I'm not an expert, I've only had a Sennheiser CX300, a Philips 9850 and my lovely Hippo VB. Since now, I like the presentation, highs are better than in the Hippo, but I'm not very satisfied about sub-bass and mid-bass region. The first one was better in the Hippo by far: more natural, more...

Finally my XP3 arrived! So I think I'm the only Italian with this IEM (and one of the few European). Now it's time for burn-in, they sound a little bit muddy out of the box, but this is normal.  

Yep, Jaben. I've tried, but they haven't answered yet. But they have already give me the money back  

They have cancelled my order telling me that they don't sell outside Asia...  

XP3 sound perfect! Sometimes my Hippo VB offered too much basses, but I really don't want to buy a pair of IEM without good sub-bass. Thank you for the suggestion, I think I'll give a try.  

Swimsonny, how are the XP3 in comparison with Hippo VB? I loved their sub-bass, but they've just broken. Could you compare these with Yamaha EPH-100 too?

Hello, I'm looking for a good pair of IEM with excellent isolation under 100€. Now, I had a pair of Philips 9850 but I didn't like their sound, no basses at all and close soundstage (IMHO) and a Hippo VB that I love but the isolation is quite poor. I found that the mc5 have dynamic drivers, so...

So, my problem: I own a pair of philips 9850 and a hippo VB. I can say that i'm very happy with my hippo, but they sound too much "relaxing" when i listen to my favourite bands, acdc and led zeppelin. On the other side, philips (that lack of bass and sub-bass) are very agressive with elettic...

Hi, it's a month or more that i'm searching the frequency response of my hippo vb, but i can't find it anywhere. Have somebody seen it?

Sorry, double post

Hi, it's my first time here; I'm looking for something like a DAC/amp that can read SDHC. I'm not searching an intere Hi-Fi system, only a compact "thing" that can read mp3 or flac from the card and make sound well my headphones. If it has a usb to plug my pc, it will be fantastic. Is it...
