Westone UM1 vs. Shure se215?? - Page 2

I've never really had any confort problems with IEMs and between the shures and westones, it's just going good to great. For now, I'm pretty much decided on the 215s as I keep encountering everybody commenting on how great the sound is and on its oustanding value.

Both are good. It all depends on what you listen to and what you are looking for in sound signature.

I'm going to try to buy the Shures locally today, and if I can't I'll probably just order a pair on Amazon. From what I've been reading the sound  signature seems too good for its price.

 

The thread below definitely pointed me in the right direction.

for the comfort usage, i would say really depend on ear canal size, however SE215 has slight bigger size compare with UM1

Yeah, whichever you choose, the grass isn't greener on the other side, just enjoy it.

Both great entry level IEMs (Yes I know there are Mee M6 and other very affordable IEMs)! Can't go wrong with either ones, unless you have a very specific criteria. I remember my first UM1s a looonnng time ago and heck, I still have the SE215s! The bass is really enjoyable on the SE215s btw!

Vocal&Newage&Folk: UM1

Pop&Rock&Electronic Guitar: SE215 (the electronic guitar sounds really good after run-in)

but if you don't mind "s" sounds, GR06 is better than UM1 (based on vocals music)

sorry for my poor English...
