Yes, XB75AP. 15$ off from the MRP. Got it for <47$.
Well, the sound isn't terrible by any means like I exaggerated at first. After some hours of listening it definitely has its plus points. Clipping hasn't occurred after the one or two times it happened.
Like Silverears said, maybe I'm not used to the sound signature yet. But almost on every review of the ZS5, I see thy have listed sibilance as the con. Maybe I'm extra sensitive to sibilance.
If there wasn't that much of sibilance, I'd have loved it.
Take back my words which said Panasonics sound better. They don't. The resolution and clarity is much better on the ZS5. Like some people say, it's only when you go back to cheap earphones you can appreciate the sound of the better one. Guess I've to train my ears to better sound.
But my point is that, they're definitely not worthy of the praise they're getting here. If I've to convince myself so hard that IT IS good.....
Worth the 20$ price. Not more than that imo.
My younger sister listened to it for sometime and she said it's the best sound she ever heard. Maybe I'm very picky about my sound :|
Damn! I was about to write the same problem you had and now after I saw this post, did exactly like you did. It worked! On the left earpiece that is!
