Just got these too, and I love them. I actually sold my Westone 4R for these, and so far I'm actually liking the UE sound more than the Westone. Not to mention these look a lot nicer than the Westones.
Ah, the Westone's were the other set I was considering, heard they were a bit muddy at times so I decided to go with the UE900's, your comparison just shut up the voice in my head saying "Would the Westone's have been better?" Aahah. ;)
I have to ask though, are you having any microphonic issues with the UEs? At times the left earbud cuts out in both pairs I've had, seems a little weird. :rolleyes:

Yeah I have a small comparison post on the "Last Purchase" thread if you haven't seen it.

As for microphonic issues, I haven't had any like the one you mention, although I seem to have to talk a lot louder for the mic to pick up my voice. It could be because I'm not used to talking with IEMs with Comply tips in my ears, but the feeling in my throat felt like I was speaking louder.

Why have you had two pairs? Was it because of the mic issue? Or was it something else?

It was the issue I explained with the malfunctioning left earbud, similar with both sets. A Logitech rep said this is common and is a microphonics issue.

Looking at that desktop table, I think we might have the same desk, lol. Or at least the same table top on the desk. Still a nice shot, regardless if the headphones are good or not, I like the shot itself.

Thanks. I think just about everyone in the tech community owns an Ikea Galant :) Just got a new color a few days ago too.

TMRaven, been meaning to ask; where did you get your desk, or at least what desk is it?

It's an old Herman Miller office desk. I'm not even sure they can be gotten anymore, unless you're lucky and loot an old office building or find one at a garage sale.

How do you like your Magni?

It's done a fine job so far! It's done what I've asked it to do: replace my objective combo and look way better to boot.

Very cool! Nice setup my friend :)

It's a very nice desk.

Btw, how is this new Schiit compare to the old Little Dot you owned?

I liked the Objective combo a bit better than my HRT Music Streamer II+ Little Dot MKII. The Objective combo just wasn't as sloppy and had better instrument separation when things harmonized in songs. I feel the Schiit stack is rather equal to the objective combo and looks better.

Any Sennheiser Momentum owners here? Impressions?

I've just been given a bunch of gift vouchers for Christmas and I'm tempted to go for a pair.

As much as I like my new Klipsch Image Ones, my ears feel sore after extended usage. Thinking over/around ears are the way to go.
