Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

So I decided to play around with the 900S tips. Tried a smaller size soft rubber tip - and wow night and day difference! I kept going larger trying to get better isolation/seal the it struck me to go smaller.

I immediately felt the telltale "vacuum" for better word. I have been disappointed in bass. They are still not bass head OEM's but boy what wonderfully detailed and extended bass!!!

What do you mean by this? Using smaller tips for a deeper fit?

  i dont know if i should buy the ue900s on amazon. I want something silky smooth mids and i heard they send out ue900 instead of the ue900s
 
I hate dull boring sound on my re 400 and i heard these and the re 400 sounds kinda the same

I had both. UE900 is a bit more emotional, but still more suited to analytical listening. The UE900s are too expensive for what they offer, though. 200-250 bucks would be a great price.

Deeper and better seal. I had been trying to force larger size in thinking it wold be better. I still get better isolation with Shure but I realize it was counterintuitive going larger tip for better fit with UE's. I can feel the vacuum/seal now when I insert them. And the softer rubber seems to do the trick - I'm not using the foam tips.

I think it's possible to simply glue it back together as long as the small cable hasn't been damaged.
My used UE900 look like they were fixed this way before i bought them. Sound is great so i don't care.

Do you guys recommend these? I mainly listen to top hits and I also like some bass. I have used the se215s and they were good but I just wabt to try something new and have an upgrade. Something priced simular to the ue900 would be ideal. Less would be nice
