Kinda stupid question maybe, but is the cable of the UM2 replacable like on UE SF ?

Unless I find some tip that works wonders on them, I will probably put the UM2's up for sale. They are comfy and the shortness after the Y is just the right length for me. I don't even have to use the cord draw. I think that both my last two earphones, the SE420 and SF 5 are better sounding phones to my ears. Not night and day but I find the 5's crisper and a bit more lively and fun. A bit bigger and more headphone-like presentation. I also agree with earphone solutions(not sure if it was Flavio himself) that said the SE420 is a more refined UM2. |

How would you compare the um2 to the um1? Similar sound signature but more clarity and soundstage?....worth the extra 200 bucks? thanks! |
