joined today + first post = troll. Everything you reply after this is now discounted. You should get better headphones if your E5 sounds bad. There are countless number of better devices out there but I wouldn't say the E5 sounds bad.- moophus

I'm getting quite the opposite experience from you. Which phones you using with it? What source are you comparing this with? What kind of music are you experiencing the sub par quality with? Have you turned off all inputs not being used (bluetooth, line-in/mic, optical in etc)? Turned...- moophus

Sony XBA-2 re-cabled with apple earpod cables
Just wanted to share my latest project. Got a pair of XBA2's with a bad joint at the Y for incredibly cheap. Yesterday I re-cabled it with Apple EarPod cables and the sugru just dried up and they work great! I had to use a hairdryer for a long time to loosen the glue. Be very careful as...- moophus
