I doubt they sound identical, buy if they did then I'd honestly get the tx0 modded simply for aesthetics. I think the black metal, cups, headband, and cable look so much better than the orange, silver and white on the mk3. Also, the tx0 comes with a strap and I'd probably get the mha deerskin so...

Hey there, I'm trying to chooe between buying a tx0 or an mk3. I'll be sending them in for the Argon treatment either way, but would anyone with experience with both headphones be able to compare/contrast the 2? Thanks. Edit: if it helps, I will be using alpha pads and I have to decide between...

Do any of the people with modded shps want to trade for them (cups, ring adapters, and clamp mod)?

Still, an audiophile cable as an audio upgrade has such a small impact on the sound that it is not worth the money. "re cabling" can change sound drastically, but I GUARANTEE that if you were blindfolded you couldn't tell the difference or it would be very minimal.

I don't think you read my post correctly. I simply stated that you DO NOT NEED an audiophile cable. I have tried to hear the difference between multiple cables blindfolded and the only way that you can hear a difference worth your money is if you have a Fidelio x1 with high cable impedance. I'm...

A close friend of mine owns the m40x, mrspeakers mad dog, hd650, shp9500, and beyerdynamic dt770. I am going to provide some input on his behalf in the form of some easy mods and my general opinion of these cans. Stock: imo, these are as neutral as you can get for under 100, bar the srh440s.I...

I would love to come to this meet, as I have never been to one and live in CA. I don't have any gear of note, but I would love to help around. I'd love to try out some high-end gear so I know what I should step up to soon. Thanks to Levi for setting this up.

You do not need an "audiophile" cable to make things sound good. People who think so are why audiophiles are looked badly apon sometimes. If you truly think it makes a big difference, then.... Whatever floats your boat!

The fiio e18 is basically an e12 with a DAC. That might help you out.

I am thinking about getting a premium 32ohm version on eBay, but I am very sensitive to treble. Have you tried any mods on that model?

Can you post you picture again?I think it is a broken link.

My intention was to find the optimal phone in pocket to headphone average, but maybe I worded it wrong.

AtJohnson, sorry I haven't responded yet, but my short answer is that you should buy all 3 and see what works and then return 1 or 2. I have a deal on the S for 180 dollars if you want it.

This just made my day XD

Where are you getting the X1? Also, these can be used for BOTH portable AS WELL AS home use.
