Actually that's not saying very much because you haven't specified what makes him unsatisfied with the Plenue D. Furthermore the comparison is pending and there aren't any conclusions and final thoughts on the differences between the products.

Any information about the output impedance? @AuneAudio

Since Shanling is a pretty user friendly and attentive manufacturer i don't see any reason why they shouldn't have an EQ on board of the new M1. The little thing seems like it catched the flow of current electronics as the specs indicate so i would be relaxed and look forward to get it in my hands.

Anything about the output impedance?

  The JBL is rather neutral but has an option to tune the sound on the backpanel. Though the bassperformance is superb and very clean!   What is your current setup? Do you have a DAC/Interface? Otherwise you could connect the Speakers with your mainboard/soundcard using the given terminations...

I would go with an active speaker pair. Those usually offer a possibility to tune them via Potis at the backside. My recommendation is the LSR305 combined with a Bluetooth Dongle. This Setup is pretty good and should fit your pricerange.

You guys do realise that you don't have to post in a thread to subscribe to it, right?

Was anyone capable of measuring the output impedance? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest (recommend) the pleather pads over the Velour ones. They might kill the bass.

Personally i wouldn't pair the TH-X00 with any Tube AMP since they tend to sound a little warmer than normal Amplifiers which might result in an overly-thick fundamental tone. Stuff like the Objective O2 or the Magni/Modi Combo is a good choice IMHO

Try the connectors of Ranko/Rankq Audio. They are f.e. available on Aliexpress. Got them for my MSR-7 and those are solid and nicely built with decent looks. Kind regards, Ape

Got my TH-X00 today!         

Definitley a low impedance DAP. They are not really hard to drive so a Clip+ or similar Models should do it.

Nah, meant neighbourhood countrywise since i live in Germany :)

@ATau I'm really jealous right now! Looks like the post service of your neighbour isn't as good as in switzerland. Enjjoy your Fostex'/Denon!

Well not french but a fellow european and my headphones are currently in Frankfurt.

@d4rkch1ld Freight forwarding service. Usually provided by Massdrop itself for additional charge. 

Yup got an update concerning the status aswell. Should be delivered next week. @sneaky415 Pretty sure your package is currently at Frankfurt and will ship within the next three days to Norway. The end of the wait is near 

@Whitigir Well personally i don't believe in "cable-sound" and haven't heard of any scientific proof. I tried already a whole lotta cables ranging from 30€ to 1500€ (blindly). I wasn't able to tell a difference and don't know any reason why a manufacturer should make their headphones sound...

Are you serious about this? O.o

Phew, that sucks! Hope you'll get your cans back 

Huh, interesting that some guys in the UK are already receiving their TH-X00's and my tracking information still says "En Route Processing Completed at Origin". What a bummer!

@oopeteroo Personally i think those confrontational "questions" are rather pointless since the most important aspect about a headphone is if the signature fits your personal taste. Try a bunch of headphones out and pick the one which suits best. But hey, just my two cents.
