Would anyone be able to quickly compare these to Westone UM1's? I'm having a hard time choosing between a second hand X5 or a new Westone UM1 which work out to be able the same price.
The one thing that's stopping me from getting a UM1 is that people say that it can be a little light on bass. I listen to Rock, Gothic Rock, some Metal, Drum 'n' Bass and some others. Which would be the best for these types of music?
Also, the little things stopping from getting the X5 are the cable tangling and microphonics, and I wasn't sure if it would be good for sports, (because of the cable and the design (would they come out easier because they are not over the ear?)).
