Hello friend! Great we have the same setup. I once bought XBA-N3BP with balanced stock cable, but I sold it. This time I buy again and use N3AP for riding my bicycle. And use 1AM2 with kimber cable in door only. So I can use both 3.5 and 4.5 ports :)

awesome haul, I really want to get the XBA N3 new, even with a huge markup.
Yes I bought XBA-N3AP last year, Its still sealed and brand new so far, I guess no more left in stock, all of the items on my picture are sealed , I will unbox all next week when I have the zx 707 cover arrive.

N3AP is the only earphones I've ever bought and sold same day. Way too bass heavy and muffled for me.

My work collegue I sold them to seemed to like them thought after his dog chewed up is B&O ones.

I own the ZX507, and just recently purchased the ZX707 from Japan. I'll post a mini comparison over the weekend when I have more time with it. Design wise, 707 is stunning. but I like the form factor of the 507 as it's more pocketable for travel. More to come .. I'll also compare to a flagship DAC to highlight notable differences.
Hello,
I purchased mine from Japan also and I received it in a couple of days with express mail.

Have you figured out if the ZX707 can be waken up by tapping the screen? Or is the only way to wake it up by pressing the On/Off power button?

Thanks !

I do not believe any of the new Sony Walkman’s have the feature for tap to wake, so far I’ve found no way to use it on my own ZX-707 so we may be stuck with the pressing the On/Off button for now.

It is very bassy but I would not call it muffled. But it also was too bassy for me

But this In-Ear is designed for people who enter the Audiophile world, and for those, it's an insane upgrade to whatever they possess right now. Especially because even though it is bassy, the bass is well controlled and open and better than most closed back headphones (including the LCD-XC *uagh*). The XBA-N3 also has surprisingly good treble that extends till infinity.

It is an very safe consumer grade tuning, yes, but probably the highest quality you can get doing that tuning for especially that price.

It's only real comparison is the FiiOxCrinacle FHE and that one is worse for sure

Lucky!

I imported an NW-A307 & case from Amazon Japan and got hit with £105 by UK customs/delivery :angry:

Been lucky all times before so can't complain really.
I was fully expecting to pay import duties, but somehow it cleared without any. I am surprised because normally I expect to pay an arm and a leg..
