Wow, thank you for the that band, bought 3 CDs just now.

Thumping bass, no. Something must be wrong. The bass guitar is there but rather light weight with no sub bass at all very different from my Focals.

You have convinced me that I should send them back for a check up, thanks.

Will keep you updated but expect that it will take a while.

Make sure you are using the right setup as well. Out of my phone, there's no bass. Out of the GO 450 > Leckerton, it's there.

I got mine in January or so, following that $700 massdrop deal. I really wasn't going to spend more than about $500 on earphones, but with such a discount I figured it would be worth the extra bit considering UE is pretty close to me and they can take the molds.

Been loving them. Wouldn't have thought I would enjoy them as much, but they're super comfortable, putting them in is a breeze and they sound really good. I probably wouldn't buy a second pair of earphones. I find the SQ of earphones to be pretty far behind the SQ of headphones in a similar bracket. I'm not floored by any earphone like I am high end headphones (K10 included).

One surprising thing I've enjoyed about these is their incredible tone. The balance makes listening to acoustic instruments and vocals really unlike most other headphones/earphones.

Just realized I forgot to follow up on my problems. About a month ago I finally got the UERMs back in like-new condition with a new cable (something I requested to begin with) and an extra cable with iOS controls (useless to me, unless it works on Android..). They sound just as good as ever and look the same as well. Not happy that it took so long to resolve the issue, but all is well now and I only ever had to pay for the initial shipping to UE and the initial service fee.

Wow, fantastic news, and thank you for sharing your experience. Hiccups aside, looks like this company is for reals to building a strong and long term relationships with its clients. I am sending my impression for my first pair of customs for UERM; looking forward to hearing it.

That has not been my experience, but I hope yours is better because it sounds great.

Hello all,

I got my in the mail yesterday - got some questions regarding seal and fit, and thought you can help me with my issue (Or deem it to be OCD)

The seal between the plastic and my ear breaks when I make a smile face or yawn.  Is that within tolerance and common among Pyrates, or should I proceed with support? Do you really "push" the faceplate of UERM against your ears to make it fit when wearing it? how do you maintain the seal, and does your seal break when wearing it / using it?

Thanks all!

Seal is supposed to break when you make a smile or yawn. You shouldn't really have to push it in once you've twisted it to lock into place though. Maybe a little bit sometimes at first but it should remain in place afterwards.

My seal breaks when I open my mouth vertically, do you experience similar issues between your refits? I noticed you wrote you need to go back a few times.



It is the seal breaking when I move my mouth

If you have to keep pushing the IEMs back in, the fit is off. If UE didn't do the molds or digital scan, I'd say your audiologist likely messed up.

I actually had Westone oversize my molds with a little extra pressure for my ES5s. I can wear those while eating or laughing without breaking a seal. Wore them 8-10 hours straight a few times. You do feel a slight bit more pressure on initial insertion but your ear acclimates quickly if the molds are done right.
