I’ve read that the clear mg pro and clear mg have different tuning/ sound stage. There was a review saying that the clear mg pro definitely had a smaller soundstage, in comparison to the clear mg.
I did see the review (i think from Audio 46). I have only tried the Clear Mg Pro, so I cannot comment on the Clear Mg regular, but from all I've read, they should be the same. There are possible variations in pad sizes. I did measure all 4 pads that came with the Mg Pro, and there are some slight variation between the 4, granted they both had some slight use each from myself, TylersEclectic, and the previous reviewer (Josh Valour).
Those cables you used with it look absolutely awesome. Where did you get those?
The cables are homemade. I used Paracord as the sheathing material, so finding the red/black look should be pretty easy.
