160-hour+ impression, just a quick one on this, not much changes.
Highs, now this one is a good improvement, the ear piercing highs now feels great, it seems to settle down.
Mid, same, slightly U (might due to Hippo Cri Cri+), anyway the voice now feels great as well with the highs settle down.
Bass, there's certainly lots, hey, it's XP series... so if you don't like Bass, sorry boss go for AT or FAD.
Sound stage, wonder if it's me or the stage just widen by slightly, not much until you really notice it. Anyway I didn't use the stock tips, I use one of the Galaxy Note IEM stock tips (white one) that fits my ear perfectly. Have not yet try double-flange tips.

Good luck to all XP3 owners out there, keep up the burning, will report in again after 200-hour+.

i believe the tips do make a lot of effects on the bright side, previously i was getting bad fit with bright sound, after that with 3rd party tips exchanged, everything went fine until now.

Currently 100 hours+ burn in, not too sure on the change as i didnt compare ^^, enjoy it non stop.


*Update on Jaben Facebook, once again a small batch came in, grab them if you are following this thread =D.

About 30 hours of burn in and still quite V shape sound compared to my main gear. Sure hope it gets to a flatter U after 200 hours. But IEM doesn't need as long to fully burn in as headphones right?

there is slight V for XP series, but not extremely, i'm still able to identify Mid freq pretty easily, however there is slight slope on the mid high and mid low, but they are forgiving =)

I know I might get flake for saying this but currently the 30 hours burn-in xp3 doesn't sound comparatively near to Jaben's demo unit, very far from it actually.

It has been mentioned longer burn-in is needed but can longer burn-in result in 50% SQ improvement for xp3?

I do agree with you somehow and I believe that Jaben's unit frequently used for demo thus burn-in process is much longer..

the percentage of SQ improved will be judged by you my friend biggrin.gif
some one might think it improve 100% but some might think only 20%
depends on how your ears like it smile.gif

how big is the different compare with Jaben 1?
continue burn in is the only way eh.

Wonder will beyer come out even more awesome IEM in this price range in future.

They have their existing line of MX series, but seem not famous enough as a great recommendation in worldwide.

Finally received my unit!

The build quality is outstanding! I didn't expect a metal constructed shell for the price.
However I have a love/hate relationship with the kway teow inspired cable. It is absolutely tangle free but it has a very bad microphonics.

Sound wise, this definitely has boosted bass. The sub bass rumble is actually quite enjoyable for me and it sounds clean without any noticeable distortion.
The mids however sound slightly muted for my liking and the treble can sound peaky at times. hopefully this will sound better with time.
The price to performance ratio however is really good. I much prefer the sound of this to the beats studio which have an artificial sounding highs with bloated treble.
Definitely a good buy thumbup.gif

lol, kway teow cable. I let the cable lay behind shoulder instead of hanging infront so that the cable won't swing around when there's a little movement. laugh.gif
