The
RHA MA750's (i version is inline mic) are close. Only come with one cable, many tips, quality case and simply outstanding build quality. Sound is SLIGHTLY less warm than the P1. This was my best pair until my P1 purchase and I compared the two in my P1 review, here's the RHA excerpt:
"Lastly the RHA's are my most recent purchase prior to the P1's. These are the best built headphones I have ever owned, period. Yes limited data base, but still solid. Warm, dark and inviting the 750's are like that late night after party off the beach, and only the most hip and respected are invited to the after party. These are the after party. This is the pair you grab when you want to enjoy that fine single malt Scotch (pun intended since they are Scottish) deep into the night as the cool ocean breeze waifs over you. This is the pair, that not only represents the finest single-malt, they are held by the big log-throwing full bearded gent in the kilt. They do not hide their true identity. Warm, robust, slightly dark, and full. Spacious in stage, separate and complex in instrumentation, this is one heckuva pair. If there is a downside, and this is slight, they are a bit forward and bright for some music. Loud piercing vocals or rock can be a smidge, and I say smidge too much for long periods. Thankfully this is few and far between tracks I own. Until the P1's came along, this was my favorite pair."
My DUNU Titan 1's while very good, and crystal clear sound nothing like the two above, and sit in my backpack...I listen almost exclusively to the MA's and P1's.
The P1 is slightly fuller to me, a smidge more bass, and separation. I bought the RHA's in Amazon scratch-n-dent (absolutely nothing wrong with them, just the plastic form which held them...) for $62/shipped. I like them both.
Hope this helps.
