    UE700s + sweat = trouble

    Quote: Had a wax issue :)  A while back I got one of those ear-cleaning tools, I now get most of the wax out before it builds up to crazy levels.  When I first got the UE700s, I was using them as my IEMs for running, and was constantly pushing them into my ear as they slipped out because of...

    UE700s + sweat = trouble

    Quote: Also, in one of my previous cases, they actually advocated "cleaning out" the IEM with a needle... so I could always argue I was trying to follow their past advice.  (That was a case where the filter got pushed too far in.)

    UE700s + sweat = trouble

    Quote: I'm going to try calling them again tomorrow, hopefully I have better luck with the CSR.  I'm going to stress the fact that this is my third replacement of the UE700s in a year and a half (my old SuperFi 3s lasted a good 4 years or so before a cable socket gave out).  One 700...

    UE700s + sweat = trouble

    Before trying to wash at them, I poked at the filters with a pin -- one got pushed down a bit, I can't quite tell what I did to the other one, but it affected the sound.  It's still not right -- one side is actually distorted a bit -- but it sounds closer to "normal".  Seems like the filters may...

    UE700s + sweat = trouble

    I've owned UE700s for about a year and a half.  Back in June, Logitech replaced my original pair, because I lost all audio in one ear (may have been a cable problem).  Now I'm faced with another warranty replacement.  I last used them on a run a week or two ago, and they were getting sweaty &...

    Replacing UE SuperFi 3 Studios: UE SF5 or UE700?

    Quote: They arrived this this morning... I plugged them in to my computer at work for an initial listen, not that that was worth much.  I plugged them into my iPod tonight, and they do sound a little brighter than the SF3s.  I used them for my run on the treadmill, and it was very nice not...

    Replacing UE SuperFi 3 Studios: UE SF5 or UE700?

    Quote: I wound up ordering the UE700s on Sunday... they're due to arrive today (Wednesday).  I'll give them a try, and if they don't live up to expectations, I may jump on the Amazon deal on the Meelecs.  Logitech has a 30-day money back guarantee... so I have that to fall back on...

    Replacing UE SuperFi 3 Studios: UE SF5 or UE700?

    Quote: thank you for your advice, it's made my decision more complicated :)  In the $75 range, I'm taking a close look at the Brainwavz M2 & the Meelec A151.  I don't know if I can afford to go up to the $150 range right now.  Putting it this way, am I wrong going with the UE700 for $75...

    Replacing UE SuperFi 3 Studios: UE SF5 or UE700?

    Quote:   The only "seller" of the SF5Pro I see is a third-party seller on Amazon, offering it for $200.   Why do you say you wouldn't pay $75 for the SF5?   Quote: No.  They already gave me the coupon code, it's good for 30 days.

    Replacing UE SuperFi 3 Studios: UE SF5 or UE700?

    Thanks... I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the 700s.  From what I can tell, these SuperFi 5s definitely are NOT the Pros... they're the "new" SuperFi 5.  There may be some better IEMs out there in the $150 range, but at half-off, I think it would be hard for me to beat this deal...

    Replacing UE SuperFi 3 Studios: UE SF5 or UE700?

    I bought a set of UE SuperFi Studio 3s about 4 years ago.  I've been very happy with them, but over the last 6 months, the cable connection for the left earphone has become very loose.  I tried the right cable in the left earphone, and it's still loose... so it's not a cable problem, it's an...
