Except they all sound the same  

what does a cable sound like?

o2 will drive them i assume

maybe modded t50rp mk3 will be good replacement that is more durable and comfy than the fsp? zmf classic?

Would someone who's favourite headphone is the Focal Spirit Professional enjoy these? Any other recommendations in the price range?

Yea I might check those out, maybe the vmoda ZN?

Anyone here got IEM recommendations that sound similar to the FSP?   Looking for the same sort of aggression, when i compare my m100 to my FSP the FSP is so much more forward, and i love that about them :) The m100's sound too distant in comparison to the FSP which sounds more direct imho  ...

ok i feel you

but you didnt get new ones?

why did you have it refunded if i may ask?

yeah i dont know why anyone would ever call the focals to have weak bass. far from imho

 did they stop proceeding on the Forza concept?  

personally i use the vmoda cable, but that gives noise too.   http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisual-S-Flex-Mini-1-5m-3-5mm-Cable/dp/B00B3VS9X0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457273263&sr=8-1&keywords=s-flex this one should have less cable noise i think because of how soft the cable is.

yeah i was thinking of taking a look at the HD600's.   Thanks for your write up, looks like the msr7's arent for me.   The focals arent ''uncomfortable'' for me, but i wouldnt say you forget they're there too.   Thinking of selling my M100's for hd600's and keeping the focals anyways, they...

anyone here have both the MSR7 and the pro's?   Im thinking of selling my focals to get some AT's    Is the msr7 a more comfortable version of the focal spirit? Would the msr7 be alot brighter than the focals? Can the msr7 use the VMODA cables?   I currently own the focals and am looking...

the micca is a little gem for sure, if i was in the US i would have gotten it over my current objective2 + odac for price alone   edit: do they drive 650's tho?

They color the sound (add distortion) to make it sound, in most cases, warmer.   If i were you i'd get a solid state amp and choose the headset to change the sound

fiio e09k would be a good option as amp too, might be cheapest

I think the magni would be more than sufficient it will drive them.

no i think the magni would suffice for sure, could also check out the Objective 2, basically the same but different form factor, get whichever is cheapest

for hard to drive headphones you will definately need an amp.   A dac however, it depends, most motherboards have a great dac and most people wouldnt be able to differentiate between a 1000$ dac and onboard computer sound (source: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/high-end-pc-audio,3733.html)

So did they stop proceeding on the Forza concept?

want to know this too

they are completely different.   the focals are way more intimate with the ma 900 being in my opinion quite distant, it is ofcourse one of the most open headphones there is.   That is probably the very reason why i couldnt stand the ma 900, the ma 900 is very relaxed and laid back as opposed...
