Couldn't tell you unfortunately  I run everything out of my iPod Touch 5G (straight ).  

 
 
[size=10pt]Fair enough, I found my old iPod Classic 80GB essentially unlistenable straight up with the 900 because of the combo’s severe emphasis on bass, even using the ‘Bass reducer’ EQ the whole sonic picture is still muddy and unenjoyable, to me that is.[/size]

I just got the UE 900, can anyone give me a picture of this sound bore?

There are two bores in the nozzle. One little tiny pinhole-sized one and a large normal-sized one. I'm mobile, so no pics

That tiny hole doesn't seem to go through to the drivers though, I just put a very fine wire gently down there and it's only around 4mm deep before there is resistance.

It effects the sound drastically though...  Regardless of how deep it is.  There can also be a filter in there as well  We don't know  To ensure though, this is the nozzle we're talking about right?  The little pin-hole sized bored on the top of the earbud on the left (I don't think there is any other pinhole bore )

Yeah that's the hole I'm looking at, it seems like more of a recess than a bore, it's pretty strange why it would change the sound if no sound is actually coming through it, except as you say the resistance I felt is some forms of filter?

LOL, that would be too funny! I also thought about sticking something through. I couldn't find anything small enough, though.
However, the dual bores are explicitly mentioned in their advertisement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfshrJMoG_g
 
This is my thousandth post - and I've been holding it back for a while - I decided to dedicate it to the UE 900. Appreciation! That's all.

The sound of my 900 changed again. I decided to give them another wk or 2 before returning them but the other day the mids became more forward and everything just sounded cleaner I was also Abel to return the volume to my normal listing levels. I Guss one bore was filling up faster then the other and now both of them are completely fill. The change kinda reminds of when we go threw puberty and have to go threw an ugly phase before appearing more mature

That's good to hear  And yes, it is unfortunate that it is possible for them to "break in" at different rates as your right ear isn't as clean as your left; and by chance, it's unlikely they'll both fill at the same time  Do remember to keep the large bore clean.  It'll hinder the highs if you don't  I wish UE included a cleaning tool with these.

They do change in a good way over time, enjoying them more everyday, just hope to get better seal.

Can't help you with the better seal  Comply tips tend to help this, but can also have effects of their own.  I'm still using stock UE XS tips  As for the "break in", it depends on what you say is good.  The main cause here would be the pinhole bore getting filled.  They change over time; the cost is bass presence.  Tradeoff is for better midrange and high end perception.

Has anyone changed the stock cable to a better one? I'm thinking of replacing my stock cable as the memory wire is really annoying me. Doesn't sit well behind my ear at all. Saw some cables with copper/silver/gold. Is it advisable to change it?

I'm in the same shoes, the memory wires are not that 'memorable'. YMMV.

I think Null Audio has a custom cable for the ue900s.

Edit: yes they do, coming soon.

Are the 900 connectors the same as those on the Shures?
