I understand well hopefully sony finds the balance for even better iems at similar price range :D

plus pedronet posted impressions with the triple comfort buds which actually change the sound than the regular buds for making it a fair comparison , cause those seems to make the sound more bassy and not as clear  

for JustJoseph if you want that buy the xb90ex or the new xbs are also on par but the xb90ex are better and more trustworthy

Hello , i usually dont comment on forums but since this forum helped me a lot i thought i should share as well , just bought the xba n1 q in japan for about 2 weeks i could say after trying the n3 and n1 for numerous times but still thats not enough for to judge on n3 but my verdict on n1 coming...
