Sound Quality. The Sw-Xcape actually reminds me of how a warm RE0 will sound like. Like the RE0, Sw-Xcape is details driven. Sw-Xcape is also a balanced IEM. Like the RE0 it is has good details and the treble extension is good as well. Bass response is slightly better than Re0 but I still wish it was more in quantity.
In order to get a better bass, I do suggest using the Sony styled hybrid tips. In general, the Sw-Xcape is suitable for all kinds of music. Personally I find that Sw-Xcape is easier to drive and at no times do I feel that it requires an amp to reach its full potential like how I feel that about the Re0.
Song impression Don't stop believing by Glee cast Lea Michele is well supported by the good treble extension here. The details here is very good and you can hear the harmony of voices clearly. Mr Self-destruct by Nine inch nails Here, the bass response is good by the bass quantity can be better.
What I like most is the clarity of the song. This is quite heavily distorted song which can best test the clarity of the earphones. When played using a simple CD player, all I can hear is distortion from the sound. However, using the Xcape, it reveals more details within the distortion which is impressive. You can even hear sometimes the little breaths she took in during singing Conclusion As mentioned, Sw-Xcape is a direct competitor with Re0.
Ridiculous customer support that is, and you are trying to gain the market back?? Yeah right, now wonder its going down the drain In this time there has been plenty of products from the Android gang I have been drooling over.
The last couple of weeks though, I have really been considering giving up the wait and just go buy an Android phone. This thread especially putting some of the last nails in the coffin. You just don't sell a top of the line product with broken audio?? Come on. I guess it wasn't your intention to do so, but then at least be honest and admit that and tell us your doing everything to fix it.
Also, tell us that all new phones released have perfect sound. Hell you guys have been building phones for centuries, you can produce handset with excellent sound, we all know that. Rest assured I'm not buying your product if I can't be sure the issues are fixed in new handsets, and I will not advice any others to do either.
I read blogs and newspapers telling me Windows Phone struggling to get market share, Microsoft and others pouring tons of money into marketing. Being a long term Microsoft fanboy, Windows phone has been the only product I want. I'm I don't need all the marketing, what I need is a lovely designed product yes you made that , with no major flaws not there yet? I guess there are many more like me. If you can't sell product to the hardest fans, how are you gonna sell to the larger markets?
Beats me My previous phone was a nokia n8 and I've also used my sister's iphone 4s, using the same tracks and same music files.
There is more audio seperation between the different vocalists and instruments. There is less sibilance which is a good thing!! The bass is slightly less on the Lumia though. In short; 70ohm overall better sound quality than on other devices! No sibilance! Bass is less. Due to the bass being less, its a little bit flat.
In conclusion, the higher the impedance the better the sound quality gets. What opinion do you have about keeping things simple. I tested my phone with several headsets and it sounds worst than my dell latitude. Which is sad. The Xcape is a dry-sounding earphone on the whole but the terseness is most noticeable in the midrange with crisper, cleaner, and less reverberant notes than those produced by the RE-ZERO or similarly-priced Brainwavz M3.
The detail retrieval of the Xcape is difficult to fault and it keeps up with the ZERO, beating out the M3 and nearly anything else in the price tier, but the ZERO and M3 both sound softer and more fluid than the Xcape.
The ZERO, which has a more upward-tilted midrange balance, gives guitars more bite and female vocals more energy but the highly textured — almost too much so — sound of the Xcape, combined with a more downward-tilted balance, works well with male vocals.
The treble of the Xcape is quite a bit more straightforward than the midrange. It is crisp, clear, and detailed — about on-par with the HiFiMan earphones in quality.
The Xcape manages to sound analytical but at the same time neither cold nor bright — something very few other budget-minded earphones are able to accomplish. The reason, I think, is that the soundstage of the Xcape, with its greater width and depth, is more tubular in nature while the RE-ZERO manages to cover more area on a plane i.
Separation is very impressive and the crisp, clear treble gives the Xcape plenty of air. Since the earphone is so well-balanced, a V-shaped amp will result in the earphone attaining a slight v-curve in its sound signature and vice versa.
The slimmer housings of the Xcape are slightly friendlier towards those with smaller ears though the RE0 shells are already difficult to fault and the smooth, low-energy cable stays out of the way, just as it should.
Of course the most important factor is still the sound and on that front I can see personal preferences leaning a listener either way. Pros: Comfortable; user-friendly; very clear, detailed, and well-separated sound Cons: May be too dry or analytical for some.
