I'm selling these because I've switched to the XM4. I actually think the XM3 sounds better due to more detailed highs, but I need earbuds with better noise cancellation. The XM3 has been used for less than 24 hours! These will come with the original OEM ear tips, charging cable, and documentation.

I need a hard case so that the headphones don't get squished when it gets packed in a bag. Thanks!

Thanks, guys. Okay, so the iPod earbuds actually have more bass than the PK2 and PK3, and I'm personally okay with the amount of bass the iPod earbuds have. But since the bass on the PK2 is more controlled, I might give that a shot then. nonsupremous, you say that the PK2 is not the best...

More, less, or the same amount as the iPod earbuds? I only ask because, for instance, people will all the time say XYZ doesn't have booming bass but I will think it does.

lol there's no such thing as "burn-in." It's a myth propogated by the placebo effect. How many of you have actually A/Bed the same pair of headphones with one with "burn-in?" I have countless time and they always sound exactly the same. EDIT: Whoops, didn't realize this thread was posted back...

And please don't say stuff like one is more fun and the other more analytical. What's fun for one person may not be to another. Thanks.

Which had the most bass? Which has more controlled bass, i.e. punchier and less muddy? Do both the PK2 and PK3 have as much or more bass than the iPod earbuds? Which had the best the detail/clarity? Thanks. Please only respond if you have A/Bed these 3 earbuds. Also only looking for...

lol headphone burn-in is a myth. how do you know it sounded better? you actually have a second brand new pair to compare with? it's all placebo effect. i've even tested this with several pairs of headphones. anyway, these are pretty nice headphones. i think the audio technica ath-m50 is...

Subjectivity = placebo effect Case closed.

That thread is closed, but burn-in is definitely a myth, and a hilarious one. It's all placebo effect. I even tested this myself for ****s and giggles. I had a pair of Ultrasone DJ1s 2-3 years old and then recently just bought a brand new pair. They sound EXACTLY the same when A/Bing them. I...

no one with both the pk2 and pk3? not interested in the pk1 at the moment.
