After much consideration (ok I lied, I just make up my mind in 2 sec  ), I decide to get a bundle package of both UM2 and Atrio M5 because I'll get a special discount over it. 
...on side note, I am pretty much emptied my 2008 budget on headphone so please don't expect any other IEM review from me

Sorry mate, since I already have the UM2, chances for me to get UM1 is very slim. You should read IEM that UM1 is commonly compared to in what I have reviewed (most ER6i and E3c) to get an idea of how well it compares.
On side note, UM2 review will be updated in a day or two. Cheer.

I'd like a review of an unheard IEM there was some buzz about the RP-HJE900 IEMS but i can't read Japanese very well. Although i am just about dead set on getting them anyway as i know there at least a big step up from the HJE300s that i have

I were interested in HJE900 as well when it was released, but never seen any store carries it (and importing is out of question on my part).

Hello Clieos, I still look at your multiple review with a lot of interest. Can I ask you to elaborate more on the SA6 sound? They seem just perfect from your description, where do they fall short compared to what you ranked higher?
Thanks.

To me, SA6 is on the warm side, but not dark. The mid has a full body that is especially good with vocal. The treble (T++ port) reaches quite far and gives enough detail to show some sparkle but not to a point of fatiguing. Bass (on B+ port, pin hole mod) is accurate and fast, though not the best or biggest impact I heard and lack a good resolution on depth, it seems to well suit the full mid. The soundstage is better than most but not the best I heard. All and all, SA6 present a very musical sound that can easily make most music more engaging. I'll say SA6's sound signature is a combination of all the nice characteristics I'll be looking for in a pair of IEM.
As of why it falls short of being the best is because, though SA6 is really good sounding, it can still be a bit congesting on busy passage. I think it is because SA6 still lacks the best resolution and the body of sound to be ranked as the best.

Thanks, this is a great description and it's very useful. You might want to update your first post review with these words that are much more complete.
