hello all.

i have a few questions.
does the bijou level 3 have more base than x3i?
how does the build quality so far?
is it still fragile?

do we need to burn it same as x3i to achieve optimum SQ

thanks.

thanks ClieOS for ur info
so the bass for bijou level 3 is overrated?
does it work best with rock genre kind of music?
say avenged sevenfold?

how bout UE Super.fi3 Studio, shure se110, shure scl2, cx500?
does it compete with mylar? or they r in another level?

do all iem need burning or just particular ones?

thanks in advance!

As for the bijou3 i think its pretty ok for rock music.. More bass the better..  biggrin.gif  But details sure suffer..
UE Super.fi3 Studio, shure se110, shure scl2, cx500 i would say a notch above mylar.. Price wise they are already above mylar..

But it all depends on individual preference.. Take all reviews with a pinch of salt..

Dynamic driver do need burn in but it depends on diff IEM coz they have diff burn in time...

BA driver do not need burn in i suppose but i think some burn in is required to loosen up the BA driver..  hmm.gif

Haha.. Juz get the 1 with the sound signature u like..

For me the UM2 sound signature is nice for me plus the design and the braided and soft cable is definately a plus..  thumbup.gif

Headphones also need burn in.. Basically what burn in does is it makes the diaphragm more elastic so it can produce more range of frequencies thus making the earphone/headphone sounds better.. Correct me if im wrong..  biggrin.gif  Like i said, diff brand have diff burn in time.. best to ask those who used the particular brand b4..

UM2 is more on the bassy side.. Love the bass... Great punch.. thumbup.gif  Details do suffer slightly but not much.. The highs is abit high for my liking making it abit harsh..
Seperation of instruments is good.. Took me 2-3days to really get used to the warm signature..

To me the positive out weight the negative by alot so no regrets getting it.. Great IEM to have i muz say.. Dual driver IEM already sounds this good.. Can't imagine triple 3 way drivers..  drool.gif

sigh...

as u said..cant imagine how triple 3 way drivers would sound...
sigh again...
