Unique Melody Merlin

I've taken down my review of the Merlins and will repost it once I get them back. By now it's been 4 months and I've had them in my posession for no more than two weeks out of those 4 months.

Two weeks into the 3-5 week estimated turnaround time for my remolds/fixing and UM have gone back to maintaining radio silence. Not a word, not a single peep, no replies to emails. 

I love my Merlins but I'm starting to *really* dislike the customer service (or lack thereof) from UM UK. Just keep me informed, that's all I ask for. 

I really enjoyed these headphones.  They had everything I wanted in the low's miss and highs.  For me, the bass was just right, others say too much.  The fit was superb  and the workmanship as expected.  The bass port hole on the backside didn't bleed in outside sound as I listened.  This was one of my concerns.

The company was responsive to all my emails, until they got my payment.  After that it was 1 to 2 weeks for a response.  Their responses to emails were always vague and never directly answered my questions.  

Would highly recommend for those seeking good sound and a good fit.

This high end hybrid custom delivers on its promise of outstanding bass performance with very natural and well balanced mids and highs. Soundstage is phenominal and the entire presentation is somewhat unique. They could have gotten away with charging $1k or so like many other flagship customs - so although $779 is certainly not cheap, it is a relative bargain.
