just received my bijou3 (gunmetal) and tried it. comparing it to my Sony walkman earphone wif few mp3 songs wif vocal and bass as well.

the following is a review from a non-audiophile person. Note that i tested it straight out from the box. no burn-in yet and i dun think i'm good in explaining audiophile item so bear wif me as well.

- the sound is clearer or a bit louder (i guess should be clearer coz if i turn the sounds louder for the sony earphone, i dun get the same effect). sounds like nearer as well.
- the bass is definitely better imo. more umph. much to my preference actually. tried it "biller piper - because we want to" and the bass totally beats sony earphone. i love it.
- downside is there is noticable white noise when i stop the music. compare to the sony earphone, there is no noticable white noise at all.

after 24 hours of burn-in, for a non-audiophile person like me, i dun really felt any noticable differences....

still after comparing wif my cheaper panasonic earphone (cost ard RM40~) and the sony earphone that bundled along wif my sony walkman NWZ-A726, i can only say this still:
- the sound is nearer or clearer or louder (not sure which) but definitely it's more centered in my head.
- the bass is more powerful and to my liking.

hi siowcharbor, i think u the one that recommended me this earphone and also thought me how to increase the bass for the same sony walkman that me and u are having...

yes...i agreed the need to adjust the equalizer. aren't we suppose to do that for different type of songs???
or we expect one equalizer mode to suits all types of song?

a bit ot here - what does signature means? what is dark what is bright???
