Afew things that i have learned about x3i.
1. someone told me that shure foams would fit into x3i. i tried them. they dont!
2. re-cabling with good wires greatly improve the sound of x3i. more details and more controlled bass.
btw, i only use the small earbuds. if anyone wants to trade their small earbuds for medium, large or biflanges, pm me. =)

1. they only fit if you do the UE fit mod... But i believe the complys for UEs should fit nicely.

How do the Super Fi 5 Pros,Altec-Lansing iM616 and Etymotic ER-4P compare to these ? I've had it with the build quality on these .

The build quality of the Mylars is infinitely worse than on the ones you mentioned. They're actually the cheapest build phones I know of, bar none.

my bro got me a new pair. i'm actually gonna put some crazy glue or something in the housing area, and some heatshrink between the cable and termination jack.

I recabled mine, put metal meshes instead of the paper filter crap, and put heatshrink on the splitter. Mine are physically and sonically better than stock in every aspect.

What cable did you use recable your Mylarones?

can you(or anyone) show me where i can read more about this mod? i want to try the foams on my x3i.

btw, pics of re-re-cabled x3i.

Drool! The recable looks great. What did you use? I want to mod my too!

I got two pair of the X3i a couple of weeks ago. They sound great. Much better than my Vmoda BassFreq. Oddly I don't find them as comfortable and they do seem a bit fragile. Time will tell.

I have some X3, XB, and XBi to sell, if anyone's interested. The XBi need recabling: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f10/fs...ecable-304187/

2 pairs of 26 gauge silver coated copper wires, neutrik plug, silver solder, some heatshrink, and multifilament nylon sleevings(1/8").

 

[tjumper78]

i have these shure foams. they do not fit into my x3i. does anyone know how to do it?

 

[direcow]

shure foams don't fit directly onto mylars, only UE foams or complys for the UEs... what you need to do is to stretch out the stem, or remove it entirely.
