I have read that the cable is uncomfortable. I have an old one from the 215s, which I love - are they compatible or is there an audio quality loss?

It's a litle thicker the the 500 series but I didn't find it uncomfortable at all especially if you get a cable clip thaqt allows you to clip the cable to your tank top or T shirt. I don't think the 215s cable would be compadiable with the 500 and above series ear buds.

They are compatible and I don't think there's an issue at all , the se 846 are really in a league of its own

Not quite sure what you mean by uncomfortable. Cable is a bit stiffer than other cables, but I believe this added strength increases the rigidity. I have worn the cables behind my back as well as in front. I didn't have any issues in either case. Not having any experience with the 215's, I am unable to comment on the comparison. All I know is the SE846 earphones are the best I've ever had.

Can't say if there is any loss but the unit ships with two sets of cables the long ones which I switched out for the shorter ones. I really did not have a problem with the cables but the earbuds to some time to get use too because they are sort of heavy. After a while they become a little uncomfortable. I never really keep them in that long though. I hope this helps you out

Sound channels are wrong? Is it because you are unable to match up the proper channels to those on the card? I ran into this issue for a bit but eventually found the right channels. Part of the issue is that I don't think the coloring is universal and 2 of the channels required using conversion cables. Otherwise I have 7.1 playing pretty well through these headphones.

I like these headphones too and I haven't experienced any noticeable cable tangling. In contrast, my other most-used headphones are Shure SE535-V but what I don't like about them is exactly what you said about the Sony!

I don't see why it would be a problem, unless you're very particular about the preciseness of your sound. I have an old pair of 5.2's paired with this center channel. Mine sounds great. As long as the receiver has a port for it you should be fine.

I didn't find any issues with the cable. It has good flexibility and the XLR plugs seem fine for the money.

no this is not a known problem. However the wires after around 2 years do fail forcing you to buy better higher quality cables. Return them back or just buy new cables. I would be more pissed at Sennheiser about the wires but the cans just sound sooooOOOoo good that I could care less and ponied up the cash for some good wires.

Thanks Justin, I appreciate the feedback.Do you know if the cables are proprietary, meaning that you cannot use a longer cable?

For one thing, the connection to the headset is a detachable/replaceable mini-XLR. I bought some K701s to find that they were hard-wired, and I had to send them back because a short occurred in that spot, mainly because the way it was crammed in the box smushed the wire right on the spot where it met the headphones. Also, the default connector on the hard-wired cable on the regular 701s is a quarter inch, so you must use a loose fitting quarter-to-eighth adapter (I know it's not an eighth), but on the Qs, it's a threaded eighth, so you can screw on an adapter.

Mine is sitting in the junk room. Most of the time the audio came through just fine for me. My issues was that sometimes the audio was so far out of sync it wasn't even watchable. It's a great concept, but a total POS in reality. Like Clayton said, try updating the drivers and see if that helps. I gave up on mine though. A 15' HDMI cable is cheaper and way more reliable.

Just got the 215 @ Costco for $149.99. Doing firmware update via wifi now. Still haven't played anything with it... just passing in info on the price. The HDMI cable it comes with is fine for those of use who know how to separate our power cables from our video/audio cables. If you mix them, you may want something with a heavier insulation on it. I need Lasik anyway, like I'd notice the difference between a free HDMI cable and a $90 Monster brand cable.

I have had no issue with the connection, so as far as a fix I am not to sure. but from experience with other headphones and earbuds, if you are having an issue it's normally a frayed wire, I would suggest switching the earphones to the other wire that came with your ue 900's and see if that works, if not I would contact logitech and get them fixed if they are still under warranty

Thank you for your response. I was unaware of what a Y cable is until now. I ended up buying a receiver and speakers. Its good information to know though.

I'm using the Audio Technica AT3482P in my Technics SL.Q300 turntable and it is working OK. Good Luck.

Mine actually went away with time. You can try detaching the cable and wiping down the gold connector with a cloth to get rid of any dust that might be trapped there. Search the UE900 appreciation thread on head-fi.org for other suggestions. If they don't work, send it back to the seller if within the return period, or back to logitech if out of return period.

I had the M50s for about two years, loved them dearly, unfortunately the plug got yanked and I had to replace them. I'm currently returning my 2nd pair of M50x, the first had a high pitch sound than could barely be heard but have extreme headaches and the ones I'm returning now sometimes have static regardless of what device or cable I use; hopefully the third will be the charm since I'm spoiled with the detachable cables now.

You probably have to use the other end of the cable. Don't know why they did it but that's what I found. Works fine that way. The headphones are great.

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.
