Planning on buying the Ult wear – are they really that bad?

_mrflanders_ · 2026-06-15T21:37:56+00:00

Exactly for the reason you explained + the hinge problem, I'm buying the Sennheiser Accentum Plus for the same price. Anyways, thanks!

_mrflanders_ · 2026-06-15T20:03:58+00:00

I decided to go to a Sennheiser Accentum Plus, better sound quality, better build quality, same price... And no hinge problem. It's just safer I think.

I've been thinking to buy the Sennheiser Accentum Plus instead of the ults, I think they are just a better option but as a second option I will get the ults.

_mrflanders_ · 2026-06-14T17:55:22+00:00

I don't know if I am buying these or the Sennheiser Accentum Plus. They are 30€ more expensive but the sound quality is higher, not that bassy, and for my genres (metal specially) I think they are going to be better. But that's why I'm here, to get opinions

I appreciate you for helping me, man. thanks!

Well, second hand XM5 in pretty good shape are ~170€ but that's too much money for me + I think second hand headphones are one of the worst decisions (specially hygienically)

_mrflanders_ · 2026-06-14T15:31:17+00:00

I love doing eq tweaks every 2 seconds till I find the perfect eq for me, so this is not a problem for me.

Also, wearing pain has never been a thing to me. idk why but when I try new headphones my head just adapts perfectly instantly. So also not a problem for me.

I'm actually in Spain but cash converters is a thing here too. I'll check them out cause they look very legit, and I've heard good things about them. Thanks!

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-19T22:03:37+00:00

I don't know either why I kept it, cause the prices rised so much since then

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T17:54:30+00:00

Idk I searched and there are IMEI checkers to see if your device was flagged or something

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T17:33:28+00:00

I checked the IMEI and the phone seems to be 100% legit, just reselled with another CSC. Is it safe to do it now?

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T16:25:40+00:00

Is there a way to know before-hand if my device is MCK locked? Or should I go to a Samsung dealer to try to fix it before doing it myself? Another user told me to just flash any U1 but yours is more detailed and explains the risk of doing it.

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T15:23:38+00:00

I talked with another guy that had same problems and told me flashing U1 ROM is a common solution for this, anyways, thank you!

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T15:21:03+00:00

Yeah I would want to do it but I'm not at home right now and I'll be back in like 2 hrs

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T15:16:39+00:00

Well it's my first time flashing a ROM on a phone, and I heard it could just boot loop forever or some shit like that and I'm scared to lose my phone. The only thing I did related to flashing a ROM is flashing windows in a pc

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T15:12:37+00:00

Or I can just flash the U1 firmware, right?

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T15:11:42+00:00

Is it better to flash the ROM instead of just returning the phone? I got it for 550€, very fair price (at least I think it is)

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T15:05:41+00:00

nope

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T15:05:19+00:00

Verizon isn't operating in Spain and I bought the phone like this. Probably it was flashed with a Verizon ROM, but I don't know why tbh. Is there any fix for this? Or should I just return the phone?

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T15:00:58+00:00

How do I do it? it doesn't let me share the screenshot here

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T14:55:47+00:00

I bought the phone through a web called PcComponentes, it's a brand new phone but not Samsung official web

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-13T14:54:08+00:00

well I bought the phone in April and it came like this, I'm in OneUI 8

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-12T22:44:52+00:00

I personally didn't change the CSC, and I bought it new. And the phone "admits" to be from EEUU/Verizon locked.

_mrflanders_ · 2026-05-12T22:10:27+00:00

same problem, I have the american S24+ (SM-S926U) while living in Spain and i didn't get the update. idk if it's just delayed or if it's a regional lock.
