Hey ghost nice impressions, how does the GR07 Bass Editions compare to the FXZ200s???
 
WoW it is kinda interesting that you place them next to the CKN70s instead of the FXZ200 tbh.
 
O.O

That came out of nowhere haha
 
Actually all three are at around the same level of excellence.
 
The gr07be and the ckn70 are more similar in that they have a balance signature whereas the fxz200 are more bass forward, certainly it has the most bass of the three but it's mids and treble lack behind the other two.

I just did the "filter mod" suggested by mochill on xb90ex. well, I got what he promised - highs are sparklier and I like it. the sound became a little bit more detailed,  and it still has excellent natural timbre (I was afraid I'd lose it). also It became airy. oh, and as a safety measure, I used woman pantyhose stretched over the bore held by pure tension from the tip stems as a filter to protect these babies.
 
thanks mochill :)

Coolios that's all i wanted to hear, now was that so hard.

Hmmmm that is pretty interesting that the GR07 Bass Editions sound more like micro/ CNT drivers of the CKN70s than the 3X dynamics of the FXZ200s. I have always thought those GR07s were closer to the FXZs in sound, you comment regarding the mids/ highs is interesting as well. Good stuff ghost.

But wait until the GR07BE's  layers of bio-cellulose membrane driver get their 300 hours worth of bad ass burn in. Then simply magic...

My Sony MDR-XB90's arrived today, its got the Sub Bass, just like my XB41's, not noticed any difference yet, probably needs burning in? (My XB41's have had a lot of use)
 
So far one thing is for sure, I really miss the clarity and treble you get with the XBA 3/4, the downside being they lack sub bass. At least now I know I've spend about £80 (Inc express delivery) and they are good for the price, the XBA 4 was £230 and that's the main thing I wasn't too happy about and that it lacked bass. I hope Sony release a XB XBA series, I'd buy those straight away,
 
Oh and excellent service from AccessoryJack, dispatched my order within a few hours, arrived within 2 working days, packaged very well.
 
 

 
I did take a few more pictures but it looks like they didn't capture properly.

they need burning in. lots of it! oh, and try to experiment with tips. wide bore tips are much better for xb90ex in terms of openness and detail...

Thanks for the comparisons and initial impressions.  Not a "WOW" sounding iem then? Will burn in really have the much of a significant effect?  I heard the Senhheiser IE8 changes quite a bit with burn in, but there aren't many "audiophile" review of this Sony xb90ex model.
