No comment on that, as i havent try the Sony MH1 before, but reading some users comment on that, still pretty much balance between negative and positive comments from user.

I might getting one of these soon.. how I wish I could have a chance to audition each one, still not sure which to pick as based only some reviews sad.gif

ahah, all of them are great, depend on which you like the most.
If you going for bass, XP1 will be my recommendation, if you prefer balance and dynamic, go for XP2 =)

XP3 might sound slightly flatter, it is more concentrated sound

Yes you can try comply foam without problem, technically it is more comfortable compare with rubber sleeve.

I get the feeling XP1 is so underrated.. ohwai  sad.gif

walabies, so I guessed XP3 is always the fastest one got out of stock, no?  biggrin.gif

Be frank all of them are good actually, just that which one you like more.
If bass is your cup of tea, XP1 will be your baby, if you prefer more on detail, XP3 can be a greater choice.
Everything is about personal preference.

i believe it is the sleeve sucks-ion effect, so the deeper you push in, it sounded more imbalance.

I am looking at those budget players like c30, teclast x19hd and Sansa. More I read more the more I'll likely to avoid the earlier 2.

How do you guys think the SQ from Sansa Clip/Clip+ goes with xp3?

You can consider hippo biscuit, in term of sound quality it wont lose out to any you mentioned.

hurray for XP1 fella  tongue.gif .Aiks,, just started now need to upgrade already..  ohmy.gif Whats the size of the pre-fitted tips? also foam tip got shorter lifespan isnt it? How long can wear until spoiled?

Regarding cracking, it always in L bud than the R one. so at first I thought maybe due to my left earcanal shape that caused the early seal of the flange but then now even I swap the bud to R also it happen. Here I think the L one got weaker diaphragm? or has already spoiled.. sound still ok for now but worry of continuous cracking will shorten the life span in long run.. never wanted the imbalance sound  sad.gif

It is caused by the air pressure inside your ears, the reason as human are not balance for left and right side, hence it happens only at one side of your ear.

Yeah I did some reading, looks like these particular IEM characteristics are the main cause. Now I tried inserting slowly while open my mouth to give more room to air to compress  laugh.gif
Tried double flange but didnt like losing the bass intensity and also the insecure feeling of the buds hanging too far worrying it might come off anytime soon.
So its safe to assume this is normal case. Sometimes I did feel the balance is off by ~5%-10% more to R. I hope the driver itself is not at fault. While at it I tried few other tip sizes and some of them give more balanced output at certain position means good isolation is another factor here..

Looks like have to consider Hippo Foam after all hmm.gif
Thanks~ Im enjoying it much wub.gif

Yes that is correct, as our ears canal are not parallel same size, you can try smaller/bigger size eartip in one ear, it doesnt need to be both ears same size eartip, as long it fits and provide great isolation.

Hello.  Can add me as an XP2 user.  I was using soundmagic PL50 before this (Still using actually).  I went to Pantera in Viva home centre in Cheras on Christmas day and demoed the XP series.  (actually called Jaben subang a few times that day but I guess the shop was closed for Christmas).  Straight away bought the XP2, as it provides quite similar clarity and instrument separation compared to the PL50, but with more bass. 

When I tried mine out of the box, I was, WTF??? Too V sounding.  The mid are so compressed that it sounded like very, very cheap earphone.  Then I remember about burning in.  After about 10 hours, I tried again.  Improvements.. The V is not so pronounce now.  I guess the demo unit had so many hours of burning in already that the SQ is so nice.

One nigling issues though.  I understand about the cracking sound when inserting into the ear, but do any of you experience "flange" sound.  On the right earbud there is always the sound as if air is passing through and it is worse if the bud touches something else like finger or helmet (yes, I do use them while on motorbike, which some people might disapprove), or when there is a lot of movement, which causes the ear piece to have slight movement in the ear canal.  I tried switching side and ear tips  (except foam), but the problem remains with the right ear piece. Is it a normal issue with IEM (did not experience this with PL50, which I uses with L size foam) or is there something wrong here?
*
The flange sound is it when you touch the earphone, it has weird sound?
Foam does solve on that, as rubber/silicon tips sometimes do have this type of issue.

Is it a new set for the S4 image? careful bro, the price different for S4 is too huge even in Singapore, and there are tons of fake running around in Amazon and Malaysia.

Hey guys, I got my XP3 about a month ago . Since then , I've been using it to play games and listening to YouTube musics . Probably already have 20-30 hours of usage . Is this considered okay for burn in ? Or what else should I do ? However , I've noticed slight improvement since my first use. Thanks in advance smile.gif
*
Yes 20-30 hours are fine, you can go on even further for more quality improvement.

It has 2 colors for Xp, silver and black, the picture in their store should be black, however in the product page, there is an option to let you choose between silver and black, have you chose Silver?
