Is anyone able to point me to how to use Deoxit on the connectors, in case I need to?

A long time back some head-fiers were talking about cleaning off factory residue and stuff, so I'm wondering if there's a proper way to do this, for example:
1) Use toothbrush on connectors
2) Use q-tips to dab deoxit
3) Wipe excess deoxit off with new q-tip?

Thanks.

I have not had to use Deoxit on mine, but have on other equipment in the past. Personally, I would stick with the Q-tip on/off method as I have never run across so much buildup as to require a toothbrush (though I imagine it would be possible).

Hey all

I have a UE900 that is playing lower on one side. The sound is still clear, but way lower then the other piece.
We have clearned the tip
changed cable
Made sure the MMCX connection is tight enough.

It was used a month ago and all was fine then. We put it in the box and now this.

What can it be?

I know it sounds obvious, but did you trouble shoot all of the connections? Like switching MMCX connectors from left to right to make sure it was not the cable? Also, did you try them on a different source?

 

[raptor18]

Yes we did. I switch left and right and tried the other cable. We tried many different sources.
Sound is still clear but noticeably lower on the left one.

Hello
Which tips do you suggest in order to put the midrange backward a bit ?

Hello guys,

I just got the old UE900, not the 2014 UE900s.

Is there any sound quality difference between the two?

 

[tuyentien88]

Is UE900s a big step up from the UE900? I like the ex1000 sound signature, maybe a bit more bass. I will use it with the ibasso DX90.

The only difference between the two are the build with the UE900s not being as crappy. If you are looking for a ex1000 I don't think the UE900 is where you want to look. Maybe an RHA IEM would suit you better.

What is the opinion on a new pair of UE900 for $75? Worth a shot at that price given the issues with build quality?

 

[mixpro]

I would say definitely. I haven't had any build quality problems. My pair (900s) cost considerably more than $75. They sound great.

My UE900s has been going strong for a few years, the black color from the metal plate on the part pointing out has chipped a bit but its all good.

I just ordered a BT-LC2 to use with them, see how that goes.

Yeah, for the $75 I would say yes.
I had two pairs of the original UE900 and not the S model. I babied them but they developed the same issue with the connectors eventually.

This is what I am worried about. If they go out on me in a few months of use then i will be very upset

based on my experience it’s not about if they go out on you but when.
Now they 900s might be better but the 900 won’t last. I used mine for less than a year, always was gentle with them and always stored them in the hard case and they still failed.
