Hi guys :) I have the Sony XBA-4. I'm interested in the H-3... But what is/are the difference(s) between the XBA-4 and the H-3 in terms of sound quality ?   Technically, which one is the best ?

Ok thanks !   So this would be a very good thing for my xba-4... Well, thank you for you answers, I think I'll go with the E6 :)

Thank you for your Answer I would really like a very small thing, not somerthing too heavy, as the iPod Classic is already quite heavy. And what about the output impedance of the E1 ? And the E6 ? Would it be better for my xba-4 ?

Nobody ?

Hi,   I have an iPod Classic (the last generation), and the Sony XBA-4. The iPod's sound is correct, but that's all. So, I was wondering if it could be enhanced... Besides, the iPod classic has an output impedance around 5 Ohms. My earphones, the Sony XBA-4 have an impedance around 8...

thicker ?! I thought the size of the iPod classic didn't change since the third generation...    The Classic I ordered has this size : 4.1 / 2.4 / 0.41     On the apple website, the size of the Classic has exactly the same size as the one I ordered on Amazon   So, I may have the new...

After having thought a moment, I think I surely bought the latest generation apple is currently selling. Why would Amazon sell an old version ? Because, when you type on amazon.co.uk "ipod classic", you directly find the one I bought, not the one which is said to be the 7th generation.   ...

Mine has 160go. I bought it on amazon.co.uk I hope it is the latest model apple is currently selling... How could I be sure that this is the latest version ? (i will receive it sunday or monday, is there something that I could check when I receive it ?)

I've just realized that I ordered the iPod classic 6th generation, and I believe there's a newest version, the 7th generation... Is there any difference between the two ?

Quote: Yes, I'm 19. So I don't really like the old designs   I've ordered the iPod classic, it is not expensive at all (220 euros), so I think it is the best quality/price music player (sorry I'm french, so I don't know how to say "le meilleur rapport qualité/prix ^^)

Ok, thanks :)   So, in fact, if you hadn't known about the output impedance of the earphones you've just tried and if you hadn't known about the 8:1 rule, you would never have pointed out that there was any problem ?   So, with the Classic, would it be a problem to use my XBA-4 ?

thank you, I'm waiting for your "report back" :)

According to what I've read, the XBA-4 seem to react very differently from one music player to another.  Some people say it sounds great with sony walkmans, whereas they have a high output impedance...   I also own an iPod nano 5G, and, though it has an output impedance of 5 Ohms, it...

Quote:   I own the XBA-4, and I really like them. But I'm wondering if they are at the same level than other earphones such as the SM3 or the Westone 4.    First, what are the major differences between the XBA-4 and the XBA-40 ? Do they both offer the same amount of details ? Should I...
