I have a question for others who use these headphones. Having recently purchased them, mine came with foam pads, and they sit on the ear, rather than the foam rings on my Grado SR80s, which go round and enclose the ear. I swapped them round, putting the rings on the MS1s, and the pads on the 80s. This improved the MS1, removing the filtering/veiling effect of the pads, giving more of the openness characteristic of the 80s, whilst retaining the improvements achieved by Alessandro. The pads also calmed down the 80s a bit, but I prefer them as normal.
Has anyone else tried this? And what were your findings, please?
