Oh man I better burn my lyr and get the new schiit
Lyr?!
Must admit, they look impressive.
But wait.. That means.. Oh no.
you have not seen the insides....
The MH1s are the real deal mcsteal yo. It has gone thru my SEELE panel of Eke, VWinter, GnarlSagan, ShotgunShane, Soundfreaq and Muzak4321. Still waitin to hear back from Muzak, but everyone else is in agreement that it kicks the llama's ass. You can take that and print it
I think a lot of people must've wound up with janky ass MH1Cs as some batches were susceptible to as much as a 20 db boost in the low end (as was the case with one of SGS and Rin's pairs). From what I understand, the MH1 has better QC or something. I let Cn11 listen to my pair about a week ago, straight thru my iPhone with nothing but parabolic EQ at a single frequency. He had been burned in the past on a ****tacular pair of MH1C and the new pair floored him. He estimated that they doled out about 67% of the K3K's raw performance. (I let him go back and forth between both on my Sony F886). If the MH1 is a bad product, then ****, I don't know what the hell I'm doin here if not wasting my time and money on overpriced ********. Hell, SGS tells me he listens to his pair more than his JH13 FP lol
I believe some of Sony's recent efforts are genuinely good phones that've been hamstrung by severely boosting the low end to cater to the bass lovin demographic. That was again the case with the H3 which James444 notes as being quite refined and highly capable when modded/EQed
^ EXACTLY TELL HIM WANNABE BIRDIE!!! This nut_nicks thinks he is too uppity for these MH1Cs cuz of his one bad experience while the majority that has heard them has been really positive, ie: those elitist amongst your inner bird circle.
Ahhh, i see it now nut_nicks is just butt hurt cuz he feels left out. hoho C'mon Birdie flow this fool a set so he can experience them in their full/ proper glory. But he does reside in Canned Land though so shipping ain't gonna be cheap. : P
Eat me, I'm a hamburger. Read on back through the thread and make note of all the issues encountered. I stand by my word. There are far better phones to put your money into that do not suffer the shortcomings of the MH1.
Hype train derailed
^
Nah i don't eat meat with STDs.Welp to put it into proper perspective these MH1Cs don't even best the VSonic VSD1s for me BUT like wannabe birdie said they do sound crazy refined, not just simply cuz of their low price and they take simple EQs/ mods like a CHAMP!!!
I get your stance and for me the cable ruins their overall experience as well, but these are sonic diamonds in the rough that's fo' sho.
Hey it's YOUR loss at the end of the day so.....
There's a woeful lack of exposure on most things below the $50 poverty line when it comes to the "portable-gear in-crowd" people so whenever they get souped up on something I see it as an exercise in how chance works rather than it being an actual discovery of anything. It's easy to sit in an ivory tower, put on the monocle and marvel at "how far these peons have come".
But the fact of the matter is that there was never such a paradigm in the first place, at least from how they saw it. There have always been "good-sounding" things regardless of price but people will always have to bring it back to the price tag.
When I see people comment on the "state of the budget market" and "giant-beaters" and other instances of "quality must be a function of some other property entrophic situations should not exist" breeded from god-knows-where I help them wipe their rose-tinted glasses and tell to that I'll see the next year in Jerusalem.
And really it's not as hard to bring any random piece of gear into the spotlight as people would think. Primarily a game of chance - you just have to get the right people together at the right time in order to get the hype train going and that says a lot for this thread as well. Rinse-repeat-rinse-repeat.
Buy what you want, as long as it's within your means, that's the last I'll say on the matter.

Something about this monologue reminds me of this scene:
Are you into audiophilia since every aspect of your life seems to be involved with music. If so what type of audio gears do you own or would recommend???
I'm not an audiophile, I think audiophilia is a bit of a wank really. When mixing a piece of music audiophilia is actually your enemy, because most people who listen to the music won't have good audio reproduction systems, so you need to mix whatever you're doing so it sounds good on a piece of ****, as well as on the good toys. Since the good toys, are.... we... GOOD, mixing a song to sound kick-ass on them isn't much of a challenge as your song will sound great anyway on big ass $5000 system. Most listeners however don't have that kind of system, instead they are listening to your song on their phones, or on their car stereo which has one broken speaker, or on some $50 computer speakers with a crappy subwoofer, so your pop hit, if it's going to be a pop hit, has to sound equally good on THAT.
