Great, owner of my cans and owner of my possible next ones in one person!
If you don't mind, I have some questions for you.
I love MS1 for instrumanal music. The texture and forwarness of guitars is inderdible (I didn't try High-End cans). The drums, from fast kick drum, through vibrant and energic snare to detailed crash, brrr...
But I'd like another ones, for electronic music.
The presentation on MS1 (comapred to eg. UR29, HD202, EP630 and CX300) is airy which in some cases is wanted. But for me, sometimes they're not dense enough.
The bass - the largest problem. MS1 do good when track is not heavy on bass. But for music built on the pulsating bassline they're too weak.
The stage. On Alessandros it sometimes happens. This is not obligatory, but larger stage would be nice.
The highs - on mine they can be little harsh. Smoother ones would sometimes fit better.
They don't have to be approved in terms of isolation for airports, but when friend turns on TV it's hard to listen to silent music.
For home use, connected to Prodigy 7.1hifi (they have HP amp).
Rock, classic, jazz would probably still be listend through Alessandros, so I look for something which would do better in electronica.
I was thinking about ATH-M50, Ultrasones 780 or Monster Turbines.
Thanks in advance
