I was one of the rare few who managed to get a nice fit on UE’s classic and much loved TF10 IEM. I remember it was at the same time I acquired the Sennheiser IE8 and after a brief comparison of both the IE8 was shown the door and the TF10 (admittedly with Lune cable) stayed for much longer. There was something about the clarity and PrAT that more t...
Of course, the whole package is really a subtle homage to the TF10 and its fan base. Everything has that bluish tinge to it from the moment you open the box to the inside lining of the black pill-box type hard case and the standard blue cable. It does come with an optional black cable without any igadget mic and remote (that’s on the stock blue cab...
Both braided cables are detachable, suffer from zero memory retention, and are fairly well marked for left and right (color-coded). When connected they allow both ear units to swivel 360 degrees in either direction allowing a high degree of flexibility in getting the fit just right. The cables are designed as over the ear cables reducing microphoni...
Now comes the tricky part. The unit sent to me for review is the UE900 and those following forums and updates from UE will know that the UE900 is now the UE900s. There have been some reports on the regular UE900 that the cable connections are a bit iffy. Numerous customers have stated loss of sound in one or both units, some corrosion in the connec...
Bass
The UE900 packs 4 drivers in total, 2 of which are used as dual bass drivers. Using this setup the UE900 reproduces a much more mature and balanced presentation that packs plenty of punch, snap, and extension on the bass. Considering the rather excitable bass response of the TF10 UE knew they couldn’t sacrifice the PRaT and engaging response of the TF10 but then again simply couldn’t roll out the same old experience. In the case of the UE900 what I am hearing is a much better bass extension w...
Mids & Treble
UE also addressed the mid-range problems of the older TF10 somewhat with a more forward lower mid-range in the UE900 allowing vocals to become more intimate and detailed and more engaging as well as giving the overall tonality a more solid and weighted feel. However the further up the range we find UE nod increasingly to a more consumer flavor with a slightly laid, smoother almost tapered top end. There is reasonable articulation but is just not as forward as I would have liked overall especi...
Staging
The UE900 soundstage is above average for an in-ear outside of pricier 6-way and custom IEM’s with hybrid technology. I am used to expecting more intimate fast-paced detailed presentations with armature designs but the UE900 manages to convey an impressive sense of depth with the dual bass drivers and excellent extension without losing too much intimacy as a result. It is a fine balance between grandness and musicality and I think the UE900 manages to pull it off with a more forward, engaging...
Surprisingly, the UE900 was not as efficient to drive as I thought it would be and for most of my DAP matching. I found the volume had to go up about 1-2 notches higher than some of my other customs and IEM’s.
In a month or so that I have had the UE900 I am quite impressed with it, to be honest. I am not sure if it is the groundbreaking new IEM flagship that will steal the thunder totally from the TF10 and consume every hardcore TF10 in its path. However, they do have a very technically impressive, mature, and modern BA earphone that pairs very well inde...
