Months in...with Sony MB90EX driven with Sony A-17 (via line out) + portable amps...

And I am still quite amazed at how good it sounds.

I came from a big, hot, heavy, "tied to the mains" desktop tube amp, and full sized Sennheisers.

The enjoyment of this much fidelity while enjoying portablity, has really been an incredible eye (and ear) opener.

I also enjoy Talan7's suggested "Radius HP-NHR-21", anytime I need extreme portability, to plug directly into the Sony A-17 player's headphone jack...is has top notch fidelity, also.

Thank you to the posters' in this thread!

If you want to try the 31, (removable cables), I could send you those myself. They are too sensitive, more sensitive than the 21's, but balanced they really open up. I would send stock and balanced cables. I'm not listening to them right now as I'm enjoying my new phantom sabre's. Got the new phantom master on the way in the future.

yo guys, 2 questions
 
1. Chord mojo is enough to make the mdr 7550s fully shine ? 
2. I still got the stock cable does a custom made one affect the sound at all or is it only because it looks and feels better ?

 Mojo has plenty of power. I used it to compare the ex800 and ASG 2.5 at the same time since it has dual Headphone outs. It was pushing them both well past safe levels. it is plenty
 
Stock cable is a horrific spider nightmare of misery. I used a via blue sleeve to fix that. New cable will look pretty and maybe fit better...maybe. No sonic changes

Which IEM will be best for sub 60 and extremely bass and treble heavy without AMP/EQ?


haven't used any, too cheap to make such demands. No bass iem has nice treble unless you build one with bassy drivers and treble ba
