Hi,

Thanks for your reply first.

Well, it’s getting better and better after only some hours. Normally, I’m not a basshead at all. But at first, it sounded as if there was NO bass at all. I was disappointed, but now I really like them.

Anyway I’m going to burn them in the next days and see if it gets even better. It seems like I was too overhasty.

Thank you anyway. I won’t need a refund.

Added: I noticed that the fit is extremely important! The bi-flanges are in fact _much_ better than the ones you get with the headphones in my opinion, because they fit perfectly in my ears.

FIT IS CRUCIAL FOR BASS!

sorry for yelling, but you got to get a good seal - pretend like you are putting in earplugs and you are about to operate a chainsaw. You don't want any leakage.

Yea it’s great now. I don’t believe how my opinion changed in 4 hours. I love the Mylarone X3 now.

Great headphones.

Hey ppl, two questions:

1- The UE Bi-flange dont fit well in my ears, i cant get any comfortable position. What else could i try since im using the original X3 tips, and the sound with them arent as good as with the biflange. E2 Foam maybe??? Or some UE single flange?

2- That "adapter" that comes with the X3, where the phone plug becomes a double plug, can be used for what? Ive never saw anything like that before...just curious...

Thanks!

i lost one piece of the middle size tip and now i am forced to use the large size ones. There is not enough bass when i use them? Can anyone recommend me some new tips?

I use the Shure E2 foamies - small. These get the best fit and seal for me.

Awesome. I'm glad. Perhaps it was a combination of fit, sound signature adaption, and burn-in. I'm always kind of wary of burn-in with Canalphones/IEM's...but my X3's did change a little after the first 10-15 hours or so (I don't really consider that a "burn-in").

Enjoy!

1. I would try some E2 foamies. You have to stretch out the plastic tube with a pen/pencil in order to get them to fit (be very careful...I'm always so worried I'm going to break the sound-tube).

2. The adapter is used for the headphone jacks in airplanes. I don't know why they use that particular jack.

My X3s have gotten unbearably shrill!

When I finally received my X3s I was estatic. The only IEM's i've owned before were Ety ER6i, which have excellent detail but I always found them too cold, I wanted a bit more bass. I was very pleased with my initial comparison, the X3 gave me the kind of clarity and freq. responce that I was looking for, and fit comfortably.

However, as they burned in, they became very shrill. High pitches like snare hits and cymbals are piercing and undefined. Even bass drum hits sound more like pops than thuds. It's not so bad that I'd consider it an OBVIOUS hardware failure, and I've heard that the X3s are bright, but surely they're not supposed to be THIS bright, right? I can stand it on some mellow songs, but bright stuff like metal is completely ruined.

You sure you're getting a good seal? This happened to me but then I changed to the UE small tips, got a better seal and it was much better and the bass was suddenly switched on.

Just my two cents

 

[Kaldskryke]

I'm getting a decent seal. I haven't tried other tips, but unless it's a resonant volume issue or something crazy like that I can't see how it would make a difference.

 

[Tone Def]

Are you using them via line-out or straight out of the headphone out? If you're using the headphone out, are your files replaygained?

Would double flange tips help, since there's more distance between the driver and my ear?? Any other ideas??

I realised that the shocking was coming from the source - i only got the shocks when I was working out at the gym using the gym's audio player at the treadmill, whereas I've never had the problem with my zen vision W. Right now I just use another set for my gym - it might be the amount of sweating I do.
