Finally, got what I wanted for a while now. Just pulled the trigger on the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art lens with a Nikon mount. This will be "upgrading" my existing Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Art lens which I'll sell to help fund this purchase. :D

Got these Eneloops from Costco today for $19.99. I've got about 60 AA's and 40 AAA's now. I don't use the included charger. I use a PowerEX C9000 instead. Probably the best charger made :)

Replaced a battery in a Fossil watch and had two links taken out of this new acquisition to fit my small wrist:

Also had to replace my UE 600's as the cable tore so I went with the UE 900s given the replaceable cable:

So far so good. They're very comfy (much like my previous pair) and came with a huge selection of rubber and foam tips, among other things. I don't know if IEM's need to burn in though...

Which Shure model? I looked into the SE425 last year before I settled on the UE 600. Those were awesome, but I used them constantly and the cable started giving out so one of the earbuds lost output.
As for the UE 900s, I found a 2014 produced version on Amazon (reviews suggest that earlier produced headphones had issues) for a mere $290 instead of the suggested $399. So far I'd absolutely recommend them.

The only problem is there is no mic. This will be my first pair of high end earbuds .. so I am trying to make the right choice. Does the UE 900 cord tangle free ?

Personally I like those the most in the limited edition red. Seeing as I've never owned anything by Shure I can't compare them to UE. As for the mic, I screen 100% of my calls so I wouldn't find that a problem :p although that likely isn't the same for you

The cord appears to be tangle free. I never really had a problem with my previous pair getting tangled but the cable on these does seem to be significantly improved. Nota bene it comes with a spare black cable that doesn't have mic controls, personally a huge selling point as the first thing to go on all my headphones is the cable...

Cheers

the red ones are nice but it seems like the cable looks thinner than the clear one ? Also my apple ones are always tangling .. it is so annoying at the gym .. the UEs look nice .. dunno what to try:(
