Better XLR's

I like the Xhadow's also but be warned that the pin diameter is slighly smaller than most others. Also, when inserted into some jacks they don't make a "click". Expensive too.

good to know...they always advertise tight fit...how can that be if pin diameter is smaller? is that even safe given grounding issues?

I only use

They are very expensive but you never bother with connectors again and you can change cable to your hearts content.

I have tried Xshadow previously

Regarding the pins being smaller, I only compared them to the Neutrik male. In my experience, I can't say they are a particularly tight fit. Should not be any kind of safety issue. Regarding Boccino, Carmine has been after me to try his connectors. Even with OEM pricing, I can't justify it. I'd have to raise my prices too much.
