The UM1s are only marginally better when it comes to noise attenuation. Sound quality wise the RE2s are a bit better.
The UM1s are the most comfortable in-ears on the market, whereas the RE2s are pretty average when it comes to fit and comfort. The noise attenuation difference is too little to be noticed most of the time.
