This just come to my head and I wonder which one should be better. Does M1ST, 7520 support 4.4mm balanced ? Guess the latter doesn't.
The MDR-M1ST should work with this cable (I'm not 100% positive), but it costs almost as much as the headphones themselves. Probably not worth it.Really ? Then I'm glad that I haven't purchased 7520 then. I have kimber 4.4mm + pha-2a and wish mdr-m1st would compatible with balanced connection.

Yep it'll work! And I'm curious to see what kind of changes you get from it. I just got a Kimber cable in the mail today to pair with my Z7 and it is legit. Like no longer need to EQ my Z7 type legit.I already have that cable heh heh. Just wonder if it would work.
Glad to know that. Worth added it to my collection.Yep it'll work! And I'm curious to see what kind of changes you get from it. I just got a Kimber cable in the mail today to pair with my Z7 and it is legit. Like no longer need to EQ my Z7 type legit.
I just received a M1ST and I have also a 7520 and CD900ST.
To my ears the M1ST is a happy middle ground between the CD900ST (which actually bought twice) and the 7520. The 7520 has better bass than the CD900ST but the tuning sounded rather distant which I suspect was aimed at making the 7520s sound like speakers. The M1ST improves on the bass of the CD900ST and achieves a good middle ground between sounding distant and the intimate feel of the CD900STs.
IMO the sound of the M1ST is good enough to do monitoring(sufficiently detailed) and mastering (sound field akin to a near field speaker), whereas both the 7520 and CD900ST are more like one trick ponies. Bonus is that the M1STs are lighter and more comfortable to wear for long sessions than the 7520s, and the clamping force is not as strong as the CD900STs.
Thanks ! M1ST is not available in my country so I've to get more information as much as I can.
Sony doesn't allow selling M1ST and CD900ST outside Japan. It is a JDM, Japan Domestic Market, item. Only exporters sell it outside Japan or like what I did shortly after release, used a proxy company to ship it to me. For me the Yaxi M1ST pads are a must-have. Eliminates the 8k peak (is that what it is called for sibilance?), which I call explosive tones. Let's use Phasmophibia, the game, they use the worst flashlight sound. No bass in the clicking sound and just high frequencies on purpose, I assume. So people like to spam it and harm players ears. With the pads in general, the soundstage is awesome. It won't have imaging like the Sennheiser HD600 but I never notice any issues when playing games and especially music where imaging is more noticeable, I do not often notice the lower capabilities for that.Thanks !
