Westone UM3X Appreciation Thread - Page 264

Westone IEMs are all ive ever owned. Ive had earbuds but IEMs are much better.....each model has impressed me and i only have the UM3x because my Westone 2s seem to have quality issues, ive gone through two pairs and the sound just stops working which i suspect is part of the build quality being lesser then the UM series. My UM1s have outlasted the 2's by far. UM3X has quite a bit of bass, great mids, highs seemed a bit recessed while the mids were pretty forward , I cant wait to try out all the tips with them. Only had them about an hour, heh. Im also extremely happy with the holiday deal i got on them.

The Westones universals are good solid ITE monitors, however the leakage because it is not a custom fit tends to be problematic with many of my patients in the situations in whoch they use them. i like the AC series, which is a custom fit and allows for a more robust low frequency sound. Let me know if you have any questions, I have been working with musician's products for ten years and I have been a working musician and performer since I am 15 :-)

Comply Tips have taken care of leakage problems.  UM56 custom tips also a good option for $130

One thing I hate is how the westone price has shot up in the uk buy at least £30 odd :(

There's an appreciation thread for these?  

 

Well I really like mine.  Best universals I've had so far.  They don't have the awkward fit of the SM3, and the sound is satisfying and smooth and even in FR, decently detailed.

 

I really like them off my new DAC, they went up another level.  

 

My one vice is probably using them for long drives.  They're so comfy and they keep my awake on the highways @ night.  Not that I'm an interstate truck driver...but I've had 2 long-weekend drives in the past few months and they've probably kept me alive.

 

Thanks UM3X, I appreciate you keeping me alive.

 

earphone solutions had a site wide 30% off, currently its 20% site wide

If its a musician monitor,  and am only an audiophile using it with an iPod, is this iem will give me for my money, or it will be better for me to go for the Westone 4r (using it with my um56)?

it really depends what you want out of it. the UM3X definitely has a strong bass presence (not boomy bass but impactful) and a very intimate mid good for vocals. the W4R is the better all rounder with wider soundstage

Ok then! If you be one day using JH13 or ES5, (these iems have these rc cables, no?) You think they will have the same issues like the um3xc rc do? or maybe you can accomodate more easy with them?

Have another question here: Some of you, will know wich of those iems have the more Bass presence. Um3 or Um3x... or W4 (:By order of importance:) Am not realy a basehead  listener! Am not a Musician either, only an Audiophile!

Do I realy need these um3 series, or beter go with w4?!   Have sold recently my lovely SE535v to embark for a new adventure in the Westone world! I will like to choose wisely.

thx :)

Hi gangs!  Have no propblemo with my UM56 mold ever! Have using these with my se535v for about 2 years now! Just contact Rachelle at Westone cs for price$ info!  But.......... next time then..... :)

Yep, agreed!   It's called: UM56  [earcanalcustommold) :) Enjoy! Call for $$$.$$

 The UM3x have a more elongated nozzle size than the other lineup westone iem? I think longer than the w4  If it longer, are you sure the need to use large, longer tips? Go 4 UM56 then!!

Thx!  And what about listen male vocals, jazzy music, Morcheeba, Diana Krall, Électronica, New age, Alternative, Soft Rock musics???? again stay with the um3x or w4??  using with my UM56 mold!

UM3 are they more bassy, warmer than the x version? What the X mean?? Do I realy a need for "Instrument séparation"(find in the UM3x)  if am not do stage, musician?  Am audiophile only! Need something similar to my lovely SE535v!

 

thx :)
