Just got this news from Jaben Network, Beyerdynamic had launched their latest XP series Earphone.
Pretty unexpected on this news, seem they are targeting more affordable market as well.
The pricing of RM199 is pretty crazy, especially they have 3 different sounding models in same price.
Packed with features such as tangle-free, angle fit, L-shape jack which pretty much gathered all the great design in the market, and hit hard!

Do you need burn in?
*Yes, according to user Beyerdynamic Xp series starting to shine in around 70+ hours, fully perform in 150+ hours.

What can you tune about the sound?
*I did have a play with the double flange and stock single flange tips, the sound is pretty different between these two.
Double flange provides better staging and more extension on treble & bass spectrum.
Single flange offers better speed and impact, everything moved forward with more aggressive sound enhanced.

Why i don't any bass respond in the earphone? i thought they are strong?
*Most probably the fitting issue, as angel fit requires better fitting due to their natural solid in inner ear canal, twist a little bit around your ear, with noise isolated seal you can get great bass respond.

Do 3 of them just different on bass quantity?
*No they are not, base on my personal experience and customer feedback, 3 of them presented different signature to your taste, try them if you are able to.

Cable microphonic sound?
*The "bup" sound when the cable touched your body. Try to slide up the cable slider to a comfortable zone, it will reduce a lot.

Remembering DT770, DT880, and DT990!

has both features i like, flat cable and the cube F1Pro type IEM design which i adore a lot

beyer earphone seem from the past not always a main focus point in their product list, however this time they are paying more attention in their IEM range.

Hmmm... interesting...

waiting for more impression, it should be amazing in term of price ratio.

Can't wait to have my first try...

Great recommandation..xdd

Woot Woot!! can I try it?

interested man, waiting for your good review

I re-verify the news released by windboy, yes it is true that Beyerdynamic going to release this earphone in amass soon. We also provide free testing for three XP series.

Beyer's previous attempt at IEMs failed miserably..

hopefully these new wave of models will fare better....

They look very.. OEM-ish.. IMHO.. but this is strictly speculation..

not too sure about that though, seem they want to redesign a new product with decent features inside.

Has annyone tried this before? How is the XP2 compare to FAD Adagio III?

errr..when is the question..

i have a thing for flat cables

but more interested on how it sounds

just got a review up and running thanks to a friend.
Ordered a unit from Jaben =)

Can I say comparable? But FAD is a higher tier IEM while in every FAD there is 'something' special. I couldn't say it in words, unmentionable.

I found spring biscuit wrote some good review on his blog, do give it a read.

I personally prefer the XP3.

XP3 has more solid and warmish of sound presentation.

Latest unboxing video uploaded in first post!.

value for money! I tried Beyer XP1,2,3 and found that all of them sound better than Jays!! on the price of A-Jays 1, the sounding can beat A-Jays 3 and 4....! That's amazing!

That's what an audiophile brand, Beyerdynamic should sounds like... High end sounding...

thats really tempting! beyer + flat cable + cheap = mouthwatering

How does these compare to BA driver IEM? eg tdk ba 200

pretty different sound i would say, as Dynamic provides better impact, texture and extension while BA offers Detail and separation.

But... it is beyer we are talking about =P

BA and dynamic in general will sounds diff

Sound cool, me have Dynamics driver earphone from my Sony Ericsson x10 handfree, apple earbud n beats tours.
Impact from bass, for texture n extension not
identify.
Compare to Sony EX1000 Monitor how?

I just hope Beyer attacks the high end universal IEM market to compete head-2-head with AKG, Senn, Westone, etc. Let Dynamic Driver shine!

Btw, really wonder how would "Tesla" IEM sound like. Haha. Beyer let's make my dream come true!

On topic: It's good. I can't say it's definitely better than something pricier like Jays. But it's just good for customers wanting something special and control the budget below Rm200. Hey, RM199 is still Rm1 below Rm200! Haha.

yeap the pricing is pretty crazy.
I guess they are targeting entry market, and then moving up to the top.
Maybe it is a new production line for the brand.

