I can only gather from the reviews that the cups might be too shallow for some users and that the treble is prominent which is a plus for me
if anyone here has heard these are cares to share there thoughts it would be great
P.S i have no idea why the first paragraph is in bold and i cant fix it

A while back i posted about a completly under the radar studio monitor the MX10 from JVC that i had coming in. Well I got them and let them baked alittle with burn in and it is deffinetly a discovery. They only seem to be availible to us headfiers in the US as an import for now for about $200 USD which for what im hearing they probably could charge much more. So here are my quick impressions I used my phone (Galaxy S4) and my PC (both of which are just not doing these cans justice) with mostly 320bitrate MP3s and FLAC i listened to 5 finger death punch Infected mushroom Skrillex Phill Collins G&R just to name a few the cans i used for reference are the populare and discover thread stable the JVC S400 modded with a semi open cup mod foam baffle insert and memory foam stuffed pads. ~the MX10 utterly destroys them in evey possible way

The short they are AMAZING just uhhhh i love them lol!
The long
The sound in general: Very musical and engaging but not overly so just right it seems. Very neutral across the board but a very detailed and natural sound. Very clear and ridiculously revealing. (my source is being torn to bits hardcore and the phones show it) but there still so easy on the ears i just get lost in the music now and not listening to how the phones are sounding.
Treble: Sweet extended fast and soft not harsh at all very easy on the ears
Mids: liquid smooth or rough completely depending on the recording. VERY transparent and very layered and fast
Bass: Rich and detailed. Just enough weight to hear it all but not enough to blow your brains out unless you crank up the volume...then it will.
sound-stage: a good deal bigger than the S400 it feels and very accurate gaming is very precise on all axis its just weird how i know were gun fire is coming from or where teammates are moving and music sounds spaced out a little not just a wall of sound in my head.
Imagery: layered and with depth i can easily just pay attention to a particular sound in a song or part of it and just listen to the whole very nice separation.
detail: good very good definitely too good. I can see how bad my on board audio is and my phone that once sounded good sounds thin now hile the computer seems veiled i can hear the "jitter" that the comes with a noisy source now and i can tell that these need a much better source to shine but they still sound excellent with what i have.
timbre: Very natural. Strikingly real sounding and not at all artificial. Cymbal and drums have a very real sound to them along with every instrument and note. Videos sound natural with definition
build: solid and they feel well made the cups are part tough plastic and some kind of metal. The leather band is nice not to firm and not to soft the pads feel cheap though and squishy ill need to get some thicker ones. The drivers have a weird metal housing which is marketed as a sound diffuser(had to dig DEEP into google to get that info). These are not CNT drivers as i once thought but run of the mill material just insaine tunning it seems.
comfort: way better that the S400 the ears get a little hot after along time but that normal with fake leather. The ears do hurt a little after long use since the cups are very shallow i feel the thicker pads will fix this. Not a deal breaker for me though still pretty comfy
