Could be, or it could be the bass alone. Since we hear everything as a whole, adding more bass will affect everything else.
(this is what most people have to do, blind buy based on reviews.)

…and you have to dig out which of those “honest and objective” reviews is really honest and objective.

Yeah, which is the hard part. (although objective reviews does not exist, this is a subjective hobby.)

well, yes it’s the Xinhs Graphene 8 cores, and yes I like it more than the 560$ (!!!) stock cable… but I think this goes down only to personal preferences, I mean I can surely see and understand people who instead will like the stock cable over everything else, it’s just that to my ears (and yes, I’m deaf 
) the Xinhs sounds a little bit more dynamic and extended. peace and love and music with whatever cable you like

Yep if they slashed $500 of the MEST II price they’ed have a lot more buyers…Fact.
A bit like the Bird with it’s $2k PW 1960’s cable…a 1/3 of the price of the set

That cable probably cost them 5 usd lol. But yeah, removing 500 usd from the MEST 2 price would definitely get them a lot more buyers…

Definitely, perhaps we need to introduce them with Xinhs and their graphene cable

But as @Rikudou_Goku said it probably cost them what maybe ‘20-30’ bucks?..so if they reduced the price of the MEST by say $470 they’d need to sell a whole lot more to recoup all that lost profit margin?..also it becomes more affordable so loses that almost out of reach tier for many 
gotta love marketing spin.

Exactly, well said
Buy an open box/like new Mest Mk2 for 1.1k-1.3k, sell the cable for 350bucks, enjoy you tribid priced Mest.

Good lord the MEST of the guy who’s selling it where I’m at only bought it this April gaaaaaah if only I had the CASH to get iiiiiit
Relax. You’re just starting. Probably when you get the money for it, there will be a Mest Mk3
I know I know, I’m just being overdramatic
Still though, imagine someone near you was selling a essentially new MEST mkII and will happily meet up so you can demo it first for almost 2/3rds the price of a new one(with a possibility for negotiating the price down a bit more.
I’m more than happy and excited for the incoming TEA demo hopefully next week. And I’ll just pray that the MEST gathers dust on his shelf until I can afford them ahahahaha
I’ll get Mest by the end of the year, I’m trying stuff > selling > buying Mest.
Mangird Tea is best Tea. Everything will leave my box eventually, Teas will stay. If I had to sell it all for money atm, I’d keep Apple dongle / Cheap dap and Teas.
