Just ordered mine

X3 is more towards warm, the X3i is much neutral and balance. XBi was not my cup of tea, to me the high seems not existance at all. And the bass is just way too much, I cant help noticing the bass only... |

First I thought I received a defective pair, but I got 2 sets of XBi's (with the silver rings) so I could do a comparison and both sounded exactly the same. The bass is indeed the best I've ever heard, BUT the mids/highs are TERRIBLE, where's the quality of the older XB's? I even 'burned them in' for about 24hrs, but still its making me cry. I'm sorry to say I'm really dissapointed right now |

Its bass is lovely and the upper mids are softer, sibilance is nearly non-existent. I just love them. The XBi’s bass might be actually too much, Skillz. Ask Wilson if you may exchange the XBi for some X3i, they’re great. |

How are they best used? Are they reliable? And a few more easily answered questions: 1. Jaben only lists the X3s for sale. Apparently, the X3is are better. What's the difference? 2. Is Jaben a good place to order from driectly? Jaben Network 3. What's the difference between the X3i and XBi? Or X3 and XB? 4. Will these sound good off of my soon-to-arrive Sandisk C240, or should I build a small headphone amp? 5. Anyone want to trade me a pair for some of my stuff? |
