IIRC it's got more kick than the MS-1 but it's definitely still not what I'd call powerful. Honestly I think that people who find the MS-1's bass to be 'acceptable' should enjoy the upgrade. Albums that's got a lot of good bass mastered into it like Massive Attack albums sound really good though. I've never really liked Massive Attack before on my HD25-1 but I'm listening to Protection now and I'm really digging it. Also flat pads might help. Wish I could try them but they're hard to come by and expensive (here on this side of the world anyways).

Hey so I'm considering getting some ms-2i's for home use and HD-25 on the go. What's the bass punch and extension like relative to each other?

Any comments on these two as a combo and relative qualities? Thanks
