Since I already have a pair of rs-1s, anyone think it would be worth owning a set of these too? Anyone want to compare them and stuff? How are they different?

[tkam]

Since you already have RS-1's I doubt they'd be worth getting.

[deepak]

Get a HP-1000.

[mjg]

was just curious on what or fi im missin anythign out... ive had ms2i's i digged a lot in the past... have ms1's too which sound pretty awesome out of my main rig too.

Last I had a pair of hp1000s I had / heard was when I had an ray samuels hr2. I just didn't think it sounded terrific at the time... Maybe i'll try them again if i can find a cheaper pair. The ones I had were hp1s if it mattered at all.

[n_maher]

I'm not sure there's such a thing as a cheap pair of HP Grados these days.

[mjg]

If I could grab a pair for 900 bux or less i'd do it ; )

[mjg]

so no real ms pro opinions from peeps that heard them???

[mjg]

my freakign mom woke me up... I was drinking all night, and mad hung over.... yet im on here and listening to headphones... so of course I need instant gratification! DUH!!!

[mjg]

yo, u ever drank sparks before? that shit is gross

[mjg]

heh, actually i didnt hear about it until this dood was telling me about the headfi meet. I imagined something simialr to vodka and red bull, in a can... the lazy scumbag tendancies i have drew me to the conveniance of the idea.

wow, was so grossssss. I usually drink vodka red bulls or whatever. Yet my boy does live against this awesome pretentious type beer place where u can buy those big like 22 ounce bottles for 15 bux each that ahve german weird shit on them or whatever. Stuff like u and grawk like.

I got this beer called tusker a few times... had some last night. Its made in africa, freeking awesome. I think it's made by real elephants so u know it's good. Try it out some time

[mjg]

could be... i guess they might be canibals. For real tho it's a beer, i dig it.... i also liked this south hampton brewery pumpkin ale.

[mjg]

yea this place is so funny, we go in there and the guy keeps talking at us, we cant udnerstand a word he is saying, but he thinks he's giving us beer advice so we just nod at him. We tried this one bottle that looked like a champagne bottle he recommended to us, it was nasty sounding reminded me of like blue moon which i hate. Usually the fancy beer is just too heavy to me. Anyway not sure how popular or hard it is to get... can u order beer online or something?

mjg, in the off chance you haven't read it, below is the link to the Google cache of Kuma's comparative review of RS-1/MS-Pro.

I thought they sounded pretty near to identical at a recent meet. Looser101, who did in the end decide on buying the Ms-Pro's, agreed. As did the RS-1 owner, Fierce_Freak.

[JBLoudG20]

By God, mjg: you sound just like Billy. You can take that comment how ever you'd like.

[aerius]

bump, any impressions please?

They're exactly the same, yet completely different. It's like the Senn 580 & 600, exactly the same, but totally different. Or like the K340 & K340, same, yet different. Or crack & cocaine, same, but different. Or...

[philodox]

Yeah, except in this case they are the same but the same. Except that the Ms-Pro looks better and is cheaper in Canada.

[JBLoudG20]

Or...

Billy and mjg. OR postjack and boy george. OR PFK and Mr. Rogers. Or ...

[Salt Peanuts]

Except that the Ms-Pro looks better....

Assuming they haven't gone through the transformation the RS-1 has gone through - anyone wanna take one for the team and buy one new just to see?

[mjg]

By God, mjg: you sound just like Billy. You can take that comment how ever you'd like.

hmm, what?

[philodox]

I'm pretty sure they haven't, but that is a good point.

[mjg]

i saw this ebay guy has a pair and he seems legit. I know it's usually a pain to order these... the money isnt burning a hole in my pocket for 700 retail, but id just kinda wanna know what the grass is like on the other side.

I guess for 700 new, i'll wait for a used pair to come along... Kuma's review sort of made me think i wouldnt like them. I like bass, and I do like forward sound, but I did love the ms2i's. I know neutral isnt always better.

[fierce_freak]

There are only subtle differences between the two, based on my listening impressions from the mini-meet philodox mentioned. I thought they sounded a touch more dry (I think Jay used the term clean), but really not big enough of a difference to own both.
