That's what I believe as well. Of course they won't be your end all be all headphones. They are just AWESOME for the price.

Classics are the very first ones. The X3's are the most balanced and IMO the best sounding while the XB is more bassy and warmer hence the B.

Hello all,

ordered the DTX50 and X3 package. I'm wondering how both phones compare to the CX300 and EP630.

I may have read somewhere that DTX50 resembles the ATH-ES7 sound sig? Just wondering how true that is, I might be wrong.

The left channel on my X3 just died some days ago. I rarely used the phones (maybe 20 hours at all) since I am mostly listening to my Sharp MD-33.

I was listening to the X3, put them aside for a minute and as I inserted them again nothing came out of the left channel. I am very cautious with these kind of phones knowing of the build quality especially in this case.

Very dissapointing, particularly since I live in Germany and have to pay quite a lot to ship them back.

Hope the next pair will last longer.

That's when you just email jaben about it, he should hook you up without any expense.

All you need to do is chuck them in a standard envelope, with nothing else (eg not the casing or anything), and pay for postage. That will only cost a couple of euros, maximum.

What when they get damaged during the transport? It's common at least here in Germany to take care that the product will not be damaged (e.g. to send it in with the original packing). Otherwise it won't be possible to tell if the damage was there before you send in the product and it will get extremely difficult to claim repair or refund.

But I think i will try a padded envelope and send the headphones with the red box it came with.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Like i said a few times before over and over again...Jaben doesn't require you to ship back your broken X3's. How many times do I have to say this before people get it through their thick skulls ? Seriously, just e-mail Uncle Wilson at wilson [at] jaben [dot] net and he'll send you a new pair straight away (you can even ask for one of the other colors if you want to try them out). Please people, read some of this thread. So much information is already provided in this thread regarding everything about the X3's. Some questions have been repeated over and over again. It's just kind of annoying that 35 pages of this thread contains about 10 pages worth of information and 25 pages of repeats of people asking the same questions

I send an email to jaben and I was told to send the headphones back to Singapore. Maybe the this offer applies only to countries not so far away

But I will try to ask for a replace without sending the broken ones in with reference to head-fi.

I read that the DTX50 are the bass expanded type, like the CX300.
The X3 would look more like the EP630 with just a bit more definition and clarity.

Just got mine in the mail, pretty pleased with them. I do have a few questions though...

2) How do I go about picking what pads for my ears? The mediums fit decent, as do the smalls. My girlfriend tried them and she found the mediums were too smal, but the larges to big, so she is kinda screwed in that sense
3) Was I supposed to get a pick cleaner to clean the canalphones if I get gunk in them? I know alot of IEMs come with them
4) Very cool that they included a cord manager. Where can I get more of these?
5) How do I go about removing the clip on the cord without breaking it?
6) Do the Universal UE Fit Kits work with the X3s? They come with 5 pairs of tips I believe and are only $9, I'd love to get a perfect fit for my ears, and, along with that, any other fit kits I should pick up?

2) Use them more and you might find the smalls are too small. As long as you get a good seal, the size is right.
3) It's not part of the package. I don't know if you should go find one.
4) can't answer.
5) It's just a slotted clip. So, I moved the cable up one side, so I can slide the cable past the notch.
6) Should be. The first post has a link to the tip trials as well as a list of tips. I just ordered double flanges (universal) myself.

I complained to Jaben. Pretty much only bitching about the overall quality assurance since I have 2 pairs and am expecting the 2nd to have the same problem. They said they would send a replacement. So +1 for customer service and -1 for quality assurance.

The first pair (black+blue/red) had a problem with the glue holding the two parts together. My second pair (silver+black) doesn't seem to have that problem. I pulled it around a bit and it appears to be solid. (a later batch I guess)

As for sound quality, so far I have not experienced any of the lost-bass issues... Both pairs sound pretty much the same as when I bought them.

3 aspects remain:

-The case is ugly, very, VERY ugly. Making it black would improve things a bit.
-Overall build quality appears to be...well, flimsy
-Sound quality is great. Bass could be a bit stronger and they're too sensitive sometimes, but other than that, fine headphones that end up replacing my cd3k often.

I've recommended them to several friends, but only because I know Jaben will replace faulty units... So there isn't much to lose... very decent IEMs.

FWIW, I was supposed to get a replacement set, but it was supposedly sent over 3 weeks ago. *shrug* There's no responses to e-mails, so I don't know what happened.
