Same problem with the new cables, it doesn't seem they addressed this problem at all. My current pair of failed cables are the new ones. It's good to hear I'm not the only one. -bt

I've had UE10pros for over 2 years now. I've been through about a dozen cables in that time, no joke. Happens like clockwork, after about 3 months one of the monitors start cutting out until it stops working completely. My hypothesis is that the wire that bends around the ear is somehow...

This has been a fun thread to read, I love all the UE10 comparison threads- tons of drama, useful info, bogus info, more drama, etc... I tried so hard to enjoy the universal IEM's I've owned, but I ultimately ended up despising them all. Comfort and fit is soooooo underrated. Every universal...

Only software I know of is notmad explorer from redchair software. It's not free, but very cheap and works very well.

I went to a David Lee Roth concert in the late 80's just before he got sued for playing too loud. It was way too loud. He's toned it down considerably over the years. I bring my UE10pros without the wire to shows now. They aren't like earplugs that muffle all of the high end. Basically makes...

See, this is the thing about headfi and audio equipment in general. You use crappy gear your whole life then discover this place, make a modest investment in some headphones and it's complete ecstasy. Problem is you develop a dependency on your new gear, but also begin to crave something...

The ipod has some HUGE short comings (poor codec support, not ums, no line-in recording, drm laden, poor sound quality) but... The guys at rockbox are porting over their firmware so vitually all of those short comings will be addressed. It'll be a while, but it's coming so there is some...

Since I got my UE10pros I've noticed significantly more bass than I'm used to. I don't listen to them loud, but the bass does vibrate my ear canal quite a bit. I have severe tinnitus from when I was very young so I always have ringing. It's difficult to tell if listening to music contributes...

The treo 650 paired with PTunes is as good an mp3 player as you'll get. Plus you also get streaming audio and video capabilities. Without a doubt the best media phone. I guess some of the ppc phones may also be good, but they have much worse battery life. The 650 has amazing battery life.

I think you should be looking at the e4c, not e3c. e3c is a class lower than these other phones your considering.

Why even ask if it could be fragmentation at this point? Just defrag it and you'll know. Easiest way would be to hook it up in windows and defrag it through explorer. I don't think there's a defrag utility in the firmware, but I could be wrong.

For some people it can be a very painful experience. Unfortunately I'm one of those people. When the audiologist put the foam in my ear it felt like he was driving a nail through my ear drum- and he was being extremely careful. Even when he injected the silicone I felt a sharp pain, but it went...

Super Fi

I listened to them at Target today. I was suprised how good they sounded. Considering how much bashing bose gets here I was expecting something horrid. They weren't bad, but I wouldn't pay more that $75 if I really wanted them for some reason.

I had such a difficult time deciding between the UE10pro's and Sensa's. Even though they have very different sound signatures, my choice ultimately came down to durability. I expect to use these for many years (hopefully my ears don't change too much) so the thought of them dying after a year...
