Out of all of those, which Fidelio do you like best?
My guess is L2 #2...
LOL, I've not actually opened L2 #2. I got it as a backup during the Newegg sale for $69. M1 MKII #3 is also a backup I picked up during that same sale for $39.
Honestly, it depends on where and what I'm listening to. At home, I think I prefer the L2. If I want a bit more bass, I grab the L1. I'd probably give the edge to the L2, but I really like both.
My original M1 had the ear pads split (which was somewhat common, hopefully my M1MKII's don't do that). The original M1 was very bass-y but I liked it for some types of music. The M1MKIIs are definitely better balanced, and are a nice on-the-go pair of L2-ish sound. I originally got my white M1 MKII when Amazon had them for $75. I liked them so much I got a pair of black/orange on sale for at home. The second black/orange pair I had intended on swapping the pads on my original M1, but I've not gotten around to it yet (like L2 #2, it's still in the box).
Oh, and BTW, on the M1, the pads just snap off. Kinda scary the first time I tried, but they were already split so it didn't matter as much if I broke them.
And if I could pick only one.... the M1 MKII. It has sound similar enough to the L2, but it's just a bit more versatile.
Also, at home I use a Magni 2 Uber with my PC, turntable, and cassette deck. On the go, I use my HTC 10.
