Default K-05Xs vs K-03x

Has anyone out there compared the K-05Xs to the K-03x.

I'm Interested in how close the sound is.

I owed a K-03x before and can't afford the new K-03Xs.

Interesting that they have both the K-03X and K-03Xs listed on their website.

I can't help but wonder if the question this time next year will be how these two compare to the then introduced K-07Xs2.

I'm so very pleased with the sound produced by my K-03X. It is superb.

Agreed on the sound, really miss it. Made the mistake of selling it to upgrade some other gear. I was hoping the trickle down effect would make the K-05Xs a contender.
