I'd also tend to agree, warmer / smoother, mid-range forward headphones tend to require a more acquired taste that usually comes with time, I've stepped up the a ladder too when I just wanted bass at first, then I wanted bass & sparkle (unrealisticly much sparkle) and today I'm at a stage where I want very forward midrange and long gone is when I felt sparkly treble is a good thing, in fact I hate unrealisticly bright treble now.
Could be wrong but this is what most new comers are after. Looking at myself 7 year ago, the quality phones for me were the ones with aggressive signature, thumping bass, and accentuated via elevated treble details. And MDR-1R do not fit that bill, I am afraid. May be Ultrasones or new AKG K167 is a safer bet.