It is not an easy task to compete with EX1000, as the price is such a big different.

but im confidently to admit this earphone can compete earphone in RM300 - RM700 range.

Looks like Beyerdynamic did it right on IEM this time.

already got in Jaben Penang?

Auditioned the XP1, XP2 (**20+ hours burning) and XP3 (no burning).
** I think somewhere around there...

XP1 is totally out.. LOL I'm not sure anyone here like the Bass but, if you like Beats then it's an OK, the Bass is just... overwhelm, so much that it covers much of the mid and high.
XP2 is balance, but the Bass IMO still high (perhaps more burning needed?), according to Sim (the shop owner), 3 of the units focus on Bass so I guess that's pretty much it.
XP3 is well, better, detail, clarity is in there, has potential and shall do another audition coming Saturday if not Sunday, definitely gonna choose between BeyerDynamic XP3 vs VSonic GR02 (Bass enhance edition).

For most audiophile, XP3 is top choice, XP2 is for most pop song, XP1... umm... I don't know, Beats lover perhaps? haha~

whoever is looking for more in depth review on all XP mode.

Look at http://www.head-fi.org/t/623923/review-bey...e-budget-market

Yes Topet...

thanks..will be visiting penang next week...

maybe buy it there

JVC-HA-FX101 vs Beyer XP1......i wonder which is a better bass monster?

Oh Jonspark, that I don't know either...

Well I have the FX101 and I do know that it gives me headache with its thumping bass that hit straight to your heart.

I think no headphone, earphone able to challenge Monster beats bass. They are just 80% about bass in the songs.

Read the review from swimsonny, it basically covers all the major signature in xp series

I think it should be able to cover everybody's preference of music. Clever Beyerdynamic.

Yup good idea to have 3 diff type of sounding iem in one series

Do you guys pair any of these iems with amps or u just plug and play?

Awesome earphone!! Awesome Beyerdynamic!!

Plug and play is fine, as this is not a power hunger or low sensitivity earphone.
But you can pair with a portable amp to make it sounds even better.

What portable amp do you recommend? I might use this on my sgs2 when I do my workouts.

shit i have been poisoned alrd. Find one day must go Jaben Penang to try it out

If you like portable and workouts, go for Govibe Mini box amplifier, it has light weight and durable aluminium design.

I personally like XP2.
sounds great! looks cool! flat cable!
and most important, it is Beyerdynamic!!

Beyer finally come out with something great on earphone~
I guess this will be the hottest entry level earphone for the following year.

demmm....waiting patiently...all sold out...can't wait...

heard that currently jaben is heavily out of stock, went there yesterday and that is what they told me, even there are a few customers purposely looking for that.

Good things always out of stock

hi thre, wonder if jaben pg outlet hv stock on these 3 iem?? if hv stock would like to grab 1 of the series =)

Why dynamic driver can cost start rm2+- to 2K +-?
The material, design ...
What the different

Same price range


This post has been edited by wkkm007: Aug 26 2012, 06:11 PM

Anyone from garage sales selling it?

Just got my beyerdynamic xp1 from jaben penang.. Very good iem for headbass.. Left my a-jays 3 & monster n-ergy aside.. Lol.

Beyerdynamic XP series are all bass oriented, no doubt, even after 30+ hours of burning of the XP3 still has some bass on it, it's due to the cable design, huge-flat~~ and the microphonic is pretty annoying if you move around much.
Compare XP3 to VSonic GR02 Bass edition, GR02 has much punch to the bass and detail (with the right ear-bud), while XP3 is much neutral across all bands (clarity/detail focus) but still has the muddy bass feels to it (cable design).
Overall Beyerdynamic has make it right (this time I heard?), and the shop (SCLG) here already has few pre-order for XP2 and XP3.

