  The $X(3872)$ is the first and the most interesting one amongst the abundant
$XYZ$ states. Its mass coincides exactly with the $D^0\bar D^{*0}$ threshold
with an uncertainty of 180 keV. Precise knowledge of its mass is crucial to
understand the $X(3872)$. However, whether it is above or below the $D^0\bar
D^{*0}$ threshold is still unknown. We propose a completely new method to
measure the $X(3872)$ mass precisely by measuring the $X(3872)\gamma$ line
shape between 4010 and 4020 MeV, which is strongly sensitive to the $X(3872)$
mass relative to the $D^0\bar D^{*0}$ threshold due to a triangle singularity.
This method can be applied to experiments which produce copious $D^{*0}\bar
D^{*0}$ pairs, such as electron-positron, proton-antiproton and other
experiments, and may lead to much more precise knowledge about the $X(3872)$
mass.
