I just got some MS2is this week too. I love them. I think they sound better with bowls than the Senn 414 pads. I would like to try that AKG mod though.

would you say these sound warmer with those pads because I like the sharp highs will just enough bass to hear it... Remember the only other headphone I have is the ER4P and those are king of precision.

That combination gives indeed more warmth and cures the nutty Aaaaaargh upper midrange/treble a bit down to at least the amount the MS1 / MS Pro are equipped with.

I've been around in the scene quite a while, the MS2 is deeply impressing as new toy, but it tends to get sold after half a year or so. Its issues are its overdone aggressiveness and its rather limited genre bandwidth. I loved mine deeply though (especially for Amon Tobin kind of stuff), but sold it in favour of the MS Pro.
