So you did not like the 700 MK2. Could you explain why
Thank you so much
I owned L700, I also currently own L300LE, and I listened to L700MK2. My advice is L700MK2 is an upgrade to L700 in every way. L300LE while maintain L700 signature, they have less treble peak, more bass, wider sound stage.
Brightness: L700MK2 = L700 > L300LE
Sound-stage-size/depth: L300LE >> L700 >= L700MK2
Instrument-Size-Bigger: L300LE > L700 >= L700MK2
Accuracy: L700MK2 > L700 > L300LE
Refined-Treble: L700MK2 >= L700 > L300LE
Bass-amount: L700MK2 >= L300LE > L700
Bass-extension: L300LE >= L700MK2 > L700 (L300LE can goes really down with EQ)
Treble-Extension: L700MK2 = L700 > L300LE
Image: L700MK2 >= L700 > L300LE
Mid-forward: L700MK2 = L700 > L300LE
Details: L700MK2 = L700 >= L300LE
Value for money: L300LE (really you get 80% of 009/007 sound at 600$ !!)
Actually some L700 variants have very good bass and warm tone (z-reviews revision, some revision i heard in e-earphone akihabara shop)
If you are looking for warmer/wide-soundstage/more-bass/forgiving sound-signature get L300LE,
If you are looking for accurate/trebe-extension with bass/refined/more technical get L700MK2 (I think they sound like improved focal clear, or you can get that instead!! clear will have better dynamics but smaller sound-stage)
skip L700 because most variants fails in bass department ....
All differences are relative and L700 serial have similar signature, All from memory so YMMV
