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...- alphaod

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...- alphaod

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.- alphaod

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...- alphaod

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...- alphaod

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- alphaod

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.- alphaod

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.- alphaod

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.- alphaod

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.

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.- alphaod
