Thank you for the heads up. I've spent more than $100 before on headphones, but not for iems. I should also note that besides quality of sound, they need to be comfortable .. able to stay in for a jog.Zimmer wrote:
Don't buy them. Not worth the price. Cable is poor, sound quality isn't the best you can get for that price and the seal can be a bit iffy at times.Kmar wrote:
Has anyone had any experience with Ultimate Ears?

I'm considering the 700's. I would like some feedback if possible.
They're nice, but too many little flaws with them.
I have Westone 2s and they're fabulous. I've also got Fischer Audio DBA-02s (probably the most sought after IEMs right now, they are constantly out of stock due to mass buys the moment they're back in stock - I know, I maintain the site of one of the main distributors). If you can get your hands on the DBA-02s somehow, I seriously recommend them. I've yet to hear a sweeter IEM when it comes to highs and a good overall balance. The bass isn't the strongest, but not what I look for in an IEM.
Winston has linked to a vital thread that you should really sift through. If you're considering spending any sort of money on an IEM, then you need to take your time over your decision. I would tell you right now to go for the W2s or W3s (if you can afford them) but take a look at that thread. If you really wanna go awesome then try getting the Earsonic SM3s, as they are universally considered the best universal IEMs (without going into custom) and they're a fair price for the quality they offer.
@ Bevo - You're not getting the right seal then, because my W2s hit some very sweet lows and do it with tremendous snappiness. I modified the triple flanged eartips - Changed them to bi-flange and cut off some of the stem... and they give the best seal I've ever had. It's not even an effort putting them in, they feel fantastic and I can't hear anything outside. Try that, the default W2 tips aren't the best - although they work incredibly well with the DBA-02s.
Ultimate Ears does good stuff when you hit Custom level (if you're willing to drop $700 on a pair of IEMs) but their normal IEMs are average, if not under par in comparison with other brands (Fischer Audio, Westone, Audio Technika, Jays, Monster, Sunrise, Head Direct).
If you're willing to spend a bit more than $150, then seriously consider the Westones. I haven't listened to the W1s, but they're meant to be a steal for $139 as well.
The Sunrise SW-Xcape are meant to be incredible for $80. http://www.bugdenaudio.com/store/Sunris … Xcape.html
Take a look around. Once you're willing to spend more than $100 on a pair of earphones you want to be sure you make the right choice.
The 700s are nowhere near the quality of the ones I listed above.
Ok, so that pretty much completely killed the idea ..lol.Bevo wrote:

It's tiny, you strap it to the back of your MP3 player and put it in your pocket. Not that big a hassle and improves quality significantly.Lucien wrote:

As long as they don't fall out an inordinate amount of time then I don't think they'll be a problem.Zimmer wrote:
@ Kmar - you might want to look at over the ear IEMs, as they are generally a lot easier to put in and rarely fall out. My Westone 2s have never broken their seal, and I do running and the sort with them in.
I've been looking at this monitor myself for use as a vertically pivoted secondary, but I'm not entirely sure about how well a 24 inch TN panel would do in that sort of configuration.Computer_Guy wrote:

What do you guys think of that monitor? Good buy or look for something else?
Really wish XFX were the same. You so much as look at it in a funny way and the warranty is voided.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

Consumers victory, although performance and noise wise the launch was a bit disappointing. 480, 570 and HD 6970 trade blows in performance so expect a little price battle.Little BaBy JESUS wrote:
well HD69xx cards are out.
Personally, if the HD6970 price comes in line with the GTX570 (here in Aus its currently $80-$100 more expensive) then I would get it. At the moment though, I just can't justify the extra $100 for almost no performance gain over the GTX570. Its a shame, because I do like the better range of connections offered by the HD6970..
