next target may be MS2i.... << seriously poisoned by grado's signature...
but nid a long period to collect the money..
do u think i should go for an amp/dac 1st or straight go to MS2i?
now using sound card as source/amp..
and i read b4 that a grado will get least improvement from amped when compared to others such as HD650/AKG701... cool.gif

u still dun understand what is the difference between audiophiles and normal consumer... sweat.gif
those headphones/iems were born for audiophiles more than a consumer...
and a audiophile will try to find a most suitable equipment to giv the best definition of music to him....
if u say it is pointless to compare headphones, then how u know which headphone is most suitable for u? icon_idea.gif
luckily i found my favorite sound signature, and i'm enjoying the passion of music given by my MS1... cool.gif
for sep90, he is enjoying the various definitions from the headphones, and this is the way he enjoys music... icon_rolleyes.gif

get amp/dac 1st
later when u upgrade then u can know the soundsignature of yur amp and which cans have good synergy with it
most ppl try to match the amp with the cans itself not the other way around...
usually the sounds changes when u upgrade to different headphones
not all cans sound exactly same ..it is matching and synergy with goes along with it...

portability came 1st wen these minis were designed & d $ is another factor, thr4 its not gonna perform ie d K701s of cos tongue.gif ... d comfort level & isolation of d K420 is no where near d K450, bcos its semi-open, separation is better. so it reali depends wat u need them 4, 2 run around w/o much traffic noise, d K450 is stil d better option. K420 wil do better in quiet environment cool.gif

an idea how compact d AKG K400 series both in use & folded away ...

My only encounter with AKG was early this year when I was looking for something which might enhance my listening pleasure on MP3 players. I am quite sure everybody agrees that headphones which were normally packed with all MP3 players are adequate but certainly not great. Most MP3 players will benefit from better headphones. I wasn't looking for in-ear types , so I shortlisted my choice to these two pairs. The Sennheiser P100 and the AKG K26P. Eventually I chose the AKGs because the sound is warmer but also bought the Sennheisers a month later because I keep getting rave reviews on this model. The Sennheisers were more open and the sound stage is wider. Sound is punchy only when volume is increased. Low volume level listening is inferior to the AKGs. My honest view is that both phones have their pros and cons but my personal preference is for the AKGs.
