~~~Crossroad Mylarthree Reviews~~~

Crossroads, a Korean company seem to have a kind of local hit with the Mylar One. It is likened to the UM1 in sound. Having owned the UM1's I never could get used to the sound, too thinny, not enough oomph The UM1's have found a new master and the EB's have stayed to serve. The Mylar Three are cut from a very different kind of wood, I would say a different kind of tree! They come as close to the Super.fi 10's as any IEM I've ever heard. They're not perfect clones though. The sound stage is less wide and the highs are a bit brighter, even shrill sometimes. Build quality is a lot less too. Crossroads have had a lot of troubles with QC, the MylarOne suffered from faulty drivers. Let's hope they learned and that the MylarThrees are more durable. The cable feels cheap and suffers from microphonics. Wearing the IEMs Shure style (behind the ears) solves that problem. The colors are not very stylish but so are my (white) EB's. The flanges that come with the Mylar Three don't give a good seal which I solved by using the flanges from my EB's. The result was an ever better seal! I used my 4g iPod with my trusty LDM+ and the following tunes:

- 50 Cent - Candy Shop
- Alan Parsons Project - Wouldn't want to be like you
- Howard Shore - Lord of the Rings 2
- Rob Zombie - The Sinister Urge
- The String Quartet - Tribute to Slayer

i'm impressed with mylarone SQ, playing vocal is an ear opening experience to me with mylarone.

output is detailed... bright... and natural. sounds segregation of each instrument were nicely done. really out of my expectation for this price range.

still burning in... will try on my sijosae class ab later and see how it sounds...

overall, i think the money was well spent... looking forward for mylar3... yu heng... quick quick pm me, so i can bank in. smile.gif

LDM+ is a headamp, it is a type of amplifier unit to boost up the sound to make it sound better, brighter, more detail and obviously more louder.

IEM = in-ear monitor ... earbud earphone... those earphone u stuck into ur ears for listening pleasure one... know?

I'd pay an extra rm30 for the improvement over MylarOne.. provided that if I haven't bought it yet.. rolleyes.gif

seriously.. anyone who owns both the MylarOne and MylarThree care to give some comments about the differences? and does it justify the upgrade.. whistling.gif

Just received mylarthree just now tongue.gif .
Initial impression, great color combo (black+red stripes) but the design still the same as the mylarone though. The 'tak tak tak' annoying sound when you insert the IEM into the ears has gone. One more thing, with the S size sleeves i use, the mylarone appears to have a better isolation than the mylarthree.


Sound quality wise i couldn't describe it yet as its still burning-in but i think there is a little improvement over the lower range there compared to mylarone.

Well, thats my initial impression. Haven't fully tested it yet biggrin.gif


updated: i replaced mylarthree with mylarone small size sleeves and the result was....OMG bass too strong until my head also goyang. Looks like the different sleeves have different effect rclxub.gif

Have been listening on the mylar3 since it arrived 7 hours ago (I did remove it periodically though). First impression was the isolation were really kinda bad. They don't provide a good seal no matter how I adjust them, and I found out that pushing it too deep had obvious negative effects on the sound quality. I would definitely want to switch to a better IEM sleeve soon.

However, it still sounds sweet smile.gif more refined highs, a tad bit better soundstage, and very musical. Very detailed mids with high resolution. The bass wasn't as good though, due to the seal/isolation. I'd bet it would be much better with a sleeve change.

ok. gotten mylar3 from yuheng around 7pm+ still burning in...

overall experience, comparing mylar1 and mylar3 in short:

mylar1 - bright, light, natural clear sounding. (more suitable for jazz/accoustic with flat bass or non-sustain bass music genre)
mylar3 - improved low and mid, thus making it less bright as mylar1, but more balance. (well rounder for all genre of music)

paired both with sijosae class ab headamp (built by thedoctor to handle my shp895)... err nothing much be heard... just louder (unamped volume at 80%, amped at 40%).. and some high being filtered.

well, just my personal thoughts.. hope u guys would be sharing ur experience too with other different headamp. smile.gif

forgot to add... i think mylar1 has better isolation... and more comfortable to wear than mylar3. how come ar? bcox of the sleeve/tip?

Reviews, review from the seller. You can choose to believe me you can choose not to. tongue.gif

First the build quality, design issue.
First of all, many would complain about the COLOUR used for the casing. RED?! wth... I am totally disagree with the red casing. It makes you like holding an ang pow walking around. Lucky the IEM arent all red blink.gif
The shirt clip and cable manager are gone, maybe the manufacturer thinks it's not really useful (?). Cable manager makes it heavier, dangling, and until now I still cannot figure out how to fit in the shirt clip blink.gif
Out of all drawbacks, there's some hidden improvements in the built quality. First, the cables are thinner, with a different material used, thus reducing the microphonic effects. The cables are also longer, try compare it with mylarone, suitable for those who's over 200cm sweat.gif I doubt my buyers have this height.
The red hard casing is round, thus easier for you to unzip/zip, do I call this a plus? laugh.gif
With me having some experience on IEMs, and own both the mylars, and base on the reviews the buyers discussed. I would conclude some of the sound quality here.
Similar to M1, M3 offers a tremendous amount of details. The bass is much more fuller, some call it deep. Some feel the M1 has slightly lack of bass (which I dont). Now a fuller bass respond could satisfy most of their needs. The mids are very lushful, maybe due to more leaning on the lower frequency. However, it doesnt neglects the trebles, it's smooth and 'round'. (er... as oppose to sharp?)
Both of them has some precise soundstaging for an IEM, in fact, it has more upfront staging.
Overall, it's more to a warm phone as oppose to the brighter brother M1.
Seriously this IEM could easily blow the bright KSC75, trounce the "bottomless" UM1 and ER6i (dont kill me UM and ER users), slaughter the sony and philip buds etc.
The isolation, hmmm, I would suggest the users to use a larger sleeve... If not, you gotta look into other option of sleeves. *Quoted: Play around with the sleeves and you will find that once you get a good seal, you will have a very good soundstage and deep bass.
These mylars amping capabilities arent so high. Not yet found a suitable amp for it. So I really dont mind without any amp with it.
The QC problem seems like solved. (Seems). Good news to me though.

Gonna give a short review about the m3 that i received yday.

First off, i'm just a newb in audio stuffs as I was using some cheapo earphone previously
and I don't really understand the audiophile terms eg bright, punchy bass (wth is tis tongue.gif ), soundstage etc etc.

Initially this earphone does not projects much bass but after some burn in's, I can feel the bass getting stronger. Personally I like the music with lotsa guitar strumming such as acoustic, IMO mylar3 does very well for this the guitar strumming, the sound is very detail.

The isolation of the default sleeves seem not really good compare to mylar1, I switched them for a better sound isolation and the bass is getting more powerful.

One thing i dun really like of mylar3 is the hardcase, the red hardcase ohmy.gif ohmy.gif
too girly for me i guess. laugh.gif laugh.gif

Anyway besides the hardcase the mylar3 is a great IEM for this price range.

ps: thx yuheng for willing swapping the defect mylar1 to mylar3 to me biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
