I'm still thinking whether i should sell my XP3. I prefer the XP2..more balanced. Anyone here interested in a trade?

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?

That took you long enough, mine faded after 2 weeks of usage, LOL... ah well that's due to the wear and tear and possibly just cheaper paint, the cable quality is much important than the paint itself. wink.gif

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.

Not only when touching, it also noticeable when moving around, like when head is bobbing up and down /left to right. Tried using foam, albeit DIY one. The flange/air sound is still there and only on the right earpiece. The sound is more noticeable when playing song with continuos mid to high treble sound. Any way, went to Jaben today to let them have a look on it and see what can be done. Now just wait for the result. In the meantime, its back to PL50 for me, of which I really like, except for the lacking of bass.

Yep. But a DIY one. I made a set using the foam earplug from Guardian. Result still the same.

If you can, try both and see which one you like. An honest opinion from us is not as honest as one from your own ears. tongue.gif
