I sent Alessandro an email and it turns out that MS2s are vegan.

That wasn't even close to being funny.

I wasn't trying to be funny. I'm dead serious.

I've just put a WTB post for MS-2i so that I can see what all the rave is about. Hopefully I can find one soon. ooh...

Look up the sock mod, basically you roll up some socks on the grado bowls to improve comfort.

I haven't had any issues with the comfort levels of these phones. If anything, I wish my pair was a bit tighter. I can't even come close to headbanging without them falling off.

very good all around headphone. The weight of the aluminum on the head is annoying but more than made up by the sound and even the looks.

been enjoying ms2 for a week now. rock music on sr325i was great but ms2 takes it to another level for my ears. 5 minutes was all i needed to decide that these were the perfect cans for me, sound-quality-wise that is.
already tried the flats but they added unnecessary bass and killed the details. the comfort level was even worse than the stock pads. didn't like it. sold.
now, i'm waiting for the yellow senn pads.
anyway, i am loving ms2 so much, my dt990 is crying all alone on the wall.

Ah Yes! A Common Problem!

I found I had to re-train myself to do more violent foot stompin', and more importantly do my head boppin' side to side!

The nice thing about the headband though is that they can be tied in knots if we wanted to. It took me a few tries in bending them to get them just right!

these sound so good. i'm listening to everything again.

Using my computer as a source, USB output to a GoVibe Magnum USB DAC/AMP to the MS2.

Sounds considerably better than the sony/SE530 combination.

Here are photos of my ms2 in its personalized box. I ordered the box online (handmade in canada) for only about $65 including the engraving and shipping. Quite a deal if you ask me! The stock Grado pizza-box foam fit perfectly, without any modifications at all!

Also in the pic is a Cardas 6" cable and pa2v2. I wish I could afford a Ray Samuels amp, but I'm a college student! Either way it looks like I have to sell the setup to fund my new guitar! I wanna keep it, but you just cant have so many nice things at once.

If you want to Fix comfort Levels just get a DT770 headband from Beyerdynamic.

Hey, I've got a set of fatboys on the way to me right now. I've been reading around, and notice (on this thread) no one has appreciated the ms2 for...2 months now. Is there any truth to:

It is no coincidence that MS2s tend to get sold after half a year when the 1st raving has settled down. If you feel like getting something better after the MS1, you better get the MS Pro, that is the real stuff.

I know I'm going to enjoy them. Just I notice also some people who raved about them in the threads have now sold them...
