 What is your impressions of the xba-h1? I came very close to buying these blindly awhile back

I was pleasantly surprised with them. They have a great amount of punchy deep bass and clear mids. They definitely remind me of the Sony MDR-1R's sound signature but with more bass. Soundstage is decent for IEMs and imaging is spot on. These blow the original XBA series out of the water. Definitely recommended for the price.

Thank you, I'm enjoying them for sure. I'm curious to try the Shure 315-K as I've heard good things about them. I'm more of an EDM listener so I try to find gear that suits my listening preference.

My 3 japan top tiers amps pair with Wagnus tube pre amp : Valvola
Wagnus Epsilon S
Mass Ko Bo 395
Ko Jo Km 01 brass edition

SQ :
With Wagnus tube pre amp / buffer pair with these 3 amps improve the sound quality significant.
High : better detail with extended high and clarity , better presence
Mid : very sweet and has better pronounce than only with amps
Bass : better detail , more weight very clean bass impact and detail
Separation : better separation than only with amps
Soundstage : has improvement their wide and depth

IMO

I say soon...
Right driver is fubar'd!
But I luckily have the guy sending me a brand new pair.
So I pay pennies for a used pair, right Chanel is shot, so he sends me a new pair...

Silver Poison will be going straight on the new ones,

The old T50p she'll will be stripped, Modified and re sprayed.
I'll be putting some old pioneer drivers in them for now lol.

A recent lifestyle change caused me to acquire a portable setup.
 
Clip Zip + C5 + ER4PT (with ER4S Conversion Cable)
 
Might consider a DX50 and cable upgrade down the road. 

 

[AUDIOBREEDER]

Looking good!

How you liking the iBasso? I think the DX50 is an awesome value for what it is.

Yes! X3 is like an old-school mobile phone, Etymotic HF3 also very small and light. Very good sound, super isolation, perfect prices on both
