Loz. Would love to, but too far to drive. Enjoy!

Lolz check that @Hanzo - I would love to join in but live in Chicago. Might have meant someone else? H.

Let vengeance be yours!  And +1 on documenting it for us all.  Might need to do that myself one day (so far so good, touch wood).

Likely you will want a very small tip do deal with those very small drivers.  You could likely "get away" with almost any one with changeable tips, but better ones are, well, better... Subscribed and waiting with eager anticipation and an eventual desire to reshell/fix my old UM2s.   Luck to you!

+1 Nicely explained.  I love learning stuff from this forum thanks to well worded, thoughtful explanations.   Thanks!

Just got mine - too soon for impressions, but I can add one silly little point.  When eating with these on, big bites break the seal on the cups (bass dropouts) while my jaw flexes.  Super temporary, and nothing like the annoyance of potato chips with IEMs, but just an observation.   OK, back...

Well, at least they're committed!

Quick question to TBE folk - is the TB sig engraved or just painted on?  Like the detachable cable but also like the understated 100 look (and the 200 is more expensive than both).

Hey all, I have Shure 840s and enjoy them, but lately I have been needing to listen to them for work for hours at a time. My primary issue with them is (well, weight of course, and) that my ears get so very hot wearing them. So the question: will the KossDJxxx be any better? I also have to...

Depending on what they are made of, simple hot glue will seal them but (if you don't fill the hole with it) should come off.  Use low temp stuff, as it sticks less well.  You could also look into the equivalent of Instamorph, or even Sugru, though the latter two may be more difficult to remove...

Bump - I have been reading luke warm reviews of the other phones as DAPs, but still have not found anyone who has tried amping a blackberry or other sucky source.   Nobody tried?

Hi all,   So I have the Curve above, a beloved pair of UM2s, and a now broken iPod Touch.  The Curve, well, sucks SQ wise.  It pops, has a very high noise floor, and sounds generally yukky and compressed. Highs are harsh, lows are somewhere I have not yet found, etc, etc. It is, however...

Thanks for the giveaway!  I have never heard of these things, and am now off to your site, in need of a PMP of some sort.   Happy Holidays!

Stubled on this and know it is way dead, but in the event that you don't have a good solution, you could use AirFoil.  It (please pardon the non-tech) inserts itself between your chosen application and the soundcard (USB DACs included) allowing you to affect eq, balance (an issue for me with...

Cheater,   Questions!   So your mod thread never shows the completed mod - will you finish the how-to?   You talked about it being fine with just the pleather wrap on the metal, so what is the padding shown on this tread?  The VE foam you talked about? You mention a senn 580 headband -...

I find my 840s are hot - as in my ears feel like they will burst in to flame after 1/2 hour or so.  With the increased room inside and the layer of sock between your head and the pleather, does this help with heat?   Also, the cardstock ring is folded over to double thick and jammed in the...

So months later (been a bit busy) I have found this review - THANKS!! Super impressive work. I completely appreciate comparisons to other audio equipment (both cans and speaker sets). And I guess I need some livewires (I was kinda sad as there is no way for me to replace my UM2s that I love but...

What matters to me, of course, evolves, as does my vocabulary for describing what is important to me (thanks mostly to HeadFi). I am a bit of a bass head, but can not stand for overdone, flabby bass as seems to be more and more prominent nowadays. The best bass I have heard was my wife's stock...

Regarding the UM1/2, I can not lay on my side with mine as my ear canals seem to be kinda crooked. As such the pod with the actual armatures in them is at a bit of an angle. Thus my lust for customs. Just keep it in mind, as not everyone's ears will allow it. (tho I may be a freak, ears...

Thanks for the reply!

Crap. Every review of these pushes me closer to an order. This was the best written review of these I have come across yet. Excellent pix as well. Thanks for spending the time, and curse you for feeding my upgrade-itus. Did I infer from my reading that smiling results in your losing the seal...
