Les conclusions:
Value (9/10) – The ridiculous FAD FI-BA-SS notwithstanding, the UM Miracle sits atop the pricing hierarchy of this review and therefore can only be judged based on the performance increase it offers over <$500 earphones. The jump in sound quality from top universals and the entry-level 1964-T custom to the Miracle is significant, but so is the price gap. The fit and finish of the earphone certainly are as sublime as the price tag indicates and the overall usability is enviable. The performance is fantastic as well – the Miracle offers a different sort of sound compared to the 1964-T and stage-destined universals like the UM3X and SM3 but still surpasses them handily in technical ability. Its sound is not as forward and intimate as with most pro-oriented monitors and yet it easily avoids the left blob – right blob soundstage you get with so many headphones and IEMs. I’ve drawn comparisons to the presentation of the SM3 but the Miracle offers all of the advantages – coherent imaging and great on-center feel for maximum immersion – with none of the drawbacks of the over-enveloping SM3. The signature, too, is extremely pleasing, with surprisingly strong but very controlled bass, clean and detailed midrange, and strong, extended treble. One of the Miracle’s greatest strengths is its ability to remain crisp and retrieve all of the detail without appearing aggressive, even at minimal volume levels. Instead of turning the volume up to get the detail and texture out, the Miracle encourages you to lower the volume, offering up assurances that not a single nuance will be lost.
I have to insert one of my usual disclaimers here - the fact that the Miracle is the most proficient earphone I’ve heard is not necessarily an indication that more drivers mean better sound, nor does it mean that throwing more money at your portable audio rig will result in significant performance gains. The Miracle is simply one data point among dozens of available models and my experience with it should not be extrapolated to other high end customs. All I can say is that even after six solid months of owenership, having occasion to use the Miracle still puts a smile on my face and I plan to enjoy it for years to come – thanks, of course, to the Head-Fi community.
Pros: Excellent long-term comfort; high isolation; superb finish; fantastic overall sound quality
Cons: Correct insertion takes some getting used to; no portable carrying case included
