I think it's best to read reviews and impressions. If you've found an author which you think you can understand, his impressions should matter to you. No other comparisons should have any validity.

Good to know, but I think it is time to compile all the comparisons together into one table. Anyone up for the challenge? I think the list should include at least the following IEMs:
UE900
W3, W4/4R
SE535
FA-3E
PFE232
Heir 4.Ai
I don't think it needs to be too complated, just some overall options on how the IEMs compare to the UE900 will do.
I did a comparison with the PFE, 4.Ai, and W4. Link is in the OP. I'm mobile right now.

I actually don't want to comment because I think the SE535 is very over-hyped. I didn't like it at all.
However, I have mentioned the German Fischer Amps FA-3E quite a few times and everybody who has heard both, FA and Shure, agrees that the FA-3E is a much better SE535 (regarding technicality and tuning).
I did a close comparison of FA-3E with the UE900 (as did others) in a German forum and the UE900 still won.
I wanted to read that in English.. Google translate didnt help much

They can help keep your IEM in place. That's about it though :p There might be some other uses. I know Aurisonics suggests using them to stablize the IEM in your ear and allow a more comfortable fit (helps a bit for smaller ears since the Aurisonics housing is large).
Nice, can't wait to see impressions :p
I don't know if there is anyone who's heard both yet. If there is, I'm sure they'll tune in soon :)
How do you wrap your U.E 900, I want to take care of them to my best ability. The small box that comes with it, do you put it in there? Could you show me a pic of how you wrap and put your U.E 900 away?

I have compared all of the above except for the W3 (which's tonality is regarded as total crap so I never even considered it) and I have shared my impressions here and there, but mostly in a German forum.
W4 and PFE kinda jump out of the pool as "special". One being very soft and relaxing, the other being an aggressive V-shape.
The rest is relatively comparable. My conclusion is that subjectivity will determine anyone's favorite. At this level I think the performance is very good with each and personal preference will decide. I don't see the use of a comparison table.
Maybe my hearing is also not as good as I think.
I own the W4,W3 and use to own the GR10. I think the best of the three for rock, metal, and electronic is the Westone 3. Not because it´s the best sounding of the three, It´s because it´s the most "fun" earphone. You should try them sometime.
I got my UE 900 a month ago and after a while the part where wire connects with the left driver became stiff and I experienced a bit sound loss. I didn't think it was a big deal and just thought it was a part of the design flaw of the rotating wire and connector. So I gave it a couple spins and then it's all back to normal. Weird.
But recently the wire became harder and harder to spin and now it's completely jammed--meaning I cannot rotate the left side at all, it's just stuck in place--whereas the right side I can keep spinning like normal no problem.
So I tried to remove the wire on the left side to the connector... and I didn't really give it that much force but the casing came apart:mad:. Thankful it was just the casing I could put it back. I hope I didn't do any permanent damage? I think I have to find something to glue the casing tight again
Anyhow does anyone have any advice on how to remove the wire on the left side connected to the headphone? I might find a shop and have someone do it if I cant get it on my own

Listen to this song with the U.E 900, her vocals are amazing, I love the strings on this and they sound so amazing.
