Hi, I have just got a set of these from Amazon , at a bargain basement price. I would fully agree with the review. I have Sony MDR1 MDR1A and Sony X1000M3. . I am picking up sounds from my standard CD derived flacs , that these other phones don’t get. The way it treats crisp transients is delightful .. all my music has just got more musical …

The only negative is that they are less comfortable than those Sonys

In reply to Andrew Bauer. I think the correct term is invested in rather than bought out hence they are still separate identities.

In reply to headfonics. Thanks for the prompt response. I just wonder why the Versionix web site isn't taken down if they were bought out by Mitchell & Johnson; if they are 'one and the same' then I imagine there should be only one web site (possibly with both company names as is sometimes seen when a company is bought out by another). Anyway I'll definitely visit a supplier to hear them. I miss the used STAX I bought as a student over 40 years ago.

In reply to Andrew Bauer. Verisonix started with their own product line but were bought out by Mitchell & johnson for better reach and more investment potential in the technology. I believe they are one and the same now.

Thanks for this professional and excellent review. Only one comment I read on amazon.com potentially spoils the wonderful news. Are these a re-labelled Tainwanese product? What is the connection to the Versionix N501 that looks identical except for the manufacturer’s name? Who makes this product – Versionix or mitchell & johnson? Because someone is pulling the wool over someone’s eyes. Please clarify this for the general public interest. Kind Regards.

Thanks for your insightful review of the MJ2 Marcus, I came to the same conclusions from my own listening tests. The MJ2 represents a great value in terms of its price vs its performance, its hard to find fault with it. :)
