    I love me Xears BUT...

    Thanks it looks like im getting a pair of tridents :)   Ive tried deeper insertion but the seal breaks and they pop out. As far as the extension cable goes the top end of the cable annoys me too, the mic snags on my collar, the R part is too long and its too many wrongs for me.   Thanks...

    I love me Xears BUT...

    Thanks for the reply!   I tried to ignore the cord length but it becomes almost unusable for me and its such a shame because the N3i sound awesome! I think i will go for the tridents but with the V shaped sig i am slightly concerned about too recessed vocals and after using the TD100-iii i...

    I love me Xears BUT...

    Hello headfiers i need a bit of help. I have the n3i after my TD100-iii's broke (which i miss) and the sound is still great, lovely deep bass clear vocals and enough sparkle to keep me entertained but i am sick of using them. Im 6'1'' and the cable isnt even long enough to reach my iphone (4...

    Upgrade from Sennheiser CX300 II to Audio-Technica ATH-CKS70... good choice?

    Actually im very interested in the cks70. The bass sounds very appealing BUT how are the vocals on it?   Im using the Xears N3i and the sound fantastic, just i want more bass. The detail and clarity is great and vocals are pretty much perfect for me, just not enough bass at times.   Thanks

    The N3i are different. The TDIII have more emphasis on bass where as the N3i are more detailed with almost as much bass. Overall, the N3i are better for me, but I find the cable too short and the housings too large.    BTW, has anybody heard the TDIII and the silver bullets or Nuforce NE700...

    The cable seems A LOT more durable but is too short and is a J cord. But that may be down to the mic.

    My N3i's came in earlier today and they should definitley be considered if you want a bit more clarity and are willing to sacrifice a little amount of bass. The cable is much better and the housings have better strain reliefs and should last longer than the TD100-iii's. Great deal especially so...

    That doesn't surprise me. Go on their site and open up a chat with them and tell Thomas about your problem. He will probably tell you to destroy the iem (cut the cable by the housing) and email him a picture as proof with your address and he will send you a replacement

    Just bought monster turbine pearl

    Good to hear your new purchase! I believe the negativity is towards the beats range from monster. The turbine series are great and are respected here. I havent heard much about the pearls but i have heard the standard turbines and the coppers. I am very sure the pearls are a full step up from...

    Portable <$100 with good sub-bass

    Hey i have the xb700s and whilest they are great, the xb500s may be better suited for you. Basically a bit less clarity but more bass

    Xears Thread (formerly TD III)

    Hey ive had these for almost a month. They are absolutely fantasic. The bass extends as deep as atrio m8s (old driver), vocals are smooth and slightly forward and there is plenty of detail. No theyre not balanced but so fun; great for rap, hip-hop, dubstep and more. However build quality is a...

    Getting a new IEM, HJE-900 or the IE8

    Hello, I need a new IEM and ive narrowed it down to these two because of their great sound, sweet bass and great build quality.   I am aware that there are other IEM's that suit my requirements nicely but these two seem pretty perfect for me. What I need to know, is that the IE8's cost...
