No, no replaceable, but I saw somewhere someone did modified them with another cable
The tips came with them, actually a lot of them, but this are the ones that get me the best seal.

I feel like the vocal can't compete with asg's. And the bass also.

Nice iem holder

Yep, found an unused Lego lol

Oh geez I'm really digging those IEMs, what are they? Are they universals?

It's asg 1.2 and they are universals.

Very tron-esque

Cowon J3 / Sony XBA-3. 

 

[Podster]

Smart looking setup H2O, I've thought about a pair of XBA's but have been curious to their sound signature and efficiency. I have found with all my Sony's in the past to be a little on the power hungry side! The majority have been MDR's, I really like the look of these XBA's though.

I don't own XBA-3 anymore, nor the Cowon J3. 

 I was just going through pictures and popped one up after some photo editing. I miss that Cowon, especially recently, the J3 was in spotless condition and would come in handy now for some other IEM's I have. To be honest, I wasn't very wowed by XBA-3, they seem to lack detail and were kind of limiting what I'm used too. I think one can do better with something like Dunu DN-1000 at $200 or even Ostry KC06 for $60.00 than the Sony.

But like yourself I was nothing but curious about them and the honeymoon period was nice. 

Even though XBA-3 are only 12ohms I was quite surprised they didn't hiss with my Studio V units, well at least very little.

Good to know, I liked the look but sometimes I'm a real sucker for looks and then get let down

 I understand your detail statement but I never had any issues with hiss on my Sony's even when I had to crank up the power to get the volume I wanted however they did all sound a little veiled which may be akin to that detail you mention. I do like the look of a lot of Sony headpones and usually build quality is outstanding but the bottom line is sound

 
Never owned a Cowan but read a lot of positives about them. Appreciate the response and suggestions Dunu & Ostry
