June 2, 201016 yr If I'd known the LCD-2s and these were at the AVIC show, I might have made more of an effort to go.
June 8, 201016 yr I thought it sounded pretty damn far from Grado-like - it was very laid back, warm and smooth. Sounded way more like a 650 than a Grado to my ears (and I thought sounded very nice). Unfortunately, build quality and aesthetics were crappy, even for a pre-production prototype (I'm not sure how much more impressive the production photos look to me) - certainly not befitting a $1K+ headphone...
June 8, 201016 yr Steve is right, they sucked. Mids and bass were warm and plentiful, but there was no top end and the overall sound was syrupy. Can't say that they were Grado like and also would not agree they were HD650-like. Stick with suck, that is easier.
June 8, 201016 yr Top-end was definitely a bit recessed and the headphone was clearly voiced pretty far to the warm side of things, but I didn't get the sense that its overall resolution suffered from either of these things. We'll have to wait to hear from the one person who actually buys a pair and listens to the headphones not at the meet (if this mythical creature ever comes into existence).
June 8, 201016 yr Darn, if I had known a pair was going to be there I definitely would have listened. I made sure to listen to some GS1000s and PS1000s and there are no words to describe how horrid they sound... Stick with suck, that is easier.
June 8, 201016 yr Darn, if I had known a pair was going to be there I definitely would have listened. I made sure to listen to some GS1000s and PS1000s and there are no words to describe how horrid they sound... Not even "rubbery"? I thought that was your favorite one.

June 8, 201016 yr Not even "rubbery"? I thought that was your favorite one. Rubbery is my favorite one for the 404LE. Listened to it on the T2 and it's still there. earrapeish? Yeah, something like that.
June 8, 201016 yr That's pretty much how the PS1000 made me feel when I had a listen (and what I remember of the GS1000) - a pillow on a prison bed with a crayon face drawn on it* *funny analogy not my own
June 9, 201016 yr I was in Tylls room when the MD1 was in the test box. I asked about the TightAnus and what happened to it. Reception was muffled. I guess the guys there work for Rudi or something. I didn't even bother listening to it.
June 9, 201016 yr Well in my book the TightAnus gets the award for the jankiest phone of the show. Not sure if anybody would purchase this thing at $1000
June 9, 201016 yr I was there when he was measuring it. Yes the guys were present. Tyll being Tyll of coarse minced no words, but he did let them down somewhat softly. They did measure very similar to Grados.

June 9, 201016 yr Where were these phones located? I'm asking as neither Rudistor nor any of his US representatives registered as vendors.
January 22, 201214 yr A silent moment for the Titanus MD1. The "most conftortable headphone" is no more on production. Edited January 22, 201214 yr by DefectiveAudioComponent
January 22, 201214 yr You don't think he will stick with the naming scheme and call this one Tit Anus MD2?
