Quote: Going along with this tip; I find it best to pull gently until you have a big enough gap to fit a fine tip flat head screw driver(precision drivers) small enough to fit between the pins, then use a rolling back and forth motion to pull the pins from the sockets.  This will do both...

As promised, here's some pics of the UE custom cables. http://www.head-fi.org/gallery/album/view/id/688869

Thanks for the update, they certainly look well made.  Do they have any memory wire or tubing for the section that goes over and around the ear? It looks like they dont.

Quote: If you are looking at the custom IEM cables, then they will both "work".  One has plugs with a sheath(prevents the wires from going in all the way) and the others have the plug wires exposed.  I personally got the ones before sept. with the wires exposed. These cables will fit, but...

Quote: Poor seal/fit will kill bass, so make sure they are fitting right.

Quote: Good to hear it helped someone else out.

I tried that before cutting them up and the tube inside has sharp edges and once reversed has zero protection from rubbing up against your ear canals.  

I got tired of dealing with the elongated comply tips(the section of foam that protrudes past the inner tube) constricting and muffling the sound of these headphones, but I didn't want to compromise on the comfort and seal they offer...so, I got brave and took some scissors to them.  I cut off...

I think they go for around $70-80 in Japan.  You can find them on ebay for around 114$ shipped.

awesome, I'll be looking forward to that.  Make sure to include some pictures 

Do you clean your complys?  I do the warm water+light rubbing, but is there a better method?

was wondering the same for the Triple.fi variant

Quote: This is right on the money, those beats headphones have the look people want and they sound good the the average person because they aren't used to listening to headphones that cost more than 30 bucks.

I'd be willing to bet that this is more common than you think but people don't think of trying different sizes in each ear

Which tips are you using currently?  I'm using comply, but I'm really curious about Sony Hybrids and Monster Gel tips.

Have you contacted audioengine about this?

Just got some M6's for running and I'm glad I listened to you guys, they are a great bargain.

I recently got a pair of m6's and for the price they are really hard to beat.  They are super comfortable and sound great considering how much you are paying.

Or craigslist, worth a try

I've been looking to get a longer cable and found these two as options around my budget. Plastic: 6' BJC Mitsubishi ESKA POF: 20$ shipped http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/digital-audio/   Glass: 6' Glass Cable (Unique Products): 26$ shipped...

While on this topic, what are good small subs for multimedia setups. I have a pair of A2's and want to buy a sub for under 150$ to go along with them. I was thinking of the Dayton ES8 Elite, esw-8(does it have rca line outs?), or something along those lines. Any suggestions? The sub will be...
