Update: The bass is filling in nicely now even at this stage; I need to stress again how important it is to get a good seal. The tips are quite soft so the angle of insertion is crucial and a few degrees off the sweetspot could mean a world of difference!

Threw a variety of music at it and it handled them with aplomb, from Dance/House tracks (which I thought would find it wanting due to the initial lack of bass response), to rock songs, jazz tracks and various vocal-laden and acoustic-heavy tracks. All were dispensed with finesse and control. Please note that this is still very early yet in the burn-in period.

I need to be careful of gushing too much about the Mylarone, but I have a pair of Creative EP630s I bought for 'all-round-plug-n-play' use and I am totally convinced the Crossroads will assume that mantle with ease. It even manages to make my KSC75s sound slightly detached, but perhaps thats more to do with the greater intimacy of the Crossroads' IEM form-factor. This is all relative btw; I'm still very happy with the other two phones and I doubt anyone, bar the avid audiophile, would find fault with them for what they are. The Crossroads are just better all round!

Are there better headphones out there? Of course there are. But at RM100, you'd be stupid not to pick a pair up. At RM130, it would be a missed opportunity if you ignored them.

ps. Er, what happened? I thought the ear-tips were supposed to be black? No biggie.
pps. They passed the 'Prodigy - Breathe' test lol!

Lol PCWork thanks! Glad we agree on something. Remember our Klipsch GMX debate? But really, I struggled to find any negatives about the 'phones, except for minor things like the tips tend to come off quite easily, maybe they could do with a little more volume, and I wonder about its long term durability but that's nitpicking. A must try!
