I got it today ! my impressions: Well , IMO the sony mdr ex500 is better, the XBA-10 has clarity but the sound isnt "Airy" as the EX500 and the bass is also lacking a little bit. It has more of a mellow/sweet sound to it , I'll keep using it , maybe I'll get used to this kind of sound...

Thanks for the reply ! :) I'll kinda leap of faith and buy the XBA-10! It'll be my second IEM(sony mdr-ex500 was my first one).   My first impressions here as soon as I get it !

I can only choose between one of these headphones What do you guys think ? Opinions ?   Shure would be a little bit more expensive but I wouldnt care that much if the sound quality is somewhat better.

Do you have any idea if the MDR-EX510 is like the EX500 ? Its cheaper and it doesnt look as fragile as the EX500.   I dont really like cans cause I not home 90% of the time , so I cant fully enjoy them and I dont really have that much money to spend on expensive headphones but wow , I was...

I'm a real beginner when it comes to headphones. My first IN EAR was an MDR-82 (or EX 56, cant remember well) that came bundled with a sony mp3 player. I thought it was really good and loved it , until it stop working(really thin cords), after that I bought a crappy phillips in ear thinking...

=( , I don't have the money to buy expensive headphones right now. (V-moda vibe is expensive where I live(brazil)) my father lives on japan, so I could get JVC's easily. well , how are JVC's compared to the other brands ?

I like to hear clearly the harmonics/chords of jazzy guitars and I also like to hear the groovey bass that comes along with it.. hmmm , I like having the sound "on my head" too. the headphones I have access now are : Sennheiser CX300 Creative EP-630 Sony MDR-EX85 JVC FC-77 .. sadly...
