For the price they offer great clarity, but I cannot reccomend these to people who mainly listen to bass heavy music. I still use my UM Pro10's regularly (I also have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-IM02 which have a lot more bass) and they IMO they are fine for EDM and pop although it sounds slightly flat and not very vibrant because of the lack of punchy bass. The bass is not in anyway muddy or dirty, it just lacks that resonating punch you experience in IEMs with dynamic driers The highs get slightly sharp if you raise the volume too high and EQ will help mitigate this if you like your music real loud (above 75% on the Xperia Z3 compact without amp). This is usually uncessary though since the noise isolation is decent with foam tips.
The Pro10's design is fairly simple and very lightweight. So far after 16 months of continious usage they have yet to fail me although there is quite a lot of wear on the stock removable cables near the connectors and I will be looking for replacements soon as part of the rubber coating near the connectors (no memory wire here) is peeling off. The stock cables are good quality although they tangle easily. Be aware that there is no memory wire, but the cables are very soft and rest very comfortably over the ear and don't fall off. Combined with it's light weight these are amazingly light and comfortable. The stock carrying case is also very sturdy and well made. It's basically a orange waterproof vault and will float if they somehow end up in the water. The casing is really thick and solid, and with the foam padding inside I'm willing to bet your earphoones will survive a trip over the Niagra falls as long as it doesn't suffer a 50 meter drop on the rocks.
These are still my go to earphones/earbuds/IEMs for daily use due to their comfort and weight. The bass is dissapointingly flat but the overall quality and calrity across it's soundstage makes it great for everyday listening on the go while i'm commuting. It is also my longest surving portable audio device
(I loose a lot of earphones)
Purchased for 1200 HKD/155 USD new in Hong Kong.
