What makes the sound difference between the three Fostex Headphones (Mahagony, Purpleheart and Ebony)? Only the wooden cups/chambers? Everything else is the same in/on the headphones?

PieceOfTauI've not the time to watch and follow endless discussions about whatever. and thank you for your unnecessary comment (: It seems a short "Yes" or "No" isn't enough these days.

MartinMcFlyWasn't trying to be a dick. My point was that it's undecided/unconfirmed.

PieceOfTauah, ok. Thank you. If someone owns both headphones (mahagony & purpleheart) it should be easy to find out. only swap the cups and test it ;) I guess the only difference is the wood.
