This is a fantastic review I waited for a very long time! Being a sony fan for many years, I got the xba4 pretty early. At first the sound is pretty bad to my ears, very disappointed. However, after some time, the sound improved and in such a unique way different from most earphones I have. I...

Just tried the LP2, bass heavy headphones indeed. But other than that, not impressed. Hope the M100 can present more details and more tremble.

Great to see that most of us like IEMs more for portable use. I like the dt1350 for the sound and they look beautiful alone. But due to their deep barrels, I just found myself look stupid wearing them and definitely would not use these in public situations. the hd25s have shallower barrels and...

buy from a reputable private seller on the forum or ebay, amazon, ask if they can claim as gift for certain amount to avoid your import tax. It sounds like cheating on the system but all other people are doing this.

For portable solutions, which system provide better sound quality and portability? both factors considered. I recently compared DT1350 and JH13 with cowon - ibasso T3. My feeling is that JH13 provides better sound quality, more portable and lower-profile in public. For music on the go, I...

get a used HD600 with a budget dac/amp.

Quote: I second that, maybe the unit I have is somewhat defective? Small manufacturers sometimes have varieties for one product.

Then amazon bumped the price.

Thanks for the information, I will try to burn them in and tolerate their sound longer. Otherwise you guys will see them in for the for sale board shortly. LOL.

Crap! I actually got a pair of xba4 and they sound NOT GOOD, worse than my TF10. Yes, very very dark and bass heavy, lacks highs and mids. Not very detailed.  way less efficient than tf10. How could this be, I wish to had gotten the ex1000.

I probably would never go Vegas again, LOL. for obvious reason. Any headifer happens to go there might go the sony store to try, the price of the z1060 if I remember correctly is 399, cheaper than amazon price.

Quote: I know it is not a fair comparison against much more expensive IEMs. But R20 is just way worse than tf10 and a couple of other IEMs I have. The R50 is probably much better, however, I would not invest that much to try.

Quote: I got one pair, listened for about 5 minutes and decided would never use them again, just typical bad earphone sound to me.

Just had a chance to audition this combo in Sony store of Vegas forum shop. I would say they really surprised me. The sound is superb almost in any categories. Even though the XB phones are naturally bass focused, I must say here is some serious bass I have ever heard, which goes deep and...

You can go for the ear-clip headphones then you will have many more choices, for example Koss ksc75.

I heard people use radios to burn in headphones.

I just got  a pair of R20, they sound crappy...

I would like to get a pair of best IEMs and found these currently have most drivers. There does not seems have a comparison between these. 

How are these comparing with the Super tips.

It is really good to see new high quality IEMs coming from China.

I wish my HD650 were as sexy as those butt-naked girls.

Thanks for the great review and recommendation. This one is officially on my list to check out.
