zore 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 hi folks, i have been using sony earphones for a long time till i heard my fren's ATH ES3 and i was real impressed. that's when i got interested in getting better sounding earphones/headphones. after auditioning several headphones, i decided on MS-1. the MS-1 sounds the nicest to me, love the pronouced. however, i was really disappointed when i stepped out of the building. the outside world makes them sound kinda crappy cuz of all of the noise. felt like i wasted my money. oh shucks. anyways, i was hoping for some recommendations for Closed Headphones that sound somewhat similar to the MS-1? can anyone ?

The HD25-1 is pretty small and durable for it to be portable and brought around really. For me at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Between 330 to 350 depending on where you buy them. The default HS25-1 uses steel cable. Which well, some say they are not hat good. I rather pay abit more to change to the default HD650 cables personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kahchun 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 what the difference between hd25-1 and hd25sp, since recabling is the idea will hd25-1 and hd25sp have the same sound (after recabling)? hd25sp is suppose to be cheaper right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
