feel like selling of beats for a beyerdynamic iem . starting to hate headphone ;(.

xp2 will be great i think for me.

regret~ should have tested it first before buying~

too bassy, smaller soundstage and lost of details compare with RE0

now can only hope the burn in will help it

got XP3 btw

RE0 and XP3 totally different league, cant be equalized

In the budget segment, the RE0 is practically the king of detail and treble.
They're not even priced close enough.

how much does RE0 cost usually?

rm310

RE0 design sux... took XP3 it becos of the design

well didn't expect it sound this bad

which amp is more suitable for xp3 ? hippo cricri or govibe martini?

If you had flip few pages to read those posts then you will notice why Beyerdynamic is making good drivers, and it's so hard to loosen it, a good 300-hour is just the beginning, first 70-hour can't even consider a listening pleasure.
The IEM is bassy at 0-hour, almost spoiled the fun of "virgin" but as you burn-in that sensation will disappear. Which is why I chose XP3 over GR-02.
But if you don't like bassy IEM then like I said again previous page, this IEM might not suits you.

My XP3 is currently settled down quite a few, bass is still remain but way better than the first 70~100-hour. With the included double-flange ear-bud, the bass is much relaxed.

yeah i have to agree the double flange is da bomb man!

Back couple of weeks when I received my XP3 I was worried how bad it sound compared to Jaben XP3 demo unit. Burn in is a necessity.

Still, isn't 300 hours burn-in more than enough for an IEM? The physical driver is only that small. *2cm thumb finger gap*

Hi,

How is the beyerdynamic XP compare with Shure SE215? in term of sound quality and isolation.

Thanks.

Lots of the Beyerdynamic has very long burn-in, just the improvement isn't that noticeable any more after 100-hour+, only if you really notice it using different song/music after few days of burn-in. Need even longer period of gap to really notice the changes.
And the driver is not that huge (2cm), IMO it could be only 11.5 mm at best, could be 8.5 mm?
It's the housing that actually alter how the sounds like, XP3 has the colder metal ticking sound, slightly on the analytical.
SCLG boss also told me that cable also require burn-in, and it'll affect the overall sound stage, well, I won't know until I can reach that level. He did let me audition his 600-hour++ DT231Pro, the sound stage is just so amazing, and it's only RM2xx headphone.

Now I'm going to let it burn-in around 3 days before I have another listen (~9-hour per day)

Hehe, so proud to be an owner of DT231pro.. 600+ hours? Not sure how long I've used my DT231pro...

same with their headphone, burn in required =D

Guys which one is a better amp for xp3 ? Hippo cricri and govibe martini ?

I myself is using Hippo Cri Cri+, suit my taste as the mid is much forward, not too sure about Govibe Martini but SLCG boss recommend Govibe Minibox AMP for such IEM, I haven really auditioned it for long using that AMP though.
Either way it's all up to you, you'll have to audition them both if you plan to buy.

Beyerdynamic XP2 is just amazing! give a big thumb up for Beyerdynamic which come out with such a good earphone!

Yes, If you using a double flange ear tips the sound will be a big different. Everyone should try to use it with your Beyer XP earphone. or you could try the Hippo foam tips.

Okay ! Btw whats the difference between hippo cricri and hippo cricri+?