Personally , I might choose the GR02 over XP3 due to the microphonic issue, it's really big thing for me as I sit near my desk fan, it can get really annoying on a hot day. GR02 has smaller, softer cable that reduce the microphonic, for the rest, XP3 is a good choice, looks cool as well if you walk in the street, "hey! it's a BAAEEEYEEERRR~~"

Nice review!

The microphonic effect might due to the flat cable, however try to use it with the cable slider near to your bottom part of your face, it will reduce a lot.

The flat cable could be a plus, could be a minus, it is cool naturally, and it is anti tangle. Meaning no matter how you put it, it can't be tangled. It is also more durable.

Awesome earphone! Thanks for the Good review! I have been waiting for XP2 for quite some time....anyone waiting for Beyer XP also?

count me in...... waiting for XP3 to arrive...

RM199 is not even considered expensive, I've seen people spend over 10k for custom made ones

hehe of cause those 10k ones cannot be compare to this one

I don't know of any 10K CIEMs.

The most expensive CIEM would be the UM's platform pure or FitEars' stuff. but they're closer to 6K than 10K

Final Audio has universals that go up to 10k, yes....

Quite tempted to try xp3. anyone sellling at garage sale?

it is pretty new to the market, i don't think anyone is selling as 2nd hand, as it is too good to be sold off =D.

small batch had came into jaben, seem pretty limited, whoever is going to get one, hurry up!!

high poison area la here~
somemore windboy bro spread the posion everywhere~
controling myself now @@

Haha, good item must share share ma, sharing is caring.
Besides, it is Beyerdynamic !

*Updated first page with more reviews and information, whoever is looking for information about Beyer XP series, go for first page first post.

yerr~ today still havent come o my xp1, y so late.. sadding

o my, maybe they are busy sorting out the stock, good thing worth to wait =D.

*Come all Beyerdynamic XP users, report you name and it shall be listed in the post of honour in first page!

Sorry to keep all the people waiting... Everyone has been waiting for it, even me. I think it will arrive within this week.

XP1 has arrived

Sorry Windboy, I just auditioned the XP3 but not an owner, apology if I might have confused anyone, but I may (just may) pick up XP3 one day if I have some budget, it's a cool earphone but not suited my taste currently.

Note: Need more audition to poison myself to get it. *Looks cool*

xp1 really shows the bass power of metal songs / satanic songs

Sure bro, no problem for that =D

xp3 is gooding...

that's all i can say...

tenkiu walabies..

so i can hear clearer cookie monster growl from the devil?

cool

According to Beyerdynamic, this model only available in Asia!!! We get all the goodies!
WOOTZ, Luckily it is not available only is US.

http://www.head-fi.org/t/623923/review-bey...15#post_8657098

maybe in the US they got or getting something better leh

i think they are not targeting the XP range in US market, as USD60 and Rm199 are pretty different price concept in different region.
I believe they wan to price Beyer in more premium price range in US while XP series RM199 in asia region stand in a reasonable price point compare with RM10 earphone.

Bad news for all... our 50 biji Beyer XP finish again In two days.

True Proud Owner of XP3 (LMAO).
The story goes like this, I reached SCLG, and the boss straight tell me, GR02 all sold out, I was very disappointed, and he tell me to audition again; the XP3 vs the GR02, so I pick it up and have it another go, to my surprise, it beats GR02 hands down, burn-in 70+ hours result, you won't believe how different it is compare to 0 hour.
All the bands comes out, clear, treble, mids, bass, everything sounds so clear after 70+ near 80 hours. The vocal is now much forward, you can clearly hear almost every detail (can't compare to sub RM500+ one) and the muddy bass is reduced to almost Nil, according to him, best sounding will be after 150+ hours burn-in.
So for whoever wants the best out of this Beyer, Patient, you must be very patient, the TRUE quality only comes out after 80+ hours, 150+ hours recommended but 70+ already gave me the shock, "Is this what Beyer want us to hear???"
So I took out my wallet and now looking for burn-in music (or whatever noise) to let it run the whole night, of course with intermittent pause.

