The leveling up system is just confusing and downright bizarre in UA3. Ratchet straps and boy-scout knots helped out here. I might as well have just bought an aux cable. The plastic nuts used to tighten the cross bars never tighten. It is also impossible to style the hair, hair is going in every direction (I have totally straight hair). The mic is clean and clear, and while it wont compete with a studio mic, would be perfectly acceptable for a live stream, or at the least, not annoying your friends in chat. The shoe on the right is after a year of every other day use. No hotspots. Apple earpods are the only ones that fit well on my ears and dont fall. so it seems like im not the only one.
