For some background, I have a decent collection of audio gear and have been a music lover for over 20 years (since age 10).It was'nt until about 5 years ago that my interest in audiophilia elevated to where spending more than the average dollar for better sounding music was no big deal for me

I happen to prefer metal music (and lots of rock), but I really listen to lots of diverse genres as well, and nothing sounds bad through these MK3's at all

Hope springs eternal in the pursuit of excellent sounding music.

Mid-bass usually represents the meat of most instrumental music and drums..the MK3 handles it so, so well

"No modifications required"Audiophile quality on the go when connected to my Hidiz AP100 high resolution portable music player

Simple podcasts and talk to reall good music

I'll start with music, the sweet, sweet music.

And if you are an audio professional with many years of pre and post mastering music experience that you also always utilize double blind testing to confirm your findings your opinion is closer to the truth than the opinion of other people

But for now, I am thoroughly enjoying my music with the set up of an iPhone 6 plus, Macbook Air, Oppo

What I can tell you is that I chose this because most phones I researched could offer you either good music or good gaming, not both.

I love gaming first, but wanted a headphones that could play music beautifully as well.

That means a high dumping factor (>200) speaker amp delivering 50 Watt RMS into 8 OHMS s capable of driving loads down to 2 Ohms and then delivering 100 Watts
