ajxd Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I wish I could wear circumaural headphones. Damn cauliflower ears ruin my life. I can wear them for about... one minute. And then my ears hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajxd Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Judo in college. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu now. I don't have mongoloid ears, I drained them every time they blew up, but I have big solid chunks in my ears from each time they blow up. You can only drain so much out. But now I have an excuse to never have to use headphones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniquemel0dy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 My birthday is in a week, my wife is hopefully gifting me a pair of Alessandro MS-1's... Good choice, hope you enjoy them. If I were to rank my headphones those would come second only to my DT770's. The M50's someone else mentioned were my first pair, but are very sub par compared to my other headphones.

timbrh2001 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Seriously, these are really diverse, good for home and on the move. Definitely would think about buying those if I wasnt dedicating a set of headphones for home use only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
828321 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If it's just for home, try a pair of Grado SR80i http://www.whathifi.com/review/grado-sr80i http://www.amazon.com/Grado-Prestige-Series-Stereo-Headphone/dp/B000G3LCQC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362179935&sr=8-1&keywords=grado+sr80i these are not pretentious pretenders, these are the real deal and make those AKG's look like kittens in a lion's den, and the AKG are good.

The M50's someone else mentioned were my first pair, but are very sub par compared to my other headphones. Just got my pair yesterday. Love them. I did the mod of cutting a quarter size hole in the middle of the comfies. Improved the sound maybe just a tad. Gonna buy some bowl cups and do the taped mod first, then look to turn these into MS1000's somewhere down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever get into the hobby enough I would try to make/buy some wooden cups similar to here: http://www.headphile.com/page5.html The sound is much richer after the upgrade. I modded mine with cocobolo wood and they sound great but my bowl earpieces fell apart on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I modded mine with cocobolo wood and they sound great but my bowl earpieces fell apart on me. Beautiful. I was looking at the standard woody. Ill definitely be dropping the coin to upgrade sometime down the line. Reason I bought these was partially because of the customization options.

swemoll Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The 60's are good, yes. But if one is going to spend $80 on a pair of cans, they should definitely spend an extra $20 for the 80's. I've heard good things about these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearchuck Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Or spend that same $100 on the Alessandro MS-1's While the SR80i's and MS-1's are alike in most ways, there are subtle differences ... and it's not a good / bad thing either. Do your research and decide which one exhibits the sonic signature you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
