Sony center at bugis junction selling it at 20% disc ($350 after disc). Practically eligible for all sony audio products priced $100 and above.

Ask the sales guy for demo. I might have hoot it, but the fit and looks are weird on my ears. Sticking with my "less weird" TF10 for now....

1000th!

I just bought it from Bugis in the afternoon. Final price $350!

There isnt any sign stating that there is a 20% discount, you have to ask for it. The sales girl looked surprised and had to ask the store manager if there is such promo.

Can have your impression for the H3?
Tried today but was distracted by the IE800

Aw I Bought At $380

First impression is that the music is more layered, full bodied and soundstage wider. Just listen to Kids by MGMT, you can better feel the difference between the kids screaming and the music.
Details are preserved pretty well, although might lose a little to the pure BAs.
Bass is good and controlled, although it might come across as "boomy".
Oyea, the irritating piercing highs that Sony is known for is not present as well. All in all, very pleased with my purchase.

Lastly! Think maybe its the fit? or maybe its dynamic driver's small "opening"? So seal wouldnt be as good.

Still burning in the 16mm driver! Hopefully the Lows will continue to improve~!

Audio lineage as follows - W3 > UM3X > W4 (very briefly thgh) > XBA4 > XBA40 > XBA H3!
Output - Sound Blaster Digital Music Premium HD USB & NAD D3020!

Don't worry so much.... take that $30 as premium of early adopter.
Enjoy this great IEM!

Just went to bugis earlier today to do cny shopping. While i have made up my mind that H3 wont fit nicely into my ears, the temptation is still strong when i walk passed the sony center.

Hell froze over! I went in and snagged the last H3 on the shelf....

Enjoying it now...

Give it a good burn in... Like at least 200hrs and up. Bass should be more well behaved

 

[qubec2]

off-topic: SG anywhere can audition the 7550/ex800st ?

 

[weng]

Don't think so. Gotta see who has it and if the owner is willing to meet and let you try or not lor. If you have heard ex600 or ex1000 before, it's very similar. Same same sig with rather bright mids/highs.
