From what I can see on Willy's facebook page, there was only 1 pair made and has been already sold very shortly :)
Now the question is, who is that "mysterious" guy who bought it ? ^^

i bought it! should be arriving tomorrow :dt880smile:

that one is MK300 with 8 braided cable that he made for auction in my local audio forum, and he made two of them. the regular MK300 is the 300ohm version, but because the tuning is so improved from the old one, he renames it to MK300 (also so that it fits more to the other “MK“ product naming.

the regular MK300 (balanced version)

Got my new pk32. The back vent foam looks different than the original and also the foams supplied have a subtle difference in density but are still white full foams.

Initial impressions are they sound clean, detailed and medium bodied. Currently I’d place them slightly below Shozy BK SQ, more akin to the Shozy Cygnus but leaner mids and similar quality, wider soundstage. Further use and a full listen may change that. Although I’m fairly satisfied with them out of box, lets see what changes after 40 hours.

Oh and it goes without saying bass is correct now on these, much better than my first pk32.

How about the igaging? Is "stereo" like the previous one?

My Sony Ericsson HPM-64 with the @HungryPanda mod:) These actually sound very good. Good enough that he has one in red and one in black ordered for himself. I have a red one coming as well. We also ordered another pink one to play around with possible mods other than just changing the cable. Anyone familiar with this bud knows it requires a cable change to be useable with anything other than a Sony Ericsson phone.

This is what you get if you order one - It has a J cable with the left part ending in a 3.5mm plug near your jaw. You have to plug that into that other part which has a remote at one end and the phone adaptor at the other end. Useless with a dap or smart phone.

Can you share photos of yours? I have not seen a green one anywhere. I know I could still get an orange one. What mods have you done besides recabling?

Trying to judge without any bass in the other one but yes, sounds very similar presentation wise. Width is very good, depth is moderate. Stereo separation is noticeable and panning is accurate.

I think I bought last green on ebay... Hardest to get are blue and purple, I have only one photo, because I'm on holidays at the moment and my hpm-64 are at home, I just tried to put different thickness dampen cotton, but, to be honest didn't have a time to listen to them carefully. Green and black are missing at the photo

Several people have done it including the guy who makes the Blurs.
