Sorry, we don't have the carbon fiber patterns available at the moment, but hopefully in the near future. ~

Given you do more manual labour did you give your audiologist any specific instructions when getting the impressions done (ie in addition to keeping still with your mouth open)?

 

 

 

Hey there mate, 

As previously stated by Mr Gou above, we don't offer CF weaves at the moment.  We would do a complex artwork print for you and put it on, however we (at UMAus) don't think this would offer an equivalent look to a full CF weave insert.  

If you will be doing lots of manual work and experiencing a lot of ear canal movement, we'd suggest you get open mouth impressions, obviously keeping your jaw as still as possible and ask for your ear canals to be made slightly wider than usual.  This may compromise comfort somewhat, but will ensure you have a higher likelihood of maintaining a great seal even through the most rigorous of activities.

That's exactly what I did. My audiologist used a 2" bite block and I also sent an email to Sam asking him to make the canal portion larger (Whether or not he understood is what worries me). I'm guessing they would simply not take off as much when sanding the impressions... or add an extra layer or two of wax. Anyway, I asked him to do it last time I needed a refit and it seemed to do the trick...

Thanks for the advice and feedback. And no, I won't be using a silly pic of CF weave!

@ MaoDi/project_86 (or anyone else who has tried a few different UM's)

I want to know how the Aero's compare to the Mage as I can get a decent deal on the Aero's ($450) while the Mage's are still a bit too expensive ($668).

I have pretty much settled on these to replace my ER-4P's since I live in Beijing so not only does the should the sound signature suit, but the turn around should be a little quicker.

Thanks

Phil

Any idea how the Mage compare to the Westone 4? I wonder which sounded better putting the isolation aside?

i wanna get mage from unique melody. Is it suitable for listening to classical(almost all famous composers), soundtrack(hans zimmer and john williams) and jazz

Thank you

Anyone knows what the PCB chip in the UM Mage is for? 

...for them to know and you to find out?

(LOL) because I found it pretty unique to have a chip like that inside. Wonder if it has to do with an active crossover or an on-board amp? Nobody knows, but sure is cool! 

Passive crossover.

A lot of guys have been asking about really specific details about our IEM!  We're here to help you guys...not for you to fleece our IP!

I see :O, so is there any function for that chip?
