I hope it help somebody to take the driver sure and easy.
The sound is more detailed than the wood total cup, but less bass and warm.

*Jaw Drop* Those are gorgeous Cabillas!

I love this Internet stuff. What else can one do at 5:00 a.m. in the morning? Sleep? That's for the weak. Oh wait ... I'm heading back to sleep for a bit.
We can sleep when we die Wayne. I'll live every minute that I can, while I can
On a more serious note.. I have the ms-pros. So far..... I've decided the tape mod on the pads makes more of a difference than there is between my bloodwoodies and the pros. In all seriousness, they are damn close. There might be a bit more detail on the pros and they seem a tad more aggressive, while in comparison one could call my bloodwoodies a *bit* more muddy and a tad smoother. The pros are a little bit punchier. Emphasis on how little these changes are. I'm AB'ing the headphones.. I don't notice much of a change at all unless i'm switching back and forth. Overall, I'm damn happy with my modded 80i's.
I need to cover up the two holes on my bloodwood cups and do some more testing, but here are the initial impressions.. I'll be posting more. Also, I actually prefer my headphones for aesthetics.. My 11 year old nephew said he thought the mspros looked a lot nicer though, so maybe its just me. I'll be leaving more impressions later tonight after I recover the holes on the 80's... They are working as a bass boost, which might be why I'm feeling the pros have more detail and punch.. My bloodwoods sound a bit muddy in comparison at the moment. Lets see if i can work on that
yeah, they are a tad more bassy and a bit less detailed, but smoother like I said... I'll comment more later, I must be off!
-edit- If you made me pick a pair to keep indefinitely and I was blind to the price tags. I'd probably kill myself in the process of deciding. The allesandros are a bit more detailed and a bit more aggressive, my 80i's a bit more laid back. Both sound great. I would have never called my bloodwoodies laid back, but they are a bit compared to the mspros

They somehow manage to squeeze even more oomph out of these headphones.
Let me put it this way, I like the mspros a lot and I"m going to grab them so long as they are on my desk. But, I won't lose any sleep over wanting to purchase them given the price and the upgrade in sound.
If i had both I'd grab the ms pros almost every time based on sound. I'd grab the sr80is on looks or if the recording was a bit too shrill for the allesandros.
TL

R the allesandros sound better in a more aggressive detailed sense... But is it worth 500 more dollars (which is pretty much the price difference between the two)... Not in my opinion. If i had 500 dollars to blow, sure. But, not on a college budget. I'll enjoy them while I have them and not fret too much when they are gone.
Wow, that ended up being a long winded initial response..
