make sure you get the StayHear+ ....they're newest edition.

honestly, I just superglued them haha. I can always pull them off if I want and there would probably be just a little residue thats all.

Hey guys,      I love my Sony XBA-4's and have been using them for at least 6 months now. The soundstage suits my needs perfectly I just wish they would isolate a little but more (albeit they isolate exceptionally) and say in my ear better during workouts. As I was looking for a cheap solution...

Minimal isolation increase, I took them out due to fitting issues.

Yeah! Here they are with my Sony Walkman F Series:                                     

Nobody...

For whatever reason, the soundstage sounds different, good different (more dynamic and energetic). I don't know if i am experiencing some sorta placebo but just an observation. I like the tips and the isolation is fine, not better than my previous foam Sony tips though I admit.

I got the new Bose StayHear+ Tips because of the better isolation they are supposed to deliver and staying in my ear while I workout. However, I did not realize the only fit to Bose IEMs. So I had to 'adhesive" them to the IEM, but I can always take them off if I want and then further added a...

Does anybody else have trouble connecting to bluetooth speakers? I have a air a bt speakers and they do not show up on my F player. Any ideas? thanks,

This!

Quote: Your point is well taken. I think, however, with with DAPs like iPods that do not have any "special" software, the situation is a little different. Nevertheless, I gotcha. As for my Walkman, it is running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) .

Quote: Maybe that is not the case with iPhones but I know with iPod Touch it is, at least I am 90% sure it is.

Quote: haha yeah I wanted an "audiophile dap" but not one with a nonexistent dysfunctional UI.

Quote: I am also hoping this Walkman will last me a long time because Apple makes their devices so that they begin to break down after a year or two. For example, after a year or so you cannot update to the newest software on Apple devices but that maybe the case with Sony too. But your...

Quote: Potentially, but I got this 32gb Walkman for around $200 while a 32gb iPod Touch goes for $300. Moreover, and iPod does not have the equalizer capabilities, sound capabilities, etc. capabilities that this Walkman does. I am content with my Walkman.

Quote: So you can download apps that take more advantage of your device and thereby saving more battery by managing stuff that would usually be out of control.

It is incredibly easy. My Walkman is not really running iOS 7 but operates as so (if that makes sense). Because the Walkmans OS is Android you can just go to the GooglePlay store and download themes, do a little tweaking, and you got it! No jailbreaking like on Apple players. Here are more pics...

My Sony Walkman F Series running iOS7 pictured alonside my Sony XBA-4SL (the synergy betwen the XBA-4 and Walkman F800 is a match made in Heaven) and Philips Citiscape Uptown. Rig: Walkman F Series: Philips Citiscape Uptowns: Sony XBA-4SL:

For those of you that have the XBA-4, what do you find is the best way to wear them? I have the XBA-4SL if that matters. Has anybody tried wearing them over the ear using ear guides? If not, how do you guys think that would work?

Has anybody rooted their Walkman F? 

Quote: Make sure you did not get a fake.

Quote: There is roughly a $100 price difference so I would say the 1964's may be a bit more "polished" and perfected stylistically/visually and maybe sound wise but other than that the sound is probably pretty similar. Another member noted Cosmic Ear's BA3 is just the CIEM, meaning it is...

Quote: I just got my XBA-4SL and boy do they sound sensual paired with my Walkman F! I would recommend this setup the synergy is spot on.  @Miguo67, I am going to give Noozxoide a try, thanks. (nevermind, it is not compatible )   in Addition, when you wear them flipped (cable around...

Anybody?
