Here are my UE 11's. The artwork is the Radiohead hypnotizing bear icon.

Finally bought a pair recently thanks to this thread and love them. Can't believe how good cymbals sound on Dig For Fire, or Hey by the Pixies for example. Just amazing. Here they are: Picoodle / img Image

Hey guys, I decided to order a set of these thanks to the recommendations in this thread. I'm loving the sound on these for sure, it's fantastic. I'm just having a very small issue with the right ear piece. For some reason every minute or two the sound very faintly drifts to the left a...

I have a small problem with my E500's. One the right side a little below the driver there is a small opening on the cord revealing the wires inside. One the other side there is somthing similar right underneath the driver. Not sure how this happened as I just noticed it. Is there anything I can...

Woops, thanks . Hmm maybe it is a seal issue, I use the foamies but have yet to order replacements yet. I wash them but they are probably in need of replacing.

It seems the base has totally dropped off, not sure if there is a problem with the base driver on the phones or whats happening. Songs with alot of base like tracks from Thom Yorke's Eraser really seem to sound not good at all, the base sounds really hollow and high and I'm sure they never used...

Anyone?

Sorry for changing the subject a little but I've been debating on getting either the SR 71 or the Hornet to go with the E500's and possibly to toy around with occaisonally with a set of K701's. Any idea on which to go with?

What are the differences between these two amps? Also which one do you think might work better with a 5th gen ipod and either e500's or UE 10's?

I see, I'll try listening to well recorded lossless tracks tonight and see how this goes. So an upgrading to a SR 71 won't make much of a noticable difference then?

Well part of the reason I chose the Total Bithead was because of the DAC built in which replaces your sound card. I really have no idea what the sound card in the MacBook is like, I doubt it's great though. Yes I just ordered it so it is the 2006 edition. You're thinking I might need a...

I recently purchased a Bithead and when running it from my MacBook I'm having a hard time noticing a increase in sound quality through my HD 595's as opposed to running them straight out of the headphone jack. I also tried them through my head phone out on my ipod with the Ety's and again can't...

The Sound Of Music in Calgary has some high end headphones, they have Sennheisers for sure.

I would like to get a pair of custom IEM's within the next month or so but am unsure which to get? I've gone through the reviews and am reading very good things about both. Any idea what the Sensa's cost? Couldn't find the price on their website. I would be running them mostly through an...

That actually sounds like a good deal, at least I don't have to worry about big customs/duty fees then.

Well due to the overwhelming response here I'm going to try the Total Bithead to start with, thanks alot for the help. Now to find out if Headroom ships to Canada.

Is the 9" cable that connects it to the ipod good enough or does it need to be upgraded?

Does anyone have any info on the UE XXX's, like how they'll compare the the E500 or the UE 10's, are they custom or? I emailed them about it and they didn't respond. I really need to get a pair of IEM's here.

A question, would I be better off purchasing a Total Bithead unit if I was going to listen about 50% out of my MacBook and 50% Ipod, with those four sets of phones (Ety 4p, UE 10(soon), HD 595, Grado RS 1(soon) and possibly K701(eventually) or would I be better off connecting an SR 71 to my...
