Havenāt tried it on any amp that makes them brighter, but I would say yeah not a good idea to use anything of the warmer or colored category amps least not in my opinion

Youāre kinda making me want to get something like the RNHP, even though, like you, Iām really not a fan of the look of it, lol. I do like what I hear with the Jot2, but like you said, Schiit amps are known to color the sound.
I canāt make any comparisons to a ācleanerā amp like the RNHP, but on the Jot 2, if Schiit is ācoloringā the sound then so be it, itās a color I enjoy.

I always enjoy reading the contrarian opinions. As someone who has not taken plunge into the $1000+ segment. Its nice to read both sides. I wrote a recently wrote a post describing my journey into a %90 end game build. In your opinion what are some headphones to consider in this price point?
@Resolution & @alphamarshan since we share the same chain, you guys have convinced me to order the MG pro. I found an open box deal on Moon audio. Also ordered a Blue Dragon 10ā cable as well. The 5ā I just got is just to short for my needs and will be for sale once I receive the 10 footer. I do like the cable a lot or I wouldnāt have ordered another.

Have there been confirmations the clear MG pro and clear MG are in fact the same headphone? I have heard some reviewers stating āfocal says they are but I canāt confirm yetā, but I havenāt seen any testing on it yet.
Not a lot of differences here

They are not. One is black and the other is brown. One comes with a 3.5mm and XLR balanced cables and no extra earpads. The other comes with a 3.5mm and 1/4" coiled cable (most pro audio gear incorporates this connection type) with extra earpads. There are additional cosmetic/finish differences as well.

Just one more reason I went with the Pro (black is my favorite color). I already have 3 aftermarket balanced cables for FOCAL headphones. The extra pads are much more important to me than an extra crappy FOCAL cable that Iād replace anyway (although the new cables are slightly better than the erlier generation). $200.00 ear pads are pretty ridiculous I must say.

I think what @Joost_Eijkenboom means is are they the same in terms of their sonic performance and tuning, to which the answer is yes. They are aesthetically different, and the accompanying accessories are different, but they sound the same according to Focal.

I know, I agree.
I know, I agree.
I was having a little fun. I donāt know how many times it has been stated here and around the internet that the Clear MG and Clear MG Pro are the same headphone. Just as the OG models were.
I was pressed and pressed about this on YouTube last night where someone wanted proof that this is the case since they didnāt want it to be true. So Iām a bit sensitive to this whole thing right now.
ONCE AND FOR ALL EVERYONEā¦ THE CLEAR MG and CLEAR MG PRO ARE THE SAME HEADPHONE!

If it werenāt for the fact that Iād cry after doing it, Iād sent you my pair of non-Pro so you a/b them side-by-side and use that as definitive proof to for people, lol.
Iām more concerned that the actual manufacturer of the headphone says theyāre sonically the same but that doesnāt seem to be sufficient enough evidence for a lot of people lol.
āI mean they say that but has anyone tested it?ā
