I wonder how the MW75 compares to the MG20. I have the MG20, and the 50mm beryllium drivers sound amazing! I am wondering if it's worth getting the MW75, too.
I haven't heard the MG20 at all, but the MW75 is worth picking up if you get a discount on it. I don't think the msrp of $599 is a fair price for this headphone. I got it for 30% off and am happy with that. IF I'd payed full price I would have sent them back.
not great ANC, weird tuning with a heavy emphasis in frequencies from aprox 50 hz-250 hz, with a lesser bump in freqs around 500 HZ.
The app doesn't have EQ, but does have presets. i experimented with all of these plus eq from my phone, and have found a sound I really like, and to me, shows what the drivers are fully capable of more so than any of the in app eq presets, which all seem to emphasize one sound characteristic over another, to the detriment of the over all sound.
With the main tuning as the default from the M&D app, I reduced 64HZ, 125HZ and 250HZ by 5 DB, then plus 1 on 32HZ, minus 1 on 500HZ, plus 1 on 1K, 2K plus 2 on 4K and 8K, then plus 3 on 16K.
To me this really smooths things out and opens up the sound in a unique but natural way. it still sounds like the MW75, but has a much better sounding bass across-the-board. The bass has great extention in this tuning and mids have the space to shine. Treble is sometimes a bit off still, symbals sometimes have a sound that is hard to describe, but i'm nit-picking at this point.
You may have read this further up in this thread, but some people use the MG20 pads on the MW75 because they are deeper and more comfortable. The MG20 pads won't magnetize to the MW75 though, which is why I've personally not picked a pair up.
I do wish the MW75 pads had more depth, but they are still worn for several hours without being annoying.
Hope this post helps in deciding whether or not to pick up the MW75. If nothing else, I say they're worth an audition if you have that option available.
