WOW! So I just experimented with the Complys again and...WOW! I was getting an amazing seal with the triple-flange with gobs of bass but almost no highs. Now, I've finally figured out how to get the Complys inserted properly (seems to take some experimentation) and I have just a tad less...

I've had the Westone 3 since fall and honestly, I'm not a huge headphone listener to begin with. I use them mainly during air travel and have used the large gray silicone sleeves as well as the triple-flange tips with the stalk trimmed down to the largest flange. I get a good seal with either...

Thanks everyone. Now to decide which cans are the best for movies! (maybe something like the HD650)

Is the headphone jack in my receiver is powerful enough to be considered an "amp"? I have a Marantz SR7002 receiver with a Dolby headphone jack. I may be moving from my house to an apartment later this year and want to get some good cans to use at home so that I can still enjoy movies at...

You need to buy both and compare them for yourself. Sell the ones you like least. There is no other way to know which ones will suit you better. I bought the UM3x first based on the number of people who switched from W3 to UM3x. After finding them very lackluster with the music I listen to, I...

Mine were just under $100 (for vinyl) including the impressions and tips from my local audiologist.

Agree with most of the posts above. UM3x = not involving for me whatsoever with rock/pop/electronica. I much prefer the Westone 3. Buy both and try them out. Sell the ones you like least here for a small loss. That's what I did. It really comes down to personal preference and differences in...

Quote: Originally Posted by Spyro Yea, I would agree. Pretty odd to read lately that; - UM3X are boring. I find them quite similar to SE530 (which are rarely ever referred to as boring) but with better detail. Sure UM#X is a more closed in feeling than SE530 but I find it very...

I purchased both the W3 & UM3x at the same time, figuring I'd sell whichever ones I liked least after auditioning them. So far, the W3 is definitely winning, but I'm reserving final judgment until I get my UM56 tips (should be a few more days). The W3 definitely gives me more of an...

My UM56 tips should be coming in later this week. I sure hope I don't have as many fit issues as you
