Does anyone know why my right earpiece drains battery quicker than the left piece? I've turned off assistant mode...

Ah thanks! Couldn't find it when I tired searching there.

Does anyone know where I can get the UE900 silicon eartips? I lost one of it and the other sizes dont fit. 

The mod is explained in the quote. I'm quite skeptical that it was an intended design. If so why wouldn't they just cover the bore themselves? Or just remove the bore?   Quote:

It's hard to find Etymotics here in Malaysia. But that Philips Fidelio S2 looks interesting. Not sure if they are sold anywhere here though, I'll have a look around. I don't need good isolation because I use IEMs mostly during work. Can't have too much isolation or I won't hear incoming phones...

I lost my Phonak PFE 111's, and auditioned the UE900 today. Really liked the sound, but the price is steep and when I came back to read this thread it seems there are build issues as well?   It's a pity the local store here does not carry the Phonak 111/112 anymore and Phonak does not ship...

Quote:   Hah here's the thing. My original DBA-02 (pre MKII) also went dead because of the cables, and they were no longer manufactured so the seller provided me a brand new pair of MKII free of charge, with the warranty extended to 3 more months. So yeah, both versions of the DBA-02...

So I've been using the DBA-02 previously which eventually broke down because the cable gave way. I then replaced it with the MKII and despite the much stronger-looking build, it failed me after half a year. I really don't know if it's just bad luck or I'm just bad at these things. I treat them...

Hey shigzeo, do you find that the DBA-02 MKII paired with the ZO2 produces a significant amount of hiss? I'm using it headphone-out, and the hiss is pretty apparent, especially when playing soft music. Rather annoying, actually. Changing to to low gain mode doesn't really reduce the hiss either.

OK I got my ZO2 in the mail today. Sooner than I expected!   Paired it with my DBA-02 MKII. ****load of bass.   I do have a complaint though- there is a fair amount of hiss when I use it headphone-out. Any way of reducing this? I don't have a line-out dock, and I prefer not to use one.

So when is the next ZO coming out? Do I wait or just get the current one?

And to those who are skeptical of the cables, let me say that they pose no problems whatsoever to me. Their shape is an absolute non-issue, for me anyway. I did like the old black and white twirly cables, but they were far too fragile and prone to hardening. The new cable looks and feels sturdy...

I got my MKII last week. I used to have the original DBA-02 but the cable broke about 4 months ago and I had to wait for them to send the new MKII to me.   Maybe it's just a placebo effect, but it sounds to me that the bright highs have been tuned down a bit, notes seem a bit thicker, bass...

So you have never heard the first DBA-02?   Quote:  

Oh I hope the "DBA-02" on the side of the iem doesn't look that large or cheap! Any photos of the actual thing itself?   Quote:  

From what I hear the DBA-02 is out of stock and will be replaced with the revised version, which is coming in December or January I think.

Quote: Well I had the RE0s before I moved to the DBA-02 (identitcal to the B2), and the DBA-02's isolation is miles ahead of the RE0, even with the stock silicon tips (if you can get it to fit perfectly). With Comply foams, you pretty much exist in your own world.   In terms of the...

Quote:   Damn, early next year isn't early enough for me! Assuming it's out January it would still mean I will be without a DBA-02 for 2 or 3 months... and I have no other earphones to fall back on except my Apple earbuds.   Any hints as to how the sound has changed? And how is the...

Quote: The reason I'm asking is because my DBA-02's left sound just went dead on account of the cracked cable, and the distributor here says I can choose between getting a straight DBA-02 replacement or opt for the revision. The thing is, I don't know when the revision will be out and...

Hey guys I heard there is a new revision of the DBA-02 coming out soon? Any word on when it will hit, and how different the sound signature will be?

Damn, the hardened cables near the earpiece is beginning to crack. The sound is intact but I fear it won't be long before it just breaks apart. Does warranty cover crack cables?
