On the standard IEM front, you've got the $80 XBA-1, $200 XBA-2, $280 XBA-3 and the $350 XBA-4, which as the names imply, feature single to quad-driver setups. To get an idea of sound quality, we played sections of Bassnectar's "Bass Head" along with Jimmy Eat World's "Futures," while going back and forth between the headphones. The XBA-1's single mid-focused driver delivered acceptable performance with a decent amount of clarity, but it unsurprisingly struggled to reproduce lows and highs, sounding slightly thin and tinny - reminiscent of our time with the (now-defunct) Nox Audio's Scout.
