    I was wondering how bad the rolloff was on the UM1's and how I could cure it with my X5. Also, are there any other tips to fix this? Be it amps, Attenuators etc.

    Are my UM1's going to break?

    Recently I've noticed that the clear plastic has turned to white. Which looks dangerously like it's being bent and on the edge of cracking. I'm not able to get a good picture of it, but I'm very worried that it might crack. Or is this normal for a UM1?

    IEM Newbie: My UM1 Adventure

    Well I got these monday. Doing some heavy listening today. Popped in Pink Floyd's The Wall. I'm on Nobody Home and I'm hearing stuff I never knew was there.

    I've been using KSC75's with this for a while now, and well, I don't like using open headphones in ... well the open. Now my question to you folks, which IEM goes well with the X5? I listen to hip-hop, rap, jazz from Coltrane to Sinatra style and Krall. And rock. I'm looking for something...

    eCost.com

    They have a horrible trail of negative feedback on resellerratings... I figure that it's mostly because people complain and let others know more than positive service... I was wondering about any recent dealings with ecost from fellow head-fiers. I'm thinking of buying the 30 GB X5 from...

    Westone Dealers in Vancouver

    So I've finally found an IEM i'm interested in, I've sampled Grado's and found no substantial difference in my KSC75 and IMO its not worth the big jump since it is not 3 times better in SQ. So for IEM purposes I'm headed into the Westone direction and looking at the UM1's. Sadly I haven't...

    What to do? Recable or warranty.

    Recently my Koss KSC75's right ear went silent, the left one still works. All I know is that before slight snags on the cable would make the right ear piece go silent, then when I put them on again at the end of the day they went silent for good. Now should I attempt to recable these or...
