It's not listed in amazon.co.uk, and only one store in Aliexpress has it for $50. Is that the reasonable price?

Here you go:

Sorry to hear.

New job, so won't have time to run it anymore.

That's good then. I know you've been looking - congrats!

That's better than a silver lining!

Is anyone here using the **** 6 in 1 XBA? I just received my pair yesterday, and listened to them for a couple of hours with just the stock triple flange tips. In general, they sound quite good. At least brand new, there is some congestion in the upper mids, particularly when handling massed strings. Also, I listened to a couple of Sia tracks, and the upper mids are a bit artificial sounding in spots. I think some burn in and different tips will probably help that a lot. Other than that, they sound pretty balanced. Source was just my Nexus 6p, but I run the Ainur audio software on it (Sauron, with the Dirac add-on). I was using Neutron as the player.

So, my general overall impression was quite positive. I also listened to some Coldplay, live from the Albert Hall, Shostakovich Symphonies 1 and 7 (Chicago Symphony / Bernstein) and a little bit of Yes, Magnification.

Yeah, I listen to these quite often and like them for the unique soundsignature they give. Burn in will open the sound a little cause I don,t feel they are congested, the just lack a little deepness and clarity to became perfection. Really, try to listen to bassy music and use perhaps a silicone eartips that can go deep in ear, triple flange can stole some bass and mids IMO.

Thanks for the reply. Oh, there is plenty of bass for me, at least. The problem is that the higher mid range starts running together at certain times. It sounds like sibilance, but a a little lower frequency than I normally associate with sibilance. For example, the choruses on Sia's I'm Alive shows this. Because of that, the sound gets kind of artificial sounding. I have a bunch of other tips on the way. The packaging I got was just the phones, the triple flange tips and a set of small, medium and large silicone tips. I tried the medium silicone tips, but like the triple flange better.

Oh, I forgot to mention that one of the things I listened to was Steve Hackett - The Total Experience Live in Liverpool. There is a track call Shadow of the Hierophant that has a ton of synthesizer bass pedals on it. I also checked using the Bink Audio FLAC Test tones - I can hear the 10hz tone with these phones. I cannot hear that one on my Fostexes.

Just listen to the Alive track here trough Ibasso DX90 dac:


And, I think I understand what you say, cause she have a very high pitch voice and when she sing ''im (ssssss)still breathing'' little hissing in background voice can occur.

It do it (more subtle) with Agnes Obel song too:


Lot of my iem can do stuff like this, earbud too....but now I feel I will became obsess by this devil details cause it doesn't really bother me before, i feel 6in1 are better with electro and instrumentals in general.

Now, I try with male vocal with Timber Timbre:


I feel the ''problem'' occur less with male vocal. Quite natural sounding here.

Mine I think were defective, I have no bass at all, and the treble I just can't stand it's sibilance, but they do sound kinda good with a couple of tracks at low volume.
Overall disappointed with them, gonna try to sell them soon at it's original price, as I paid only 30 USD hahaha, but I just think my pair is defective, I don't discourage anyone to try them.

What???
Yeah, I really think they are defective mate, sorry to hear this....no bass at all is the opposite of the real sound of XBA 6in1

This sounds stupid, but check to make sure the headphone jack is fully seated in your source. Mine was unusually hard to completely seat, which is a good thing from a secure connection standpoint, but a bad thing from a sound standpoint if not fully seated. I could still hear both channels, but they did not sound good at all until I checked and completely seated the connector.

Man that is good looking. I'm going to be all over that. I'm hoping (and assuming) that's it's going to have a nice airy sound and wide soundstage with that large open grille!
