hi,
i'm after some grado or alessandros for use with a Cowon iAudio D2 portable media/mp3 player. mainly for commuting between home and university via train.
won't be using an amp as i don't want another thing to try and squeeze into my pocket.
Code:
majority of my music is in high VBR mp3 and ogg format.
i've ruled out the iGrado and SR60.
it's out of Grado SR80/SR125/SR225 and Alessandro MS1/MS2(i) - which ones would be best?
am i right in saying the Alessandro's are more neutral and analytical while the Grados are more bright and colourful? i'm assuming the Grados are warmer?
how would the D2 player go with powering these headphones?
i'm also a little worried about outside sound leaking in especially while on the train, will i be able to listen comfortably without needing to increase the volume to a deafening level?
thanks for any help/advice
