I'm not really a believer in burn in to be honest so I don't think they are going to sound any better. That said in my honest opinion these are much better in comparison to the XBA-3's. I bought a pair that were basically brand new for 75 usd which is an incredible price but even at 75 dollars...

Well I finally received my TTPOD's.   Only spent about 30 minutes listening to these puppies so far but so far I'm very pleased.   It's nice to finally be able to listen to metal and rock again but also having the ability to listen to EDM. My pair of Xba 3's which retailed at 300 usd...

Order a pair from penon audio on nov 11 and since nov 18 it says it's been sent to canada but tracking is unavailable. should I be worried?

How would these compare to say the Sony XBA-3's? I lost my pair a while ago and have been since looking for a replacement. Currently I use my sony xb 500's that use 40 ohms of power but I'm able to drive it plenty loud with my samsung s3 so I don't think the T1-E will have any problem getting...

Well.. xba 3's have enough bass for me. I spent 75 dollars on a pair that were used but in great condition still, Must say I love them.

I've had tried both and I can say I prefer the s500's... I returned my hd 25's, Way too expensive and lacked bass (for me) They were a great sounding phone, but not worth 200 dollars...

Quote: I don't think the mh1's are even close to my xba 3's... I love my xba 3's to death, I put my mh1's in and I just feel sad :(

Quote:   Have you actually heard the xb500's? Doubt it. Shutup, It's electro and dubstep who the **** cares about highs and all that stupid ****. He wants wub wub, get xb500's.  

Quote: You don't need to spend money to get good results, Is all I'm trying to say. Spend if you want to, But you won't be buying anything like the xb500's...

I had a pair of dt 770 80s as well and ended up selling them... They are a lot comfier but if bass is what you after xb500 all the way my friend :)

Just get a pair of xb500's and save yourself 250 dollars lol   They are seriously epic if you love bass :)

Quote: It's too late, I got a pair of xb500's instead. Lol :P

Quote: Mines defective at times, I have to unplug and reconnect it because it just disappears from my sound list. Also when I go to my recording options in sound it just completely freezes unless I disable the dac. Other than that, It's fantastic for 49 dollars. Took like 3 weeks...

Quote:   Yeah, If you're a basshead the last thing you would want to do is stick hm5's. I learned the hard way :s

I just gotta say, Been using these iems for a month or so daily for travel. I use them with the white silicone tips from my s3 galaxy, The stock tips are rubbish imo, all of them. The sound these produce still leaves my jaw dropped at points, For 75 dollars It's outstanding the detail...

Haha, It makes all of us just tilt our heads like a dog learning a new trick.  

jesus ******* christ... 50 dollars? what a steal  

Just got a samsung galaxy s3 today and it sounds fantastic with my xba3's.  

I don't find them lacking in bass at all.

I just have to bump/edit this. Spent a bit of time just listening to these and I must say I am truly impressed now. I managed to get them for 75 used off amazon, They arrived with everything but the original box and they are in brand new condition. I don't even think they had an hour of...

Well. I just edited this post. Okay, they work fine. Not really blown away by them, But nice for sure sound wise. The design is dumb though, I have to put them upside down with the smallest ear pieces to make them fit properly.

I wish RPGwizard was around still, he would explain.

xb500>xb1000. Don't make the poor person waste 200 when he can spend 70 for better.

They are on ear. If you really want over ears I wouldn't bother with the s500's personally.  

xb 500... By like a million miles
