I am merely posting this thread to get opinions about these three headphones - the RS1i, the PS500, and the MS Pro. All of them are within the same price range, and all are Grado-like in some form or another. Yet, all of them have different sounds.
Some background about myself - I currently own the Grado SR80i. I am in love with its forward vocals, bass presence, and airy sound. I also really like its crisp, articulate sound (for a $80 headphone - I expect the upgrade to be even better). I listen to the SR80i with L-cush pads, and this adds a bit to the bass presence.
However, I know that the SR80i isn't perfect. I want a less harsh treble, more bass presence while remaining the same punch (for example, Denons make my head hurt. I enjoy the presence and sound of the bass, but don't want it too punchy and impactful).
As far as music goes, my likes range from Haste the Day (hard rock) to Coldplay. It also includes EDM music, though doesn't have to excel at that genre.
What are your opinions about these three headphones?
I checked the forums, but only found one isolated post about these three and his music tastes varied from mine. The answers also weren't broad enough to compare to my own taste. If I missed a post, then please link it to me and slap me on the wrist.
