I have a couple of the X3, and a classic, from Soup.

Luv the sound, somewhat taken back by the design, as the ugly cord endings may cause undue pressure on the diaphragm when inserted, using the ends. And ultimately. Failure.

If redesigned, so that the cords enter from the bottom, rather than the very tip of the earpiece, they should be more durable. A design improvement.

And the *RED* case is SOOoo gay.....

Other than that, they sound stellar!

ordered my x3's a couple days ago. can't wait for them to arrive! and the staff at jaben are very helpful (as everyone has mentioned). if the headphones are half as good as the customer service, this should be an excellent investment.

I think he meant that he doesnt rate the X3 very highly, soup, as the sound seems to be distorted, and the bass is panty waisted.

Suggestion: With properly fitted tips, meaning snug, and inserted deeply, without damaging either your ears, or the diaphragms, the sound should improve, and the bass should have balls.

What's the best MP3/PMP to go with the X3?
I might be getting a Meizu M6 for my other cans, but maybe I should get one for the X3.
(I currently have a Nano 1G, btw.)

Today, I saw the XBs for the 1st time in my life. It actually looks very small and cute. The pictures here don't do it justice. Me likie, but I don't need a new canalphone/IEM...

btw the wires look really cheap.

I am using an Ipod. I do push them in as far as possible (comfort). I am no geek when it comes to sound. But i dont rate the X3 Sorry people

Thanks

What gen/model? I'm using a Nano 1G and I have no problems.

In fact, they sound pretty good. Maybe you just have a defective pair?

for me, it was quite alot.

I think that the choice between the x3 and xB should be determined by a couple of things. 1) the music you listen to, if its mostly jazz, classical, acoustic, then I would say the X3... Hip hop, R&B, other bass heavy music... then I would go with the XB... however it would be a better deal IMHO to get the DTX50 - X3 bundle, and get one w/ great bass, and another with greater clarity.

Hi all,

I just felt the need to say thanks to all those who have been contributing to the various MylarOne threads. I've been lurking for awhile & a recent extended plane/bus trip with my cheap JVC Marshmallows (I never used IEMs/canal phones prior to this trip) made me realize that extended travel in noisy environments can be pretty enjoyable if you can block out the external sound & focus on your music. This, as well as the information conveyed in this thread, caused me to spring for the X3s as I gravitate toward 'cans' with a favorable bang/buck ratio (see sig below).

I just got my X3-RBs today & I am extremely pleased with their performance considering their relatively modest price. Reasonable bass (very tip & position dependent though), solid treble clarity, and no perceivable hiss through my unamped Archos MP3 player. Nice.

I am eager to try out the UE Universal Fit kit tips on the X3s, but they are still a few days shipping away. I suspect the double flanges may further optimize the bass & isolation, but everyone's ears are different so we'll see.

Thanks again!

Great to know you are enjoying them!

recently got these and they are noticeably clearer than my old cx300, but as i found out, and people have been saying, they need to get in there to feel that bass from that full seal.
why are we saying the wire is cheep, its just a rubbery feel. i dont see why they dont make the plug 90 degrees.

 

[034936]

just ordered....now the exceptionally painful and endless wait

 

[Rooka]

I just got them and well, I am a bit disappointed

They don't seem to be balanced, they are very focused on the heights. Especially with rock songs they sound plain

Any suggestions?

Edit: Well, I guess it was because I used the small tips..
