The angle of the shot makes them look bigger than they actually are (I think at least).  There are 6 drivers per iem

I love them.  Got them during Noble's black friday sale.  No regrets (although I do wonder how the K10s would sound).
 
Only thing I might change in the setup is upgrade the DAP.  My scroll wheel is a bit finicky on my X1.

I have the PHA-1, it's pretty good, to me a rather dark background and theres some depth to the music, compared to my fiio e07k which now seems rather hollow sounding

 
I have the E07k as well, but as a  stand alone amp it seems to perform a little lesser than the X3's own internal amp. 
When you are giving the sound comparison above, is it when being used as USB DAC+amp or as standalone amps connected to LO of your player?
 
Thanks

Very interested to know what you think of the ALO Rx.

I was between the Noble 6 and JH Angie....... Ended up with Angie. Talk about large IEMs. More like Frankenbolts!

Now please update me on the latest TOTL whatever. I have lost track of them given my commitment to other hobbies. That said, any head-fi'ers are enjoying the audio path totally free of caps?

Just received the Xiamoi Pistions 3rd Generation, now I'm thinking about replacing my Koss PortaPro with Sennheiser HD25-1 II..... This is a never ending battle.


If you have the cash I would go for the HD25-1 II's! I love the looks of them and the amperior. But they are quite the money so I settled for the JVC HAS500Z. Apparently they are great in bass. Getting here tomorrow cannot wait. Enjoy those pistons, I've heard mixed reviews so far on them. They look nice though.
