tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Well the ATH-A500/A700/A900 are all close series headphones. They sound pretty good too. MS1 or should I say all headphones along the grado line are not only open, they leak tons of sound! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kongee 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Grado. SR60 or SR80. You have to bear with noise getting in from outside, but the results are fantastic. Actually, I find that fact that the caps are porous means that there is ventilation and your ears don't feel horribly hot and wet after awhile.

tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Actually after using quite some headphones, Grado has one of the most engaging sound but totally unusable in high noise environment like mrt lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warsurferX 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2008 Yup... open headphones.. but definitely worth the money if you listen to it at home, in your own cosy corner No matter what, DO NOT go for the sennheiser PX200. I thought it's a Senn but the SQ was disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ninja 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 hey..thanks for all those replies,i did some more research these days and reduced my range of headphones to ad700, ms1, sr80 and juz came across with akg 530. ad700 has a wide soundstage, but relatively less bass, clear midrange and easily driven by a ipod..but not sure about the difference between ms1 and sr80, they look quite similar lol..akg 530 i think have to drive with additional amp, but how isit comapared with ad700?

tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 Sound is very subjective. What sound crap to people may sound good to you lol. Best if you can get a set to tryout though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