Can't wait to reach that 70+ hours burn-in result.... yeah... Beyer~~

Update: Faster burn in using JLABS Burn In Player, already can see some result such as reduce muddy bass and bands all come out but will need more time to get more details out from this unit.
FYI I just played for 7 hours+.

Can I pre order it walabies? Maybe with a Govibe mini box amp

Haha, that's great!

Now my using time is about 50Hours, didnt go for intensive burn in for that, as open box unit sounded pretty well.
Will add this as a tips for new users in the first page, thanks a lot for your contribution =).

This post has been edited by windboy: Sep 2 2012, 08:15 PM

Oh and to add to the burn-in, now I'm using movie soundtrack (by John Williams) *ahem* *ahem* from friend, he recommend me to use this as burn-in as it'll enrich some of the part that the JLABS burn-in tool won't do, I'll go straight with the soundtrack for couple more days (maybe just this week) before I start putting my own anime soundtrack (vocal, rock, pop, metal) to further tune-in.

At my current stage, after 7+ hours of JLABS, 9+ hours of movie soundtrack, the bands sounds smooth now, more mids compare to 7+ hours JLABS, of course I can't compare to the 80+ hours which is so great I want to exchange his with mine (very tempted).
Sound stage wise, still can't compare to my trusted oldie AT-CK300M, yes it was the one that slowly poison me into this world, old yet sound still great (burn until wire also stiff -.-;;)

Will burn-in again the whole day, probably rest 10+ minutes after 1 round (1 hour 50 minutes each round) try not to overheat the diaphragm .

p/s: Was suggested NOT to use JLABS burn-in tool after 20+ hours burn-in as it'll spoil the diaphragm like there's no tomorrow. True? I'm not sure, cause I'm using the movie soundtrack now as highly recommended, soundtrack is also good to enrich the bass, mid, and also detail of the instruments.

So if like the sound of GR02, should I go for XP3 or XP2?

GR02, can't compare with XP3 or XP2, they're on different signature, the GR02 is slightly on the high side, and the mid isn't as forward as XP3, probably XP2 is the choice but you need to audition them to find out, and you need to find XP2 with at least 50+ hours burn-in to compare

If you like GR02, i might recommend XP3.

The different between this two, bass of XP3 is definite stronger then GR02, while GR02 provides more balance sound.

In term of dynamic, fun and forward sound, i will recommend in XP3 as well.

Using the double flange in XP3 can provide more open sound as well.

tough choice there, coz I like balance and forward sound. Bass also need to be there but not overwhelming

XP2 then

XP3 bass is already quite a lot IMO, perhaps I was gotten used to AT-CK300M (almost neutral with solid deep bass only).
Either way, according to one of the Head-Fi review, all of the series has the same amount of bass, the only different is where the bass reside, XP1 has lots of mid-bass so the mid part can be a bit muddy IMO (need to audition this), XP2 and XP3 different is... erm, almost unnoticeable? Really need to audition all when they're above 70+ hours.
I only have XP3 myself so I can only say, it's great, with more burn-in, it could match my oldie AT-CK300M with just more bass.

For bass head, XP1 all the way, A-Jays? XP1 could replace it at better price point.

As for the double flange, my part it might looks weird as it's hanging mid-air at my ear, it only has 1 size for the double flange. I used one of my Galaxy Note stock ear tips and it fit exactly where I like them. Ear tips also play important parts in the sound, choose wisely.

Comply is also good if you want reduce the bass and it can gives much forward mid and high.

Overall, this baby needs real burn in to reach its true colour, you can't judge it out of the box (0 hour).

Definitely you can preorder. Which model?

Never heard of this issue. Just dont slam it with loud volume and let it rest for some time later is enough.

XP3 I guess, XP2 if you like more ohmp...

Use the single flange, it provides more forward/aggressive sound.

Bad News Test unit oso been Taken, Kuching - XP3 stock Zero xp

WHAT??!! Darn, was going to compare mine when it reaches 70+ hours, guess I'll just trust my ear this time.
