I am really interested in getting one of these new T50RPMK3!
I heard somewhere that they do sound quite good right out the box, unmodded, but only way to figure out is trying them out!
 
Anybody had a chance to give them a listen?

Yeah they are getting some good reviews , people who listened it at RMAF including Tyll had good things to say about it.

It is nice to know some renowned reviewers have good impressions about these new cans! Hope I'll get for myself!
 
There is only one review about them here at Head-Fi written by AnakChan, if anyone is interested in reading it.

I listened to a pair at the Audio Fest in Denver on Saturday, and if I could, I would have purchased them right then.  The sound was truly full, base, mid and treble without anything over or under.  The only criticism I would offer is the very thin pads (I wear glasses and would consider my old ATH M50 pads the minimum).  I will probably also add some kind of headband sleeve (I'm bald and bare rubber is not great on my scalp).
Some key differences between this and older versions: mk3 has grey sliders, bright orange coupler wires from the earpieces to the headband.
I really think this version hit the sweet spot and don't think I would do any other modification beyond pads / sleeve.

These should do the trick.

Someone would need to experiment to see how  those pads would change the signature.

damn, cant wait to see what they improved inside and how the graph look like. Anyone already have them and checked them inside?

Sound wise, how would these compare to the HiFiMan's HE-400s? Anybody had a chance to listen to both of them?

I thought the new version had a headband pad instead of bare rubber?

The new T50RP Mk3 was one of the biggest surprise at the RMAF.

Thank you so much for these feedbacks!
I've been looking for more information and impressions on the new T50RP Mk3, and these only helped reinforce my urge to buy these cans!

Agreed, and that's from someone who owns modded mk2s.

Although there were some good points brought up. Many many many people will swap the pads out, but that will change the sound. It would take some modding to fix... ifyou don't nessesarly care about what the new pads will do, that's fine, but for us that do........ mk2s all the same

  The ones I listened to had a rubber strap for the headband.

Hey -- I looked at a picture I had taken and I apologize, they do have a padded headband.  To my bald head, it felt like rubber -- so once again, you're right, they do have a padded headband.

Hahahah that kinda makes it seem like the Mk3 padded headband isn't really that comfortable. Or is it?
