Maybe I should add in something to make them more easily comprehensible, since I am on and off helping with the Mylars bulk and some asked me this question but I am unable to answer them until yesterday's long hour listening session, changing amps and sources etc.

My conclusion is: Mylar3 is more for the casual guys who don't wanna bring a bulky amp attached to their player, which means portable wise, it's the best choice. It isn't very picky on the sources but it will improve exponentially if it's given good ones.
Whilst in contrary, Mylar XB, the extended bass version does have more quantity of bass. If you think that's more for those "feng tou" guys (Trance, heavy metal, crazy xyz tracks whatsoever tongue.gif), it is. But I sense its potential if you listen to it hard. You are able to discriminate it has slightly bigger staging and the details are hidden.
Yeap, you need a powerful amp to drive it. Amp it, the staging is bigger than M3, and the details is OUT from the background. Slightly brighter signature than M3 if you notice.

Now I am not saying that M3 is bad, as yuheng said before, it's like comparing apple and orange, the difference is not so obvious if you don't listen to them carefully. And you gotta choose between these two signatures. Just that mylar xb has more amping capabilities (of course with a real good amp).

M3 bass is a gentler type. M2 has more quantity. Amp it will make the quantity of bass tighter, which's the quality bass.

hehe thanks for the nice review by all forumers here.. been thinking to get one, and as usual, im still undecided yet which one to go, M2 or M3 (because i listen to all kind of songs tongue.gif).. actually i own an IEM, but it's jenssen's cx300 (for those who knows what does it mean sad.gif ), but still it serves me well for these days.. but been thinking to get one, dunno got chance to audit them one by one like lucky kaikaittan anot hehe..

@walabies : i want to go to your house too!! hehe..

sorry for being off topic..but can you elaborate more on how does the HD600 and HD650 has different sound signature? very interested to know smile.gif
*
Our (Me and Yuheng) are totally prefer HD650. So our comments maybe not true. HD650 is more natural to us, and the music is like liquid~flowing through your spine, very soothing experience. I know you got a HD580, sorry to comment that 580 is more sterile, bit of boring to us, (price matters smile.gif). And ya, sorry the HD600 isnt burned in, but we just dont like the signature. icon_rolleyes.gif

SOB** SOB** SOB**

Im so sad...
I bought M2... SOB** SOB**

Just now I tried my burned in for 12hrs M2... with my Prodigy 7.1LT in my office, using the headphone out... SOB**SOB**

It sounds so much better than the normal front out or Ipod headphone out. While it sound darker than M3, it managed to bring out the details (you know la, those ting ting kla kla background like instruments sound) which were missing previously when not used with an amp. Not only that, the boomy bass become more solid and punchy. SAD!!! However I din notice any significant increase with the soundstage. More or less the same. Now do I want to buy an amp or not?? SAD*** SOB****

BTW, the harsh sound on loud volume that I complained, mysteriously disappear when using headphone out on Prodigy. I guess it bcome less apparent cos unlike when un-amp, the details does a bit of cover up for it i guess...

M3 although I didnt manage to get a proper impression on it due to the source, but my initial impression is pretty good. It sounds great if you like easy song where it focus primarily on the details, vocals or instruments (except bass)... it sound a bit airy which would be less fatique when used for long hours...

You dont need to be sad after the purchase...

Hi, im just wondering..which affordable amp would be recommended to bring M3 to its full potential? would LDM+ or PA2V2 be sufficient?

Not, you better keep it unamped. The good home amps like Beyer A1 etc will only drawn out it's potential, which cost about 2.7k last time.

If the creaking sound comes when you put the earphone in or when you pull it out, changing a new one wont help. It maybe due to improper fit, or your ears are a bit structural different from others tongue.gif. But if it's creaking whenever the music is playing, it's under warranty.
