I'm not a Microsoft fanboy by any means, but I've had far fewer issues with Microsoft headsets with those of Logitech.

I tried the pushing and twisting but I never hear a click or a feeling that it's secure. I tried the cable from v-moda and it's the same the jack doesnt go fully in. Such a waste because I actually like the SQ of these. I can't have it falling out on me like that. Even beats lock their jack in. This is disappointing on UE's side

I just clicked mine in and out several times, you may have a bad unit.  I have a solid, secure fit with a confirmed click.

 

Silly question, but are you plugging in the end with the 3-button remote closest into the headphone?

No, sounds like your plug needs to go in further.  I have blue plastic from the plug inside the black of the headphone, no gold plate.

These have not changed at all from out of the box until now, well maybe slight improved bass impact.  For me, no need for burn-in on these, go for it!

I just posted this now. I'm not a fan of Logitech products due to QC issues over the years. I'm skeptical of Ultimate Ears QC. Same way that I'm skeptical of Astro gaming products due to their parent company being Skullcandy.

Logitech has a quite a few products being manufactured by in the same factories Microsoft utilizes (since you referenced) ^^

 

QC is typically lower for high volume factories since they push much more product than competition, though support is generally better as they don't loose much resupplying you with an item if anything goes wrong. Infact a lot of the times, you're paying for the production cost of 2-3 items when you purchase a "product".

It seems to me their pricing is very fair given the competition. But I do worry about quality issues. 

 

Listening to a measured good UE4000 now...very good as well...very good for $100.

 

Never heard a Microsoft headphone that sounded any good.

Hi tyll! I was wondering, you prefer the UE6000 over the Amperior???? I've read a couple of people saying that the UE6000 is better. I was about to buy the amperior.... But reading all these god reviews... Maybe ill buy the Ue6000 instead... AHHHH I want to be rich and buy all the headphones  IN THE WORLD!!!!!

How perfectly off topic and fitting to ask such a question.

 

I know this wasn't directed at me, but what are you implying?
