I thinking of ordering the ULtimate Ears UE-5C for use with a Rio Karma, and am wondering if you guys that already own any of the Ultimate Ears IEM's have any input on the earpiece color, the cord color, or the cord length. I was initially thinking of white for the earpiece and cord, figuring it would be easier to clean, since it would show dirt more easily. But then I wondered if the white would get yellowish eventually and whether the black would look newer longer and would go better with my Karma, since it is basically black and grey. (Plus all white is the ipod look, right?
) In any event, I thought that those of you who have had these things for a while might be able to offer suggestions or input as to why you like the color you got, or why you wish you got a different color.
Also, any opinions as to cord color? Is there any benefit to the clear, or does it just make sense to match the color of the earpiece? As to cord length, they offer a 46" and a 64" cord? It would seem the 46" cord would be plenty long enough, since my Karma will generally be in my lap or attached to my belt. Any reason to order the 64" cord?
P.S. I am in So. Calif. in Orange County. Anybody have experience with an audiologist in Orange County for this purpose? I have an email from Mindy with some recommendations, but wondered if anybody on this forum had actual experience with of the audiologists in my area. Thanks for your help.
