The description really looks like the good old TF-10! Do you find them comfortable? I was planning to get one of these new universals, but when I was clicking around I found that I could actually order universal versions of the custom models. I had always wanted to get a pair of UERM/UERR...

Ah somehow I missed that it is a dynamic driver. The sonic description of UE 150 stands out to me, as does its faceplate. Less is more.

UE SuperFi 5 Pro was one of my first higher end earphones, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that Ultimate Ears will be launching a new universal line with three models: UE150 (MRSP $199), UE250 (MSRP $299) and UE350 (MSRP $399). According to the website, these will be available in late...

Just want to tag along. Moved over to Pittsburgh a couple of weeks ago, and I'd be very interested in a meet

Thanks! It is really quite small, but glad to know there is a way.

I own MACH 10, and have recently bought a pair of MACH 60. I realized that while the left piece indicates the model, the right one doesn't. Is there a way to tell them apart? Edit: Is there a way to tell them apart visually

This is a rather subjective hobby after all! I think this basically means that I should really, really demo before I go ahead. Let me see if I can find a show room next time I visit Japan!

Thanks for the reply and the rec! My go-to headphone has been HD600, and unfortunately I never managed to find a sweet spot with respect to volume when paired with my HDA-5520. I am actually (pleasantly) surprised that you are pairing the HDA-5520MKII with IEMs. Do you adjust the volume of...

This is very helpful, thank you! My DACs had a maximum of 2.0 VRMS, but I lowered the DAC volume quite substantially when I used my HDA-5520. This came with the (possibly psychological) cost of getting less meat/body at a similar volume ...

Thanks for the series of impressions and info, very helpful. It's a bummer to know that your unit had to be sent back (but I am very glad that it has been repaired). Was it a QC issue? It is probably a long shot since there isn't a large Bakoon community here, but are you aware of other users...

This sounds very cool. I will be relocating to Pittsburgh later this year, hopefully there will be another meet!

Thanks for the impressions. What is your source gear? I have been pairing my MACH 10 with a Chinese player (Quloos QA361), which I enjoy a lot. However, I have recently bought a Sony ZX707, and the pairing gives me this "anemic and lifeless" impression.

I haven't really been following head-fi for some time, but then saw the MACH series at a show and was very excited. The entire series was available there, but I just picked a few to try. To me, an 8-model series is simply too much to handle. For the models that I have tried, most are competent...

Alright, found some deals on MACH 60 (~25% off) and MACH 70 (~30% off) at Sweetwater. Very tempting...

Sounds reasonable and fun! (Un/)fortunately my DAPs do not really have proper EQs, otherwise I'd give the MACH 80 a serious thought!
