In japan they are not selling the xba 10-30 anymore so I cant compare. What i did is to compare it with my old xba-3, and I think the xba 3 is a better iem overall due to it s better equalization ("v shape"-ish). my only compain with the xba-3 is about the stupid cable design. But def I never...

Recently I was looking for a new universal iem and did a lot of listening on the xba-100 on yodobashi camera japan. As a reference for Iem, i had an se 535, um2 and x4i. Currently I have a JH5, xba-3 and a heaven 4. My 2 cents: The housing is really beautiful, of this sony s 2014 line, it...

Since I am living in Japan, I got excited for this news so I did some quick research about the topic and found this article which also comes to answer some of this thread answers http://www.phileweb.com/sp/news/audio/201410/25/15121.html -the interview was done with Matsuo san from Sony s...

Guys, if u think the custom one studio picture is a nice one, u def should come to Japan, the market here is very rich with good options, some of them even better! Of course I am talking about the headphones(￣▽￣)

I always liked the sound of the T50p, although the lack of mids and strong but not so defined bass the definition and treble was nice, kinda unique combination, fast u shaped headphone. But I always had problem with the pads, since I use glasses, after a while my ear was in pain, hope they fixed...

Hello guys,   http://www.phileweb.com/news/d-av/201305/11/33020.html   Since I didnt find any information here about this announcement from Beyerdynamic in Japan (11th may 2013), I started this thread. The link has a lot of pictures so it is easy to understand, but just in case I did...

Quote:   Uhhh the first time i heard it in yodobashi yokohama i had the impression that the 4 sl was more clear too! I understand what u mean! But i think that, in my case, it was because the ear tip wasnt the right size!   But i didnt burn in in mine, maybe it will change! I will...

Man, Joohunta, thanks for ur post! totally agree   forgot to say this too! I listened a lot the TF10 before buy my SE535 (actually it was my first option due to the price, but for me, as I walk a lot with my IEM, the fit are important, therefore I bought the shure) and I should say that I...

forgot the picture

Since I dont know why, the stock sony stock eartip (and the Monster and Jays stock eartip too) makes a very painful pressure in my right ear when I put it, I just bought today comply foams to my 3SL! Realized that since the eartip is the same as the EX500, the T-200 would fit well, and voila...

I think maybe my definition of "cold" was more related to the IEM being analitical....I cant associate very well the term warm and cold like people here use, especially because I associate sound with light, and the low frequency light is blue....so in my instincts, bass=blue=cold and...

uhhhh   I would say more like dark signature! because as I said, the mids and highs are very clear too and the bass is still tight.   But definetly more basshead than the 3SL and much more than the SE535. but still not as strong as the PRO700MK2 or the cks90 (sorry, the only two basshead...

Man, I want to buy an AMP....loved the iQube and some iBasso....but here in Japan all this headphone market was too inflated! So I didnt buy anything for months! now it seems that the prices are being adjusted...u see a lot of headphones cheaper now....but I still wanna buy a T70p, so I kind of...

No DAP.....Straight from my classic....but all Apple lossless or AIff burned from the CD   I forgot to mention this too....the impedance of the 4SL and 3SL are different too....u can notice this changing the from one to another, the 4SL has a slighty lower volume than the 3SL....I think when...

Yeah, I just noticed now! You are right, is SE535.....I always mistake because of the SRH440......   Fixed!

ahhahaha sorry, maybe I emphatize too much the bass thing on the 4SL....sure is not that strong...... my ATH-PRO700MK2 its much more stronger.....   I remember that at that time that I was testing, I was testing a CKS90 too....its bass makes the XBA 4SL ashamed....like the XBA 4SL maks my...

After some research, I found that on the Canal Works web site, there are a few recommended audiologists, well, this time I asked to a Japanese friend call then ("tokyo hearing" in this case) and explain my case all in japanese, and it looks like that if I go to a doctor, and get a prescription...

Hey Guys,   I know that this won't change anything, but I just want to share my history with people that can understand.   I am Brazilian, but I am living here in Japan, studying now, and I will stay here at least for a while. Well, I bought a SE535 and I decided that it was time to move...

Hello,    Does anyone know which audiogist famous Japanese artists, such as Shiina Ringo and Aiko go?

After a little research, this is what I found:   -Yahoo Auctions: U can find a lot of very good deals of used headphones, but they are more spot, so u need to look often, and since generally speaking the japaneses are very careful with gear, the conditions of the headphones are very good...
