a 10 is not like the ultimate earphone, a 10 was the H3 on the Mac book and compared to that it was a 8 on my Dell @ Home. The soundstage is great, as I said, I turned around as I thought someone is talking to me and I was able to show the exact spot. I would say it is a bit dark. But does...

  there are at least two, me and the guy with the manga avatar (sorry, forgott your name I´m new to headfi). And as I think it is not possible to make a IE better then it is, but as there are a lot of possibillities to make them worse, I guess there is something wrong. Seal, source... they are...

they have both a really deep and punching bass. which you could not only hear, but also feel in your head. But nevertheless it does not sound forward to me. Its more like "cafe del mar" style to me. LMAO sounds really forward to me, in a sense that you would like to dance and get thrilled. As...

if you are talking about "speakers" as people who speak - yes. If you talk about speakers like loudspeakers - no (or maybe the loudspeakers I know are bad) for example, in that song with the background noises of talking people, at first I turned to the left, because I thought someone is...

So I am testing my XBA-H3 right now and I can not understand why some of you are disappointed. But like most IEs the seal is important and I guess the source is also affecting the sound. And maybe a source working for the XBA-3 is not working for H3. I try to first make a short conclusion of...

So today my h3 arrived even some days earlier. Ican not wait to test them but there are still some Russian scientists i have to entertain... too bad 

why has everyone a H1 right now? I ordered at sony the H3 and it will arrive on 29th, is the H1 faster or are the other countries faster?   PS: regarding the music, i love lindsey stirling, but theres one song which is even better: Chase and status- end credit

thank you for the reviews, I can´t wait to get them. I regret a bit, that I ordered the H3 as I can not belive they will sound even better then the H1 as you described it. but lets see...   immediate could be the right term, but actually its more the parts without any sound in between. For me...

it is the education store of germany. So the normal price will be 299€ and if you are a student, scientific employee, prof. you get 25% discount = 224,25€. Also there is a page called "qipu.de" when you register there and you go to the sony store by that page, you will get 6% of your money back...

I ordered the H3, too. For 224€ so 302$ or 189 GBP. Have a look in the education store of Sony. It should arrive on 29th of october and as I ordered directly at sony I guess you won´t get it anywhere else faster... Im totally excited, I never spent so much money on a earphone :-O

could you compare H1 to a former XBA iem? best would be the xba 3... I am curious about the bass, if it gets bloated due to the dynamic driver

that would be perfect, but I can either buy it this weekend for 210€ or afterwards for 299€

why are you so shure the h3  is an upgrade to xba40?

compared to the xba-3 better or worse? gets the bass bloat because of the dynamic driver?

I think ohmage means the resistance, which is 40 Ohms   I think I am going to buy them. As a scientific, i could order them right now for 210€ when I buy it before october 14th. So the bad news is I can not wait for reviews and it is possible, that in end of Oktober the price drops and I...
