Question.
I found a FW update for the HM-601. A bit afraid upgrading it.
Has anyone tried it before? Any problems? My greatest fear is bricking my dear 601.

I just hope they don't bring in car audio into the IEM form.

F1 is only good for what it is, a cheap IEM.
As stock IEMs go, it's actually pretty decent.

Nope....

You found it just as my internet died on me when I found it.

In a few months I'm gonna take revenge by spoiling myself with a headphone purchase. I'm gonna get myself an Alessandro MS1i afterall.

Have to wait a few months la first, to collect enough funds. I think Jaben also has had problems with MS1i stock a while back, dunno now though. Jaben, got stock ah?

It's been on and off and on and off but in the end something that is energetic with electric guitars is what I want, and what seems to be the strong point of the MS1i, not surprising from a guitar amp manufacturer.

I just hope nothing bad happens while I'm stockpiling my cash.

Hmmm........a bit risky since I am in the middle of collecting funds. Afraid I might not have the funds when the time comes.
Approximately how long is the wait/how long have this waiting list go on for?

Oh please please please let nothing bad happen when I collect funds. I just want an Alessandro, is that too much to ask for?!


duh2k, have you owned/do you own an MS1i, or its Grado equivalent?

So basically you get a "fat" sound coming out of them, mid-centered I mean?

Ooh, liking it more and more. Just what I want basically.
If in 2 months stock is ready I'm gonna jump in and buy an MS1i.

How can I audition, I'm at Sabah.
But I don't mind its drawbacks, like poor isolation and stuff. Having a DDM with its massive bass and rich mids but recessed treble, didn't mind that the slightest bit of that sound sig(in fact my favourite sound sig). Not much of a critical listener either. Just wanting something that I can slip on my head in a split second, hit play on my source and start head-banging or doing air guitar poses.

I know I've requested bright IEM before, but it seems that vocal and electric guitars(guitars in general) are more my thing these days. I would like good treble, but I don't mind them being recessed.

What...IT HAAAAASSS?!?!!

EDIT: OMG just found out at Headjam that it'll be RM368........cheaper than the MS1i.
Decisions decisions. If I choose the SE215, I can buy them tomorrow.

EDIT: Nah...MS1i it is..... Too much hassle of putting it in my ear and also questions about the detachable cable's durability.

Nope.
I may change my mind again(I've only been indecisive when it comes to audio ). May be getting an SR60i instead if stock is readily available.

Added on March 30, 2011, 11:56 pmWoohooo...will be getting a Grado SR60i instead.

Then black would be your colour of choice. Most hearing aids I see are in a shade of white/flesh colour.

OMG it's walabies' Birthday?!?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY great dude!!

Oh, and thanks to Jaben, my SR60i has arrived in great condition and.......one of the best purchase I've made. My first ever headphone and it doesn't disappoint.
Kudos to Grado, Kudos to Jaben.

One thing though, it sure needs a lot of power.

Hey does Jaben sell pads that fits Grados? Thinking of getting one to test them out. I tried my SR60i without the pads and the sound is much less restricted and volume is higher(which made me turn down the volume on my DAP). So thinking of getting one of those "donut" earpads. I would like to be able to switch between earpads so doing a quarter mod on the stock is out of the question.

Not looking into buying one now, just seeing whether Jaben has them or not.

Oh so they do have it! Great news.

I like how they open up the sound a bit more. Actually I found the volume to be a bit louder without the pad covering up the driver.

Eventually I'm gonna remove the rear venting grille, then change the cables, and replace the housing.....and so on...but that's for when it is out of warranty. I'm looking around the net for some decent DIY mod tutorial.

I get enough looks from passersby with a stock Grado....so no thanks to the Barney mod.

I just saw a steampunk mod of the SR60i.
