Hopefully someone else with a better ear will get them soon and add their input..
So far I am happy with my purchase.
Do you think there is a $230 difference in sound quality between the TF10s and UE900?
What are you talking about? 230 dollar difference? The TF10s didn't MSRP at 170... You can't compare a "street" price to an MSRP price. It's like the person who said the Amperiors weren't worth the price tag because the HD25 IIs were 150 dollars cheaper and therefore had a better bang for the price. He should have compared the MSRPs. I know for a fact that UE didn't release the TF10 at 170.
See this is a nice way to think about things in terms of the company's ingenuousness in pricing, which in this case plays to UEs favor as they are selling their new top model for the same price that the old top model was when it was released.
However to people actually doing research with the intent to buy one or the other, what matters is how much they can actually purchase the phones for, and whether that price difference is justafiable.

Quote:Was curious and tried to check out at the Apple Store. It says delivery by Sept 4-5 with Next day shipping.
I called Apple and they said it'll be available in Apple Stores in Sept. 10. But online it might take 1-2 weeks for stocks to arrive.
I got confused by all that. I definitely think it'll ship out and come either on the 4th or 5th.
If I wasn't getting the upcoming "Rumored" iPhone, then I might consider this...
iPhone is not rumored... Speculation on it is... A new iPhone is basically guaranteed every year with some sort of upgrade (physical) annually.
Wait a few years and the 900s will drop in price to. When it does, we'll be comparing 10-20 dollars... All the reviews that stated it was overpriced because it was MSRP will become invalidated? I think not.
You compare its MSRP with others MSRP (even if it's the same company). Like saying the TF10 is a much better value at 170 over the AtomicFloyd Superdarts because the AFS costs 300 is a major flawed statement. The Atomic Floyd may eventually drop in price like the TF10 did. Please note IDK if the TF10 does sound better than the SuperDarts, it's just an example.
This looks really interesting -- and a good fight against the Heir 4.Ai. Too bad the Heir looks a lot better (it's the wood...)
Ok maybe true but some people are actually trying to buy headphonesand not just speculate about their hypothetical value at some unknown point in the near distant future...
Hmm, I haven't decided which one looks better... And for me, the determining factor will be sound signature... I'll see what reviewers on here say about how they stack up against eachother.
Heir 4.ai vs UE 900's -- should be a pretty interesting comparison
So far we know both IEM's do:
1x high
1x mid
2x low
And of course, having read the Heir 4.ai reviews, they seem to have a very balanced/neutral sound signature that's right between warm and analytical.
I wonder how the UE 900's will perform.
