This is just to see where everyone's at, like a headcount. Keep the posts short since there's already discussion on the two.

I'll eeny meeny miney mo if I have to (for me, other factors come in)

(for reference, the comparison thread is here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/dif...10/index7.html)

Nice, enter your vote.

I like ms1 the best. I dont' feel that grado's really need a recable either.

 

[SBD]

I shouldn't have included that last option. try to stay away from it...

MS-1. I've got bowl pads as well - they don't work with the Alessandro.

You serious? Don't they use the exact same frame or do you just mean you don't like them?

There's a great thread by people who have heard both. Differences between SR-80s and MS-1s.

In short, the SR-80s have a punchier, bassier sound while the MS-1s are brighter and more laid back.

Haha, thanks. I lost that thread and searched for like half an hour...never saw it again.
To make it clear, I just want to see what everyone has (considering a great deal of people say they prefer the MS1's)...just as a headcount.

lol. I should change the first post...people should be able to say more than that.

I just ordered the SR60's. I was going to buy SR80's because it was more appropriate for my hip-hop music but I just couldn't find the extra $25 for "foam and wire".

Hope I made the right choice as my first audiophile cans!

the SR60 comes with comfies pad which imo is not that good. bowls are definitely better for the lower end grados. but you can buy the bowls new at around $10

Although it seems to be too late: MS1 - good with the original bowls, even better with quarter-modded Sennheiser-pads. More comfortable.

I prefer the MS1 with quarter modded HD414 pads. Sometimes, the more aggressive sound of SR80 doesn't work as well for the more 'laid-back' stuffs. I'd be perfectly happy to have either though.
