may b is that time ... a guy rush out from the lrt hooked my earphone out -.-
then it became loose dy

Sad to hear that... Hope it doesn't spoil.

i got another question~

i been hearing hissing sound lately.... quite annoying sometime while i did not play any audio , got any way can reduce the hissing sound ? O.O

what's your source 1st of all?
what format of audio are u listening to?
where u get your songs from? [Download? ripped from original disc?]

most of the case is cause by the sound quality from the music[i mean the recording is bad].
other case is download the bad compressed audio.

That means your ears are sharper now. Can hear all the details.
The hissing is from your poor recording...

it is from apple shuffle / laptop / pc while din turn on any audio -.-""

ei no hissing sound coming from my mylar x3i wor. even if it's in my ipod shuffle and laptop. ur x3i draws alot of current ke to hav such hissing sound.

No hissing from mine also even with my d2 crank up very high. Maybe yours is a parsel mouth from the bloodline of slytherin...hiss...hisss...

aik aik , no hissing sound ? dunno @@ .....

it got that "white noise" sound?

i think you should bring back to walabies or yuheng, have them to check for you.

Do you mind checking with other source? Other computer, other songs? If it persist then I could do a checking and replacement for you.

ok , check with other source first , but nowadays having finals , a lil busy =p

OK let us know anytime...

Hey ya, just wanna ask what Ety tips can fit the X3i? I'm looking for foamies now because I've heard they are the best for sound isolation, fit and sound quality.

try the new comply tips from walabies... ^__^

comply's good. just get one.

Errr walabies has the complys tips? Don't seem to be able to find his sales thread.

Haha, secretly selling ma. I last time got 10 pairs all sold out, this time I got 30.

Eh? What are complys tips? Haha, I don't think I can get them from walabies or yuheng anyway cuz I'm in Sydney atm, so I can only get them from headphones.com.au

as promised , this is my comparison on the new lbi and svi...

alrite, let me talk about what shall i compare 1st, i will compare

x3i vs svi
x3i vs lbi

* i do not compare lbi and xbi as it is really similar, very similar, the only differences is the bass level

before start, let me introduce on the new lbi and svi.

svi is the low bass version of x3i, which sound similar to etymotic, having a bright signature, but clear seperation.
lbi is the low bass version of xbi, having less bass than xbi, but still retained its dark/cool signatures.

x3i and svi.

i do not going to compare it songs by songs as to the proper review format, but i will tell on general, what is the differences, i felt this shall be more appropriate as they sound is pretty similar, it is not like an apple and oranges, so i dont think i need to tell any single details for both. All rite, the svi is basically low bass of x3i, having the same little laid back signatures, with the new svi, i felt it similar to etymotic signatures, which give u clearer separations than x3i, with less but accurate bass. but most of us shall forsee that bright signature doesn't give lively involvement, i do have to admit so but to be honest, it give a real, and accurate involvement rather than bass bumping. svi having better separation, this might resulted as remove of low frequency distortion. without focus on low freq, it giving clear vocal(clearer breath sounding), and greater drum impact. svi giving greater details but i shall say, it is the mind sets problem, coz when bass is focus, some mid-range details shall be ignored but when bass isnt focus, u could actually pick up all the details easily. it is a good start for entry level guys, who keen to furhter their purchases on etymotic, u can get that and try how was the signature, who know somebody might love that after that, it is more neutral, the bass is accurate, when it is not there, u wont listen any bass, i shall sound abit like IM716. svi do sound good after adding an amp, it is more obvious when compared to x3i but provided the amp is good enuf to push this easy drive IEM. it make more airy, rounded bass and warm down the signature by adding my RA The Secret

x3i vs lbi
allrite guys, i will say, lbi is equally good when compare to x3i, as being read so many review, i assume that u guys understand how xbi sound, it is dark/cool signatures, same as lbi, it is same dark and cool, it is more on forward signatures, which give u super involvement feels as darken sound. it suit to listen on hi-fi songs as for darker feelings. Back to the topic, when it compare to x3i, on the bass level, i shall say still lbi is one small little tiny step up from x3i, it is not as strong as xbi, but the bass level is more than enuf for most of the users. lbi having a clear forward sound, with less focus treble, meaning less digital but more analog sounds. it give u different kinds of feelings when u listen on x3i and lbi, i will not conclude which is good, which is bad, but i clearly have to tell u guys, it is honda and toyota, it is really hard to tell , which is good, as it greatly depend on ur preferences. as for x3i, i think i do not talk much on that, as u can refer that on the sales record and customer feedbacks. When i done all this comparison, i shall always remind u guys, when i said xbi or lbi bass good, i do not implied that x3i bass lousy, no bass. I don't know why most of the users always make assumption that x3i having a low or lousy bass. but as for non-basshead users, x3i confirmed to have enuf bass for you. Most of the customer asking me that, how come x3i having this good bass.......so , pls do not assume that....xbi/lbi good in bass, x3i lousy in bass....

this is the bass level ranking
xbi>Lbi>x3i>svi

thks for ur time.
