Unique Melody Remold Appreciation and Impressions Thread - Page 10

I am certainly not promoting UM. However, my experience with UM and looking at their build and prices, i'd thought i'd everyone know about this. I'm am not bias in anyway, i have not made a comparison of UM to any other company and simply stated they are better.

I have listed information on their products and not many people know about them, and because i will be doing a review on them and thought i would familiarize the community on them before my review is launched.

I'm not sure how you think that i am "promoting" UM or being "bias" with them, but all i am here is to help answer questions, provide information, and let the community know about them. Why? because as many may know trying to contact Sam is a difficult situation since Sam isn't fluent in English. So i stand myself as a translator for questions and information.

Also, if you think stating UM does remolding for $80 is bias towards UM, and putting down Null Audio. Then you've got it all wrong. It's simply a fact that UM does remolding for $80 USD, however it does not include a cable, where are the $169/$179 remold from Null Audio is done by UM, but you also get the Enyo cable costing $69. Since you are paying for two companies now, it's slightly more than paying for simply one company.

I'm sorry, but i think you truly are offending me. I've been reviewing products since three years ago. if i were to be bias and like "plugging in" company's because they send me stuff for review, all my posts would be a mess and my reviews would be useless as all they would say "THESE ROCK, GET THEM!". But no, i believe that if a company deserves to be mentioned into the occasion, then they shall be. There's no reason to leave them out, yes i am receiving their brand new monitor for testing and review, however there is no reason for me to be bias towards them. I've received products worth multiple times the product.

Myself isn't here for people like you to put down cause you think i mention UM too much. Rather i'm just here to help others for information. Like i said, if a company deserve to be mentioned, then they shall be.

Typically if the impression is used to make custom monitors, you need a full silicone impression including the Helix, Tragus, Anti-Tragus and all the way pass second bend. Cotton dams are recommended, with an one-inch bite block. (Open mouth impressions are recommended by many manufacturers, not a strict requirement though.

Yes i understand where people like Richardson are coming from, however it would be easy to spot that that is the way i discuss and inform the community if one could just take the time into looking into my posts before accusing. i'm offended not mainly because of his accuse, but his fowl way of language and words mainly.

So clarification. I'm not affiliated or "promoting" in anyway for and to UM. I am simply here to discuss about the company, and also provide useful information for others that they may not receive since the Company lists some information in Chinese.

Can't wait to hear about your remolds if you do get them =) Like i said, i will be receiving the new Quad drivers that's going to be released soon, so i can provide impressions and a review soon after.

Someone asked me for their email to do that JH13 remold, because they bought the monitor off of someone else and needed it remolded to their ears and JH Audio doesn't offer this service.

That makes me tempted to buy a pair of somebody else's custom and get them remolded if a pair of ES3X went for $300...but i'm a problematic guy. I don't let anyone but the people iknow have clean ears touching any of my gear...

how much does the re-casing cost via uniquemelody? (TF-10 to quad driver)

remolding itself cost $80 USD, and adding a pair of drivers cost about $120. So your total would come to around $200 USD plus shipping

how much does a newly built quad-driver custom cost?

They also make their own custom monitors, their quad driver custom that is soon to be released will be roughly $600 USD plus shipping.

if they don't do the new quad-driver one, how much does the triple driver one cost?

Their triple driver custom, the AERO SH is approximately $490 USD plus shipping, it has a silicone/acrylic hybrid shell where the canal part is silicone to provide extra comfort. However, UM themselves told me that they recommend just a plain acrylic shell rathe than the hybrid as it's longevity is longer.

do they do acrylic and silicon casings?
No, all their monitors are offered in Hard acrylic shells with the exception that the AERO SH is available with a hybrid shell that has a silicone canal.

Not sure if they offer their cables in LW connectors. You could always use the stock LW cable
