XBA-3/ XBA-30 thread.

VSonic GR07 Bass Edition Impressions
Disconnekt nice assessment of the CKN70s. I also felt the midbass was a bit excessive and the mids needed more clarity. TripleFi tips have solved these issues for me. Bass is more linear now, and the sub bass on these is amazing indeed. Fantastic extension texture and body. The highs are smooth...- mugen3

XBA-3/ XBA-30 thread.
Quote: Nice to see you discovered the pure awesomeness that is the XBA-30s. I hastily said in the Discovery thread the CKN70s were my favorites, and that was rash. Admittedly I hadn't been listening to the XBA-30s much and was too focused on my new AT toy. But a member's PM got me to...- mugen3

Quote: The TripleFi tips are my favorite on the XBA-30s too. I am just loving these tips in general. They do a great job of unleashing the bass and taming the highs.- mugen3

Audio-Technica's Take on the Microdriver: ATH-CKN50 and CKN70
Quote: Read your thoughts on the Kanens. Interesting how they change the sound in some of the same ways the TripleFi tips do for me. But for me, the bore size matters. Most of my tips don't change the sound much, and they are all small bore. Except my TripleFis.- mugen3

XBA-3/ XBA-30 thread.
Agreed, I think there are more changes than that. Sony said they slightly changed the tuning. The 30s also have a larger stage and better imaging than the 3s. And a nice Y-cord instead of a J-cord.- mugen3

Audio-Technica's Take on the Microdriver: ATH-CKN50 and CKN70
Yeah the tips are quite pricey but they are worth it. I remember Dsnuts saying you should look for wide bore tips to open up the sound and that reminded me of my TripleFi tips. These have a huge bore wider than the CKN70s nozzle and fit perfectly. And boy do they open up the sound. I just...- mugen3

Audio-Technica's Take on the Microdriver: ATH-CKN50 and CKN70
Guys with the CKN70s, you must try out UE TripleFi tips on these. They change the sound so much, for the better. I was using Sony Hybrids before, and while they were better than the stock tips, I felt that the CKN70s sounded a bit congested and could've used a little more clarity and better...- mugen3

Buying portable or in-ear headphones? Seeking guidance? DON'T START A NEW THREAD. Ask for advice HERE!
Quote: Yep definitely. The XBA-30s have a very smooth and forgiving signature. Even at high volume they are hardly fatiguing and sibilance is rare. No part of the spectrum dominates the sound either, thanks to the carefully tuned balance.- mugen3

Quote: Never heard the R-50s but I know Joker gave it a 9.2, a score I would easily give the XBA-30s. I listen to a variety of music as well, including most of the genres you mentioned, and the XBA-30s play them effortlessly. They have a fun, balanced, spacious sound that just works...- mugen3

Quote: Agreed, the CKS77X won't be better than the CKS99, just right below it or on par (hoping for the latter as AT has been moving fast with their improvements). The old CKS77 needs an update to close the gap with the new solid bass and this is it. Quote: You know...- mugen3

Quote: +1. I'm sure the CKS77X will be awesome. AT just keeps getting better and better with every release. Hyped for the newest solid bass tech. Quote: Don't blast em too high, lol. If they're too loud to listen to, that is good enough.- mugen3

Audio-Technica's Take on the Microdriver: ATH-CKN50 and CKN70

Clip goes on the main cable. Also make sure that right cable goes really far around and over your shoulder. The part where the cable splits should be touching your neck. Your Sony Hybrids don't fit on the CKN70s? Strange, mine go on easily and fit perfect. Maybe you got fakes.- mugen3

Quote: Hey if you want a similar (and improved) sound check out the Sony XBA-30s. They have a great cable too, so you won't have any problems there. Costs more but you get a real premium complete package. I can't find any flaws with them, honestly.- mugen3

BA-200 vs EPH 100 vs FXT90 - Help Me Decide Please!
If over ear fit is an issue, you can cross out the BA200 from your list. Between the EPH100 and FXT90, you would like the FXT90 more. They have everything you want, especially the liveliness and energy that lets you feel the music. Compared to the FXT90, the EPH100 are laid back and not as...- mugen3

Quote: Yes please do. The ATH-CK90PROMK2 seems interesting in particular. It's a (relatively) old dual BA that seems to have been completely skipped over here, but it comes out on top over stuff like the XBA-30 and FXZ200? Sounds like a hidden gem that needs to be discovered! Not by me...- mugen3

[REVIEW] XBA-3 VS XBA-30 VS XBA-40
Great review. The new XBA deserve a lot of attention as Sony really stepped their game up. Now I'm wondering whether I should've gotten the XBA-40s instead of the 30s..- mugen3
