SchiitMyPantsI have not heard the UE900s, but I demoed the Primo 8 and didn't like it. It behaves almost like a stage monitor for vocals. Although Primo8 has a decently extended FR, the tuning makes vocals (not even mids in general, only vocals) sound 'in your head/face' while everything else in the mix is placed at your usual spatial locations e.g. guitars at the side, etc. That made it a bit disorientating to me as the sound was fine, but I was getting very confusing spatial cues with a singer inside my head and everything else spaced out normally. Sound wise though, very nice smooth sound and great mids. Because of the spatial cues I would think of them more as a vocal monitor then an daily carry.

SchiitMyPants@SchiitMyPants @samelight100 maybe @Millguy can help you out, if not search for his comparison further down, he found the UE900s not too bad after some initial adjustments.

samelight100Definitely this. Both have good bass (foam tips sure gives better bass on both) with UE900 perhaps going deeper but Primo8 bass being better defined, like the low notes actually sit somewhere in the stereo image and not just "bass fills you head". Not huge differences here.
But UE900 sure has that sparking treble I like. UE900 is also quite analytical: with them I keep on hearing new details on familiar records. I blind-compared mp3 and hi-res music files with both, and with UE900 it was quite easy to hear the lossy compression artifacts. So UE900 is perhaps more picky on the source, and Primo8 more forgiving.
