My UE-5c's broke almost two years ago, and instead of getting them fixed, I threw them in a drawer and used my old e4c's. I finally got around to fixing them, and they came back from UE today.    I just plugged them into my iPod Classic, and wow...what have I been missing? I always thought...

  I sent my UE-5c’s in for repair, and since I haven’t read anything about peoples experiences with UE Custom warranty (only their consumer line), I thought I’d share my experiences.   I bought my UE-5c’s around this time four years ago (or has it been five?!). About a year back, the left...

I've had my UE-5c's for about three years now, and recently I made a post about a crack developing in the right monitor. Today, to my dismay, I noticed a HOLE in the bottom of the IEM. I don't have a camera with me, but if you're looking at where the cable conncets, and look to the right, there...

Hey guys, I used to be much more active in the earphone/headphone world, and about five years ago I got my first IEM (e2c), and worked my way up until about three years ago I grabbed the HD-595, along with the Ultimate Ears UE-5c custom IEM. I quickly returned the HD-595 (didn't like them...

So I've been toying with the idea of getting a set of cans to compliment my custom UE-5c's, which I'm currently using unamped. It's been about a year of considering cans, so I finally whipped out the credit card and ordered a pair of HD595's and the Total Bithead last night. Should be getting it...

I currently own the UE-5c's, and they are sheer bliss when listening to, but I do seem some places where they can improve, mainly in the highs, and the soundstage feels a little weak to me. I'm currently using them unamped from my iBook and my iPod, which I realize isn't the best source, but...

Maybe I'm a little spoiled with my UE-5c's, but I left them in school over the weekend so I'm using my e2c's that I had lying around right now, and this is an ear massacre. It's tinny, undetailed, completely lacking a soundstage, and has no highs or lows whatsoever. I miss my 5c's .

I'm thinking of grabbing some HD650's, but this noise leakage problem worries me. I am often annoyed when I can hear other people's music when I am around, and if it's that bad, I'll just stick with my IEM's. I realize that cans are really for at-home use, but even at home, I don't like...

I've currently got Ultimate Ears UE-5c IEM's, and I'm very happy with them. I'm using them unamped from an iPod Mini, and while the quality isn't completely perfect, it is hard for me to find many complaints with it. However, in typical Head-Fi style, I'm looking for an upgrade. My iPod Mini has...

Hey guys, I am currently the VERY happy owner of the UE 5c custom IEMs, but I'm getting a bit of a upgrade itch, and am looking for a set of full-size headphones for home use, but I'd still like to be portable as well. I am thinking I'd like closed cans, because leakage is a concern, and I...

I've currently got UE-5c's running unamped from my iPod Mini (I know, I know; I'm getting a Tomahawk soon), but I'm looking for a little bit of a less-portable, higher quality setup for the house consisting of headphones an amp opposed to earphpones. What should I expect to differ in sound...

Good lord. I left my UE-5c's in my locker at school today, so I'm about to fall asleep with my e2c's that I haven't used in at least a year, and good god, now I remember why I went with customs after my e2c's, and then 5 Pros. These things hurt to put in, and they just aren't comfortable in the...

Anyone have any idea as to how well the UE-5c's would hold up while running? I plan on getting into running a few miles a day, and I'd love to use them while I run, but if it can cause damage... Anyone have any idea? I'd appreciate it! Oh, and while I'm at it, my UE-5c cable, after just 4...

Now that I've had the UE-5c's for a few months, I think it's safe to say that I'm ready to post my impressions on them, so here goes. I'll try to make this to the point and not too long, as I don't have the patience nor the technical knowledge to write too much . About Me: I've ONLY listened...

Hey everyone, I just got my new UE-5c's, and while they sound GREAT, it almost hurts to wear them, as they're pretty tight. I called UE, and they said that it takes getting used to, but these things really cause irritation after time. I've heard that you can't even feel them in your ears, but...

Kind of a strange question, but heres my thinking: I'll be getting my UE-5c's this Friday, and I'm wondering if, over time, as earwax accumulates, will the earphones stop fitting, requiring me to visit a doctor and get them cleaned? Or even the other way around...if I clean my ears and...

Could someone please point me to a website explaining, or explain yourself, what exactly are lows, mids, and highs? I appreciate good audio, and can clearly tell the difference in audio quality in various earphones, but I don't quite know what the definition of mids, lows, and highs are, even...

They told me 10-12 days for my UE-5c's. Does it usually take less then this, or is it pretty accurate? I hate waiting!

I'm getting my 5c's in the next coming weeks, and I'd like to get an amp thats not too expensive (around $200-$300) for home use. I def. won't be using this for portable use. Any suggestions? Eek, I didn't realize there was an Amp forum here! I'm sorry guys, mod, please delete.

I'm making the hour-long trip to NYC in order to get someone that UE spefically reccommended. I had an appt. with a guy that was local, that I got from the UE website, but when I called him, he had no idea what UE was, or what he was doing. I didn't want to risk a fitting problem on my 5c's ,so...

Hey guys, I'm 16, and have been saving up for a pair of the Ultimate Ears UE-5c custom-fit headphones for the past few months, and now that I'm almost at my goal, I'm afraid that my ear canals are not finished growing, thus will render my earphones non-functional. I'm 5'6", about as tall...
