SE-5 sounds richer and more organic, but smaller.

Thanks

How about PP6 and Miracles' midrange?

if Miracles' is denser and clearer?

I love larger soundstage of Miracles, even though i didn't listen to it yet.

But I just little worry about the less dense sound will torture me, like EX1000 which is quite weak at midrange.

Well that is an interesting take...
The Miracles are slightly U shapes, not perfectly flat. The PP6 must not be much more U shaped I think.

Well, it's all part of life's rich tapestry, I suppose.

 

I'm more interested in Fitear 335 or similar, rather than PP6. Just seems over-engineered for not much improvement.

 

Joe, I'll add my voice to the hundreds who've already said this - purleez get some custom UM Miracles to compare all the other CIEMs with. That'd be a Rosetta Stone, comparison-wise, for a great many head-fiers.

 

 

In the meantime, thanks for the PP6 review beerchug.gif

 

I can't comment on the amount of improvement, but I do think the PP6 and Miracle share a similar sound, at least from everything I know about the Miracle.

The PP6 has a nice richness to it.  Not as dense as the SE5, but not as thin as EX1000; nice middle ground!

PP6 cable is really annoying! After 4 months of use, it becomes really loose.

I mean they delayed the delivery to change the cable design to something that is more secure, obviously didn't work.

Am seriously considering just using a glue.

Or, you can build up the connector area with nail polish, which will create more friction and keep the connector on.  Or glue, but super glue could discolor the shell.

If you use a cyanoacrylate based glue (superglue) you could damage it, there are other options like sugru (sugru.com) which is very effective IMO, you could use hot-melt adhesive too both are very effective and will made the cable more secure

I would second the nail polish solution. Any kind of  glue has a higher chance of creating the problems mentioned above, and is irreversible. I had the same issue with the demo PP6. By the time I got the unit the cord would keep popping off the ear pieces. I took the liberty of adding a thin but substantial coat of clear nail polish around the connector, let it dry slightly, and then reattached the cord. Works like a charm.

Anybody else's thoughts on these headphones?

I've had them for a few days and A/Bd them to the Miracles and UERM. Only tried via USB and AUX-IN though. Very brief conclusions here.

 

Bottom line, I don't think they're worth the premium over the Miracles, unless you're keen on the box.

Hello

I have them and other IEMS,S. as well to AB test and I have . Although right now I am waiting on a refit from UM .

Others I own are

HEIR 8a / 4AI
jh 16 rechelled by Um all new drivers from JH FIRST.
JH16/JH3a combo freq phase
TG334 fitear
AND the PP6

Here is my findings

The pp6 is I beleave is the most accurate and neutral IEM of them all. The sound is consistent
Never bloated or overdone . This is with the bass boost off of course.

It's some what vailed to a point due to its neutrallity. But more musical overall the others I have.

So in the end I love them for what they are very detailed in all aspects and non fatiguing because of there neutrality.

Now why do I own all the others well I tend to like analytical brighter headphones, IEM,S

AND speakers to as I own a infinity reference 1b,s . Bright and very detailed . Need good sources
Or it all sounds horrible.

Not that all the other IEM,S are not hat level of revealing they are not only the TG334is are that revealing .
I am ordering the hidition Nt6pro next , it's what I like. Also I own the senn HD800
Yet another bright revealing headphone . So i hope this helps pls you in your purchase.

Ps UM is a first rate company as heir andnJH ARE they all respond to emails and resolve what issues you may have . Also as of now there is no cross connect cable for the pp6 . They say it is coming SOON so if you buy them it is onlynwithnthe amp ...

Good luck
Look up avg joe reviews as well the guy is a wealth of well detailed info and makes what I say seem some what retarded even when we say the same thing , he has that knack for saying SO well.

I really can't say much about the value over the Miracle without also having a customized version, but I do have to say the performance is quite a bit better than the IERM.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Al, and glad you like them and hear them similarly to how I described them in my review.

Do you think the active phase alightment over a passive phase alignment makes a difference in sound?

Sure does. However unlike speakers, balanced armatures behave in a very different way so it's not clear how effective active xo is in IEM's case.
