You can try the double flange tips from meelec. That way you won't need to insert the body in your ear that much. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=130745455297&index=0&nav=WATCHING&nid=64088613891&skus=Size%3A6+Pair+in+Various+size+combo+set%7CSets%3A1+sets+%28+6+pairs%29

Mine were also uncomfortable at first. I tried several tips before settling on the medium hybrids that came with the XBA 3ip's. However, the sound was so great I just pushed through for a couple of weeks and now I've gotten used to them. I've found this to be true with several IEM's, especially Ety's, but also the GR07 and PFE 132's to a lesser extent. It takes my ears about three weeks to adjust.

Good luck!

site's under maintenance... must have been flooded by online buyers

Probably sold out... I went past a Sony kiosk earlier in the day and they were all gone. But they still had the xba2 for $40.

Sold out in my area as well - sony centre nunawading

My friend got a pair of xba-3 and xba-2vp for $40.....
and I got a pair of xba-s65b. xba-bt75d and xba-nc85 all for a total of $170......
extermly excited....
waiting to get my hands on it.....

 

[d marc0]

Ordered the xba1 for $20 because I want those noise isolation hybrid tips : D

 

[AUDIOBREEDER]

I cant believe the XBA deals.
 
I've learned a lesson.... wait & buy later.

 

[d marc0]

I would have ordered the xba3ip to be a back up in case my pair breaks, but I now feel that $50 can be of much value elsewhere. But if you don't have the xba3 yet, this is the best deal there can ever be! It's free shipping if you're a sony style member so register now. $50 for an IEM that can compete with the TF10 or Fidelio s2 is a deal you shouldn't pass on.

I thought my $105 deal was a good deal. Geeze.

I thought my $105 deal was a good deal. Geeze.

Still bothers me a bit even though I got mine for $120. What gets me through tho is we have enjoyed it at a time when there weren't that many options at a sub $150 price; and that to me is all worth it. But man, 50 bucks!!!

Yup. That range of pricing just isn't right.

Haha, It makes all of us just tilt our heads like a dog learning a new trick.
