REVIEW: Vivo Xplay 3S + XE800 Mobile audio perfection
Sep 24, 2016 at 2:21 AM Post #496 of 683
Interesting comments. If the $18 XE800s I just ordered from Aliexpress are the real thing, I hope to learn first hand why you like them so much.
For my clarification, are you using the N5 for these comparisons, or a different dap? If it is the N5 it sounds like I should be shopping for an amp rather than assuming they can adequately drive the Havi's and other cans, yes?


Day to day use I'm using a smartphone - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.

When I A-B'ed the two, I tested with Fiio Q1 DAC/Amp. The only DAP I have is the Xduoo X2 and it's strong enough to drive the Havi's.

Some other users have recommended the Topping NX1 as it supposedly pairs well with the Havi's.

This one looks completely fake to me. They used some official photo's, but the first en last picture gives it away. Also $5 is too cheap. Don't bite the bait.

Could be legit; pictures, story, price, everything looks legit. But at $23, you could avoid the risk and go for the $18 ones.

Thanks for the offical website!
It seems the $18 is a different product:
  1. Resistance: 9Ω
  2. Sensitivity: 123dB
  3. Frequency Response Range: 8-25000Hz
 
But seems good also. This might explain why someone claimed it sounds like Gr07 and someone claimed not!

I don't think the seller really paid attention to the official specs. Could just be a random specs from his old listing. I don't think there are many versions of XE800 either. Just the fake and the genuine ones.

Recently ordered the$18 pair from ali. I am looking for an upgrade to the kz ed9, and the **** 4in 1 was a huge letdown for me. Hope these fit the bill :)


Judging by your comments on the 4in1s i think you'll like the xe800. Just received my second pair after my daughter stole my last pair.

The are really well balanced and if you get the right seal have a decent amount of sub bass.

You may like the tenmak pro which sound very similar to the xe800s with more bass.
 
Sep 29, 2016 at 9:09 AM Post #508 of 683
Just A/B'd my new pair with the pair I gave to my daughter not expecting to hear much off a difference.

What i found was noticeably more bass presence on the (very well) burned in pair and a slightly more spacious sound.

So now I'm a firm believer in burn in!

Either that or there are slight differences in manufacturing.

Interesting comments. If the $18 XE800s I just ordered from Aliexpress are the real thing, I hope to learn first hand why you like them so much.
For my clarification, are you using the N5 for these comparisons, or a different dap? If it is the N5 it sounds like I should be shopping for an amp rather than assuming they can adequately drive the Havi's and other cans, yes?


Just to confuse you my experience is the total opposite, the XE800 is collecting dust while my B3's still get some usage after owning them for over two years.....

Just goes to show that it's all about personal preferences so better try for one self than putting too much into every single opinion.

Good luck :wink:
