^  First off, I'm not a "dude", I'm a sparrow.

Secondly, if you lived in a so-called democracy—like the oh so glorious European Union—, you'd not encounter such issues.

PS But nice track, isn't it?

After many years of letting the UERM escape from my wallet, I feel that my upcoming over-the-hill birthday deserves it.

I could not gush enough about this IEM.  I've had mine for roughly a year, I think.. and there isn't a day that goes by now that I'm not impressed with it.  The coherence is terrific.  I love how wonderfully dynamic it can sound.. quite reminiscent of full sized cans, in this regard.. and the imaging is sublime.  The UERM's ability to scale is really surprising, too.

I purchased a JH13 FP a couple of months before the UERM.. both had served as my end-game IEMs.. but I decided to let the JH13 FP go out of curiosity for another custom I've ordered (CustomArt Harmony 8 Pro).. I love the JH13 FP, but the UERM simply got my 'ear time' and I found it's linearity to be even more addictive than the JH13's phenomenal strengths (imaging, bass extension, speed, etc).  For a phone to beat out the JH13 FP, let alone get me to sell it (at a decent loss), is about as high a praise as I can give.  Long live the UERM!

I heard it at the Chicago meet last weekend and ordered on the spot. Pirates' booty indeed!  :boom:

Now the waiting begins . . .

I predict the same may happen at the end of this month.

Just got mine in. I'm having an issue that maybe one of you more experienced owners can tell me if this is normal.

I typically listen to my music at low volume when I'm working so that it doesn't distract. I tend to move around a lot so things like cable microphonics, low level hiss, etc. are really annoying. When I have the UERM in my ears there is this ruffling sound. I've eliminated the possibility of cable microphonics by removing the cable all together. I've also noticed that the shell is quite a bit smaller than my SE5 CIEM, especially the canal portion. When I have my SE5 in my ears, there is no ruffling sound. It has been awhile since I have had any other CIEM other than my SE5. For all I know this may be a common characteristic of acrylic CIEMs and I just don't remember.

Do you think this is a fit issue?

Note: Seal doesn't break when I'm moving, nor does it when I talk, open my mouth wide, etc.

Resistance is futile.

I get a little bit of this with my UE18s (basically sound whenever something physically makes contact and rubs against the cable), but far, far less than other IEMs I've had.

I just noticed something odd last night when listening to my RMs (w/excellent, tight seal).  I scratched just to the right of my nose with my index finger and heard a ruffling (somewhat similar to cable noise) sound from my left ear.  I was surprised how that sound/vibration made it that far across-  and only to one side.  I don't think it wasn't bone conduction because it was a very light scratching motion.  Maybe it has something to do with that vibration traveling across the skin, certain muscles, or a combo of the two.

What is most interesting to me, is I have very little to no ruffling sound when I have my SE5 in. Granted they seal extremely tight and they are silicon. I get the sound in both ears and it can be when I'm walking, or just flailing my arms. Maybe I'm just spoiled now?
