I know but in terms of sq which would be better?

Bass, treble and mids to be enhance as well as soundstage will be more important part

I have the EX1000. I don't have the 3003 buy I have heard it extensively (like using it daily for commute for a week). I prefer EX1000, but I listen mostly to pop and Jazz. If you are a classical guy, 3003 may suit you more.

Mojo definitely improves the AK240 output IMO/E. You might say..... Sublime, simply sublime. :wink_face:

Sysconcept is the way to go and really not that expensive.

Which will sound better is up to you. My recommendation is to get the one that is technically the most proficient because the Mojo has A LOT of technical prowess under the hood. It might be better to describe how the Mojo presents the music, which is smooth yet very detailed. This is actually very difficult to achieve and gear that sounds smooth may not present the detail as well. Or a detailed piece of gear may end up sounding harsh or fatiguing. IMO Mojo is the best of both worlds.

Many thanks for the reply. So which would you say are the technically better iem?

I have no idea, I haven't heard either. You may have better luck in the relevant IEM threads though if no one here has heard both.

To be clear, what I mean by technically better is the ability to reproduce fine details, not just tonal balance.

Try Layla. The best of the best of the best.

I actually preferred Angie to the Layla for my tastes. The pairing with the Mojo is amazing.

Yeah so good you will never look for another iem.☺ BTW the AK380 is beautiful.

 

[PrinceOfEgypt]

My budget only allows me to choose between ex1000 or akg. I really don't see any point for my needs anyway to spend more than 400gbp on an iem which is what these cost.

Not necessarily though. I have the Layla but have since also searched for IEMs with really good bass, like more than than Layla's dial turned to the max. This led to the purchase of ASG2.5, Sony XB90Ex, EX1000 and EX800ST, and last but not least, the mighty JVC SZ2000. The Layla is good for audiophile stuff. For pop and electronic, I go straight to those cans now.

Yes, thats what I'm gonna do

 
By the way, just in case, I do vouch for quality analogue cables. I bought a QED Reference Audio J2P to take sound from Mojo to amplifier in Q Acoustics BT3. That cable is worth its weight in gold.
 
You probably already know this and I do not mean in any sense to be condescending. I am simply passing on info, on the off chance you had not tried quality analogue cables.
 
-----------------------------
 
I think QED have recently stopped making the Reference Audio J2P though. I think it's worth seeking a Reference Audio J2P in stock somewhere. There's a Profile J2P, a Performance Audio J2P, and a QED J2P (meaning no extra name in title). Someo of these cables have been awarded 4 or 5 stars in J2P or other forms.
