I seem to be the only one here seriously against the Bijou. I really, really dislike it.. No matter what bijou, 1, 2, 3 or 4, the bass all sounds really bloated and muddy, spoils the whole sound. To me it's a radical difference from the X3I, even though the bijou is supposed to be the successor(and in that matter, superior, i guess).

I much prefer the X3i, and simply don't like the bijou. I'm really guessing most of the people who love the bijous have never heard of the x3i, because it seems like crossroads took a step back when they designed the bijou to replace to x3i.

my friend had an x3i.. the cable died, and he went back to claim warranty. it got replaced by a bijou 3, which is supposed to be the replacement for the x3i, and he can't stand it as well. I also need to mention, barely a month after he got his new bijou 3, the cable started dying as well.

I heard the first batch of bijous were rushed out and there were serious quality control problems.. Like cables tearing, driver casing opening and stuff.

As you can tell I'm not too big a fan of crossroads products. But I'd avoid it if i were you guys. All this is IMHO of course
