The more I listen to the DJE1500 the more I like it. The bass is already settled down and the sound has opened up quite a bit. Listening to classical music has been exceptionally good, I like the imaging and sound stage quite a bit with this genre. They also work very well for classic rock.
Having just done a review of the S5 these are not as bass heavy and have slightly more forward mids as well. I want to let these have a couple of nights of burn in before I get serious about their sound. But out of the box they have as much (actually a smidge more) potential than the S5. But they are also quite a bit more money so should be better.
I no longer have the XBA-H3 to compare them to but from memory I like the 1500 more as it has a more natural sound to it. I will do an A/B to the XBA-H1at some point though.
I have no idea how these stack up against the DJE2000 but from the sounds of it they may be a better value at the least. I am starting to get sceptical about the hybrid IEM's being released.
