Hi everyone. I am a proud owner of the UE6000 since 3 days ago, a headphone that has impressed me in many ways. It can be summarized saying that when I put it on, it drives me to listen to the music, music doesn't become a background sound, the resolution, punchy sound, soundstage and spatial resolving power of instruments drives me to listen to the music and appreciate even when I am trying to do other things. This is what a headphone has to do to become remarkable, and at this price point of $200 I think is perhaps the best value in the market today.
The Noise Cancelation feature is not really Noise Cancelation in my book, as it doesn't really compare with other NC cans in its ability to reduce external sounds, albeit passive noise cancelation is quite good. I see the NC switch most as a way to have two different sound signatures in the headphone that I can select as needed by the music, very cool indeed.
The only problem i found is that the headphone cable doesn't fit very well into the hole of the earcup. When I push it in, it doesn't click, it doesn't feel secure, so that every now and then it will become loose and either the sound will change or it will come out entirely. I tried to use other spare cables I have from V-Moda, but they have a similar problem.
On the other end of the cable, when I try to plug it into my 3.5mm (Mini) to 6.3mm (1/4") Headphone Adapter it fits so tight that it I have to push hard to get it in and it is hard to take it out, something that never happened to me with any other cable.
It this a design defect on the UE6000 of the cable or just my unit may be defective? Do you guys have the same problem?
Do you have any advise for a replacement cable of good quality but not overpriced (e.g. <$25) that may fit better into the UE6000?
Thanks indeed to everyone.
