Music One by Alessandro

[admin_exported]

Ok so I received my new cans today and have been doing some comparisons:

First I plugged straight into my imac & sound was much better compared to my sehn c300 but then streamed wireless to the beresford 7510...Wow this is what I've been looking for!
The sound is just amazing, these cans are well worth the money. Unfortunately I can't compare them directly to grados or any other make in this price range, but again..wow.

Just my thoughts but from another thread idc talked about
Massive Attack 'Angel' - almost complete loss of bass distortion and the miaow sound at 41 seconds is clearer than before.

He wasn't talking about headphones but, I here this now!
Just my 3cents

Your wait and money have been worthwhile. I have a pair of the Music Ones and a pair of Grado 60, I could not believe the difference in sound between both headphones just amazing, I only wish the hi fi team could get a pair to test, I would even send them mine or take them to their office to test.

Hi ewanbcn, it is from the 'Re: Interconnect Help' post and the effect of adding the SHB interconnect. I have been using that track for years. It was listened to through my headphones, I've only got headphones, no rubbishy speakers for me! If you have achieved the 'Angel' test, it is a guarantee an upgrade was worth it.

Would never get rid of my speakers for any headphone I prefer to sit in front of the performance than it to happen inside my head. But when I do listen on HP I love my MS1 they are a fantastic product for the price..

Nice to hear positive feedback about Alessandro especially as I`m expecting mine also.

How long it took for them to arrive by the way?

Cheers

Yeah I do prefer speakers but its just not practical at the moment, but I'm so impressed by these.

I ordered during the 4th J hols but from payment to receiving 7days - not bad

I can see our small band of Alessandro headphoners starting our own fan club.

Been pondering about getting some decent h/phones for a while now and the Alessandro MS1 is certainly something i've been considering. Question - are they definately Closed back headphones? Sound leakage is something the boss certainly won't like.

 

[lazar1980]

They are open-back headphones.

Seems like I was a little mis-informed then. Was told they were an upgraded version of the Grado SR60i, which is a 'Closed Back' headphone.

The Grado Website says the SR60 is "Open Air"

The MS1s are Open Back, it's just that Alessandro receive the Grados and do something magical to them that produces a better headphone, it would seem that both companys have a mutual agreement between them that does not interfere with the sale of either manufactures products.

 

[pwiles1968]

I have never listened to Grados but I believe they are an Exiting listen whatever that means, the MS1 are supposed to be tuned to be a lot more neutral, which suits my Acoustic and Jazz tasted down to the ground. Some may well prefer the sound of teh grado its personal preference really.

Hmm, the WHF price guide in the mag has the SR60i as 'Closed'. Just as well I didn't take the earlier advice and order them. Will have to rethink.
