I had always been under the impression that customer service was excellent from both UE and Massdrop.   However, with the non-response time that just keeps on growing from both companies, I can't say that I've been at all impressed. When a logistical hiccup occurs, and you have passionate...

I've never heard either phone myself, but from what I've read, the two have sound signatures at the opposite ends of each other. Grado's have emphasized treble and less pronounced bass, whereas LCD2's have more authoritative bass and reduced treble.   Perhaps give a few days for your ears to...

Thanks hkppl. Just wondering, what's the reasoning behind them facing towards the sky?  

Hey everybody,   Just a quick question. Should the red and blue dots on CIEM cables be facing toward the sky or the floor when connected?   Thanks!

Interesting housing design. Looks like it would be difficult (and painful) to get a deep seal though.   How's the comfort?

I, too, went through Stephen Guo to get my Miracles reshelled by UM. I've been more than impressed with how quickly Stephen gets back to me whenever I have any questions or concerns. Today, in fact, he got back to me within minutes!   Perhaps shoot him another email just in case the first...

Mailed out my ear impressions and second-hand Miracles to the UM Lab for reshelling yesterday morning!    The ordering and customization process was a breeze thanks to Stephen Guo of custom-iem.com, who always responded to my numerous questions and concerns promptly and professionally. Not...

I began my Head-Fi journey with a humble pair of Sony MDR-XB40EXs just under two years ago. Since then, I've owned my fair share of headphones--from the highly recommended Audio Technica ATH-M50 to the polarizing Shure SRH940, the oh-so-classy AKG K550 to the luxurious tank known as the...

^ I believe the OP was looking for velour replacement pads.  

Quote:   That is fantastic! I'm glad to hear everything went smoothly and that Hidition's turnaround is surprisingly quicker than I initially assumed it would be. :)   I'll keep this in mind if I ever decided to venture into CIEMs. Do you know what Hidition's warranty policy is...

Quote:   Hey kiteki,   Did you notice any differences between them? Also, how did each compare to the T5P you like so much? :)

Has anyone found an effective way to permanently increase clamping force on these guys? That would make me a very happy owner. :)

Great question. I'm very interested in this too! :)   I had the AKG K550 for a brief period of time and some have claimed that it has a soundstage comparable to open headphones. Unfortunately, that was not my experience at all and I sold them off within a week, as I felt my CK10s sounded...

Have you double-checked to see if you've properly screwed in the detachable cable?

I tried both earlier today at Best Buy. I actually preferred the Downtown as well. The Uptown sounded noticeably cavernous.   Also, the Downtown was surprisingly really comfortable, and not to mention, quite stylish IMO.

Quote:   Thanks for the comparisons. Much appreciated! :)  

Hey MuppetFace,   I know you've spent some time with the Ultrasone Signature Pro and liked how they sounded. How would you compare it to the TH900? What do you find the TH900 does better, and what do you find the Signature Pro does better? Relative differences aside, how alike do they sound...

From my experience, if you want an IEM that is strikingly similar to the 940, I'd take a look at the Audio-Technica CK10. :)   High levels of detail retrieval, fantastic instrumental separation, and slight treble emphasis. Like the 940, bass is on the lighter side, but I find it has extremely...

This was a very entertaining watch. :)  

Just put in my order for a pair of these bad boys.   Now on to enduring the next agonizing week or so before they arrive...

Sorry to hear about your two consecutive bad experiences with Amazon. I know it can get frustrating, especially when it happens with an order for headphones. We all know how agonizing of a wait it is for new headphones to come in!   Yeah, I've had a similar experience. Bought a messenger bag...

Hey all,   Been interested in picking these up. However, before I go ahead and do so, could someone who currently owns (or has owned) both the Edition 8 and Signature Pro compare them to one another? Is the Signature Pro clearly the better headphone, or is it a toss up depending on what type...

Quote: Excellent! I'll PM michioga about the ordering process when I get the chance.   Would be great if you could you PM me the name of the user who ordered from the US, too. :P   You continue to be an invaluable resource Joe, haha.   ---   As an aside, I'm listening to...

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I really appreciate it. :)          Quote: So... has anyone recently ordered the NT-6?
