I got mad the other day and ripped off one of the earphones from my 8320. That cable is probably the worst I've ever seen in a headphone.
Time to recable. :)
 
I tried the FXD80s a while back and can remember them being not so great. Like a lesser version of a tf10. On the other hand they look amazing.

Actually I hear more bass and details in the FXD80 than TF10 (I just recently sold it). The D80 also presents the music in a more 3-D soundstage. I will write more about this later, but Dsnuts let me borrow his Sony XB90EX and I thought it was the most bass I've ever heard in a IEM - actually too much bass (and I'm a basshead too). The only bass that comes close to it is the bass in the ASG-1(.2)  and the bass in the FX700. The Sony bass is pretty clean but not the cleanest I've heard at that level (those go to the ASG and FX700). Mids are also very nice in the XB90, and the treble was fine (although I can see how some might feel the treble isn't bright or sparkly enough). 

What the D80, D70, FX700 and ASG-1.2 have over the XB90 is clarity, detail and transparency. This is not by any means a suggestion that the XB90 isn't a good detailed IEM, but the the four other ones I've mentioned are better. The Sony sounds a bit (tad bit) veiled compared to those four. For about $90 to $104, however, the XB90 is an excellent value.

Are they reliable? what do you think?
 
smartimports: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150908913211&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123 $14 for EMS
 
 
ebisu-japan: http://cgi.ebay.ph/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271073413778 Isn't an overpriced?

Oh sorry didn't see that. Try n find a vendor that sells new in box to your country. Sorry I can't be of more help. The FX3X is more exotic than most as they are Asian release only it seems. As long as they are sold new in box I would go for it and use paypal just in case.

No worries mate. Amazon Japan doesn't ship them outside, that's the cons. I hope they will realize it. :D

So how does the XB90 compare to the ones you stated in soundstage? I think someone here stated that the XB90 almost sounded like 2.1 speakers and had a larger soundstage than any of his other IEMs. Do you agree with that statement?
 
If so, just how large is it?

hmmm, how much did you burn it in, if at all?  also, if you are used to something treble heavy, I can imagine anything with less treble will sound lacking :D as for me personally, I like laid back treble, and can hear up to 20 khz quite well, so maybe what is lacking for you will be more than enough for me? (at least I hope so lol )

I'm not used to anything particularly bright and have also tried different tips. These will be sold soon.

I get the feeling from subsequent replies that I'm crashing the circle-jerk. :wink:
