what's Q-tip?

Q-tip is a rapper. You take the little guy, rub his head, and stick him in your ear. His naturally curly hair will pull out the ear wax.

Q-tips, on the other hand. http://www.qtips.com/

I tried some other music, but nada. So awful that I pulled out my old E2c & guess what? They sounded full, alive, detailed & enjoyable - exactly what was missing from my Mylars. And here's me writing off the Shures only a few days ago... Beginning to think it's my ears, & nothin' to do with the phones (my ER6 are sounding pretty bad too - that could be wax)... Headphones - sheesh

You are having a problem of seal. Check the seal, change sleeves, etc .

Have you heard of the "seal eating virus"

Just an informational post for all you U.S. based Mylarone Junkies.

theiriverstore.com is now the exclusive retailer/distributor of the Crossroads Mylarone brand in the U.S.

Uncle Wilson can confirm this if anyone needs more info.

They offer the X3 in 3 color choices and the XB.

I'm looking at the site right now, am I supposed to be able to see them?

Got a replacement pair, this one crinkle free, as my other working pair. When two pairs are crinkle free and work just fine, and crinkling one fails within a week, makes me strongly believe that crinkle is definitely a sign of the incoming problem. This is not normal, regardless of what you've been told. Most likely the driver is not fixed in place properly and has some play in the enclosure.
BTW, kudos to Jaben's customer service for hassle free replacement, although I'd be much happier if MylarOne had a better quality control.

All these talks about bass lessening with time made me suspicious that my pair has that problem too. Tested old pair with the brand new that just went through night long pink noise burn in.

THEY SOUND IDENTICAL!

I don't really believe that the bass PHYSICALLY reduces. You just get used to the bass I think.

 

[steviebee]

I think it has to do with tips/seal...
And ears!....I think souperman has it.

Hi guys, it took my a while to read all 42 pages but it was worth it considering the wealth of information.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I was very interested in purchasing the X3's until I read about the poor build quality and left driver issue. I can't remember how many of you guys have had this problem, but as somebody else mentioned, we don't know how many other owners have had this problem.

I'm still inclined to purchase the the X3's only because of Jaben's great customer service that I constantly hear about. Though I still think that's no excuse for Crossroad's poor build quality.

A few post back someone mentioned about the iriverstore.com selling X3's as well. I have a feeling that it'll be cheaper to purchase it from Jaben as well as receive their customer service.

So I've been holding off from buying them though I need a newheadphone soon.

Hi All,

I purchased the X3s about a month ago. They were fine in terms of sound quality, volume, isolation etc. for the 1st couple of weeks.

They suddenly about a week ago, they started acting up. I was walking along when I received an unpleasant electrical shock to my ears. It felt a lot like a static shock and I dismissed it, thinking it was an isolated incident.

Couple of days later, I was walking at night and the same thing happened.

Has anyone experienced anything remotely similar to this?

Does anyone know how theiriverstore.com is for customer service (aka is it as good as jabens)? Also...do you still get all the accessories if you order from theiriverstore?

 

[SONGsanmanwah]

Hmm. Last time I checked they're still listed as 'coming soon'. Has anyone bought from iriver store yet?
