    Sorry I can't shift through 100 odd pages... I'm heading to Tokyo this weekend and I will be picking this puppy up.   Just wondering if anyone recommends a store to buy this from?

    How do you achieve IEM comfortableness?

    I've used many IEMs.   I can wear all of them for many hours, but in the end of the day they will feel sore one way or another. Some feel better, other feel worse.   3 years ago, I picked up a custom. I've worn by earphones for 2 days straight (transfer flight, sleeping, then more...

    Getting "called-out" for not wearing the Beats

    When someone asks me why I don't wear Beats, I tell them I find them to be too expensive. It's implied that I find them overpriced, but 100% of the time people assume I mean I can't afford them, which I guess works out to the same result. Anyways half of my friends don't give a crap and use...

    Thunderpants (T50RP mod) Group Buy

    I was just in the market for a pair of circumaural headphones, so these look to be a good buy.   Err… it would appear I missed the group buy? If not, I'm in for a pair; don't really care about the wood choice if it saves me money.

    IEMs reshelled into Custom Molds $80 in the USA (TripleFi 10, SE530, etc.) from FISHER HEARING

    I read through all the pages… (yeah, I was bored) and I think I want to get my TF10s reshelled since this would make one heck of a custom it would seem.   Is the pricing and everything still the same? Quote: If they used the foam like silicon, you can play around with it and it...

    UE Custom Owners Report In!

    I have a pair of UE-18s. These are my first customs and I have been using them daily for the past 6 months from commuting to jogging to reading. I love listening to music and these have replaced the universals I used to use. I had a set of Shure E500/SE530 IEs I used for a long time. When I...

    How do you carry around expensive IEMs with you?

    I normally either are wearing them all day or if I'm not they are strung behind my neck.   Quote: You can get them for something like $20 plus shipping from UE

    Nice first impressions. It's not something I could have written because I suck at it, but it sounds about right. Quote: Originally Posted by peter0316 How much money in HK? About 10,500 HKD

    The UE18 Pro: Ultimate Ears Announces Their New Flagship Custom IEM

    Nice titanium plate… I wanted a carbon fiber like that titanium at first, but I wanted the feel rather than the look and they said they wouldn't do it because they needed to have it under the surface.

    Unboxing Ultimate Ears UE18 Pro

    Nice you got the red ones. I opted for the clear because I wanted them to be as inconspicuous as possible.

    how the hail do you wear these things?

    I used to wear them… it got annoying after a while because they would turn disgusting looking and feel abrasive, so now I use the foam. Works great, but I might have to try triple-flangs with the deep penetration method.

    Where Do i get Flac Files?

    I basically buy music off iTunes, then delete the files and download a lossless version elsewhere. I know that's not exactly legal, but at least I'm still paying for music and I have the receipts to prove it. For other music, I will buy CDs to rip.

    When will UE18 Pro ship?

    I was called last week after I complained that they didn't update me on my order and have been promised a phone call tomorrow (well today for those on the east coast like me); have been told that I will get a definite ship date.

    When will UE18 Pro ship?

    I am a bit frustrated with them as well; I knew I heard them tell me they would start building last Tuesday and then now it's tomorrow that they will start. I'm also considering canceling my order since one of the main reasons I went for the UE 18 Pro earphones were that they were going to ship...

    Do you or Can you live with IEMs exclusively?

    I can find that my full cans are more comfortable to wear for a long, but I also feel I must turn up the volume higher to hear details; for the sake of protecting my hearing, I have considered using IEMs exclusively. Unfortunately, my IEMs are a bit broken at the moment.
