Yes, and probably who have this pair will say the same.
This is my opinion of them, but I not suggest doing things that I do
Now what can you expect from this. Well ... if you think that MX500 have good fit and comfort, this pair is level above.
Because they provide better seal and because specific way of tuning, you will notice less environmental noise when you listen the music.
If you have a habit of listening to music for a long period of time, this pair will not disappoint you, for sure.
In one sentence: fast bass, neutral mids and highs, and the main attraction here is wide soundstage and precise imaging.
BTW... ShoonTH has 2 more models with better cable and tuning and higher impedance (150ohm)
Thanks for your kind words. I'm still in the process of trying things, since i just got into buds. I want to try the most I can so I see what I like.
Do you think they are worth even without the mod? Not really into dyi stuff yet..
