hmm So the best choice for a Classical music listener who don't use an amp is the X3i?

hmm with this X3i there is a louder background noise compared to my previous earphone.

Could it be due to my 128kbps mp3 ? doh.gif

Shud be mate, my 128 became inadequate after getting my Aurilium sound card and Z5500D. Really could hear all the hiss, pops and crackles.

But those i ripped myself to 128 last time didnt have noise tho, just that not as clear and sweet as when i played the CD itself. CD is still the best. smile.gif
QUOTE(yuheng @ Dec 19 2007, 09:57 AM)
louder background is due to the higher gain from ur sources, mean ur sources high elec out....
try some lossless songs as well


Looks like I have to start buying CDs.. laugh.gif

I bought 2 sets of x3i.. One for me and one for my friend.

My friend's one popped open like the one above. But he managed to push it back in. laugh.gif

Depends how you handle them, If normal use I can say it could last more than half a year , but don't be too harsh on the wires biggrin.gif coz its very thin

But the Mylar itself is very light , don't have to worry if fall down
*
Half a year?

I believe it can last more than that if you take good care of it.
