Hey everyone, I had a question for you guys.

I currently own a Yuin PK3, but I am interested in getting an MX400 instead because of the y-cord and similar(?) SQ. Is there a big gap in the SQ of the PK3 and the MX400? Also, factor in comfort to your response.

Thanks
`Kevin

Yes, there is a HUGE gap in SQ and comfort. The MX400 sound very dark and muddy compared to the PK3, and they also don't sit in my ears as well as the Yuins. Going from the PK3 to the MX400 would be a big step down.

If you must have a Y-cable but don't want to sacrifice SQ, then you should consider stepping up to the more expensive PK2.
