I have the XBA-2ip that I purchased 4 weeks ago, and now I have the opportunity to grab the XBA-3ip for even less cost of what I paid for the xba-2ip (I can get the xba-3ip for USD$100). I like the XBA-2ip is some sense but not in others so i wonder if you can advise me on the rationale to...

Hi all, this is my first post, please be kind!   After reading MANY reviews on this and other sites, I eventually decided to buy a pair of Sony XBA30ip earphones - I wanted best-possible sound quality combined with good quality remote operation of my iPhone. Today they arrived, and I have to...

Hey Guys  Im no audiophile but ive been experimenting with a few mid-fi iems under 120$ but somehow i couldnt find the right sound signature  Ive searched around here on head-fi but most of the options mentioned here are really expensive for the genre i listen to  I listen to alternative rock...

Hi guys   I would like to give a go at this Sony model.   However I am in doubt of something.   - the XBA-3 has the cable running down on the left side instead of the center - the XBA-3IP has the cable running down on center because of the ipod control pad   I don´t really like...

I am looking for first pair of IEMS, any recommendations? I don't know anything about IEMS, so I need some serious advices...   I currently have Ultrasone pro 900 and I love them and I listen to jpop/electro pop.     My budget is about 100 usd or something, because I won't use iems so...

I just bought the Sony XPA-3IP from amazon for ~130 based on recommendations from people in in the sales thread but I think I might have been too hasty. For the listed price, would you guys recommend these headphones? Are there any better headphones available for around the same price? 

I want to find a nice assortment of eartips to try for my Sony XBA-3IP's. I don't like the tips it came with, they keep coming out of my ear canal. Anyone have any suggestions? I seem to remember years ago my Etymotic 3flange tips were really secure. Although I think I remember them being kind...

I currently have Sony XBA3ip and Westone UM2 IEMs, source is currently an iPhone 5 with 256kbps files. However, I'm thinking about taking a step up with the IEMs. Here in the UK, current prices put some of the higher end universals (looking mainly at the Westone 4) in a similar price bracket to...

So I've been looking around for a new pair of IEM that is within the price range from $100 to $200 for listening to music on my HTC One X smartphone. I used to have the Sennheiser CX 475, the regular Monster Turbine, the Klipsch Image S4, and the Sony MDREX510LP. From those three, I personally...

Alright guys I am brand new to the headphone world so don't be too hard on me please. I'm just a kid looking for a relatively nice pair of headphones that I could buy with 1-200 bucks of my Christmas money. All my friends have beats by dre but I do my research before I buy just about anything...

I'm a big fan of asymmetric earphones, after 10+ years of using Sonys, to the point where I simple can't get used to the popular y-cord style. I've been searching everywhere for a pair of asymmetric earphones with an inline remote and mic that will work with my iphone 4S. Anybody know of any...
