How are these unamped? I already have a pair of headphones for home (he-400) and i'm getting another $400, so how are they? Are they same sound signature wise as well?

Saying goodbye to my favorite universal so far.
I used to be a huge balanced dynamic fan with a strong appreciation for design but the W4 steered me toward neutral balanced armatures and the UE900 really convinced me of a superior audio reproduction (musical sound without drifting towards clinical).
While the market is offering great new alternatives (SM64, FA-3E /XB), I have found the next step with the StageDiver 3 as an universal, or might even jump directly to CIEM territory with Stage 3 or UERM.
Have fun guys, see you around!
They are easily driven if that's what you're asking. If you want something that sounds like the HE-400, you'll want to cover up the pinhole bore on the UE 900 (if you go that route ).
I lost my Phonak PFE 111's, and auditioned the UE900 today. Really liked the sound, but the price is steep and when I came back to read this thread it seems there are build issues as well?
It's a pity the local store here does not carry the Phonak 111/112 anymore and Phonak does not ship internationally, as I love them- not that expensive, sounds great, and an utter comfort to wear. The UE900 do sound better and fuller, but not $250 better. On the other hand I absolutely love the look of the UE900 and its colour scheme. But the build issues worry me.
Are there any alternatives to the UE900 at around the same price point or lower? Something with a similar sound signature- fairly balanced with adequate but not overwhelming bass and sparkly yet not fatiguing highs.
