I scoped someone sporting the XBA-02 on the streets of Boston yesterday.

There are ways around that, my friend.

eBay is the best for almost anything unreleased in your country but are available elsewhere ^_^. But the prices are always jacked up.

Well, that's usually what happens when it's a new product that just got released.

Yeah. Something like the CK100pro on eBay now is quite overpriced.

I bet it is. That's what happens to products like that.

If I had a pair of the HE90's, I'd sell them in eBay (If I had a pair of HE90's in reality, I would never sell them) for about $100,000 and possibly more. How much does a HE90 or HE60 go for nowadays?

 

[Hennyo]

HE 90 around 30,000 for system.
 
HE 60 around 1k for headphones. (they sound good, but not that good around HE90..

Yeah, saw someone selling those HE90s on eBay once. Never got to try them though. I'm thinking they should be very good.

Do any xba 4 owners have DDM, EX700, SM3, or 1964-Q to compare it with?
 
I have great experiences with the first two and assume from reviews on headfi that the last 2 are a step up.
 
I am hoping to buy the xba 4 on my Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand trip, if one of the countries has it!
 
Thanks!

If someone would have IE8/80 to compare that would be awesome

OK I thought I was through with BA based IEM's but a pair of Etymotic HF3 has changed my opinion after not being as enamored bu the TF10 or the SM3. So with that in mind would one of these IEM's give me a similar but better experience than the HF3? The things I like about the HF3 are the mids and treble, I love their detail and clarity. I would like more bass though and I definitely DO NOT WANT a recessed midrange. In short I want the Ety's with more bass at the least and prefereably the Ety with more bass and everything else.
 
Also how would these compare to the MDR-7550 or EX600? I ask because I can get the MDR-7550 for $240 locally, or is there no real comparison between that series of Sony IEM's and these new BA based ones?
