For Alessandro's MS1i ? He quoted me RM460

edited my previous post. think 4xx will cause less confusion. it's about that. if you were to get it from alessandro directly, it's usd 110. @ current exchange rate of 3.5, it's about RM400. the difference of RM60 will save you a lot of effort and time. best of all... you can get it sooner

I am using it for my iPhone, MacBook Pro, NDSi and other appliances. Do you think Alessandro's MS1i is portable enough on the go?

it's portable but as it's a pair of open can, u will not enjoy it as it doesn't keep noise out/ or noise in. u can hear everything around u and everyone around u can hear what u hear. so... no watching xxx on ur iphone or macbook <--- joking

waaahhh... naik banyak pulak tu... hmm, either way, rm280 is not that expensive. now waiting for walabies' pm. thanks moniqee!

umm, i have another question for everyone. According to most websites, open-air headphones should provide a very good soundstage. Wide soundstage with good separation of the instruments. that's what they say with the AD300. However, this does not seem to be the case with the grados and alessandros. They're famous for their open-air headphones, yet they're also famous for the narrow soundstage. Is it because of the size of the cans? i mean, their headphones aren't as big as full-sized headphones, thus the narrow soundstage?

So any other good alternative? I need a closed headphone. I mean I wouldn't want to disturb my mates or people around me when i listen to my "musics"

well, open back cans have better soundstage as compared to their closed backed brethren (we're talking same models here) .... but open back =/= big soundstage....soundstage also depends on the headphone
i think the sifu's here can give a more detailed explanation as to what gives a pair of cans an awesome soundstage

One question, would it be weird to see a person on the subway with Alessandro's MS1i listening to his music? :S

no lah... won't be weird to see. maybe kena whacked for disturbing other people only

That's why. I am seriously caught in between Alessandro's MS1i, Sennheiser's HD555, and AKG K450. I am confused.

lol... upped ur budget n get Audio Technica AD700... lol....

think u should consider closed cans if u r using them outdoors/ subway/ etc...

Audio Technica AD700 is a closed headphone right? How much does it cost?

A700s are closed. The entire AD range is open IINM.

all AD series r open back... last time it cost around RM500 now the price around RM7xx

yeah... but it has the most raving reviews...
