Moderator note: This thread can also be found in our Featured Full Review forum: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f13/co...xs-etc-399799/ Well today I went to B&H photo video and purchased the Sennheiser IE8. I must say my immediate reaction is that I'm very pleased with them. I would like...

Hello,   I'm currently in the market for some new IEM's because my Westone UM2s cable broke just recently and now I'm looking for some recommendations   What I prefer:   - very good isolation - good fit, I liked the UM2 a lot, I've just the super.fi 5 pro as reference and those were...

Hi!   Nice forum, this is my first post here. Anyways, I've used Westone UM2 for several years, and finally decided to get some better IEMs. I bought Westone 4R, which was a good improvement in sound quality. However, I have a big problem with 4R. The earpieces (not the cable) seem to be...

Hi, there! I'm a new poster who would like to replace his Westone UM2 with a new earphones. The reason behind the change is not because I'm not satisfied with the UM2, they simply are dying in my hands after many years of honest service. I got to the VSonic GR07 after having read a lot of...

So I recently bought Westone UM2's, and now I'm looking for a good portable amp for it.   My price range is under $300    Possibilities:   Leckerton Audio UHA-6S MKII  Leckerton Audio UHA-4 Tralucent T1 ALO National RSA Tomahawk   Please feel free to add anymore :D

When I use my Westone um2 with the iPhone I sometime want to use the iPhone mic to hear the surrounding without to remove the earphone. Do you know an app that open up the iPhone mic? (I know I can dial out or record, I'm looking for a way to only open the iPhone mic without another action)

I have spent countless hours reading threads on here and looking up reviews on several sets of IEMs. I had a pair of UE super.fi 5 pros. They were stolen and I'm trying to find another pair of IEMs. I bought the UEs on Ebay 2 yrs ago new for a steal and now they aren't making them anymore...

I liked my AD700's but lacked a little bass, but loved the clarity.  The lack of bass was easily overlooked for me.  Now im needing to replace them because I cant repair them after a dog bit the cord and am wondering what would be the better choice between these 2 headphones.   Use: They...

Am looking at the following head phines: Sennheiser ie8 Shure 425 Tdk b200 westone true fit 2 westone ue 2   how do they stack up and what experience have people had??

I know that gaming audio is basically a joke, for good reason, but as a long-time lurker (5+ years at this point) and a big-time gamer, it's been killing me that there really aren't any great audio products available for gamers. Seems like a case of "you get what you ask for"--the gaming market...

Hey guys, after doing a bit of research, I've decided to invest my hard earned cash on a Westone UM2 from Amazon. I confess I'm a total newbie to the whole audiophile scene ( laught if u must but my idea of a good headphone is like a klipsch). So while I await (rather impatiently) for my new...

hi guys,    My dog just killed my UM2 recently and I'm looking for a new pair of IEM, I saw the MD Trumpet by Monster online and they look amazing, anybody has experience with UM3/UM2 and MD Trumpet can share your experience? I'm a musician and I use my IEM for casual listening as well as...

I can't post an item in the "for sale" section.  I guess I don't have enough posts yet.   I have a 2 week old pair of westone UM2s for sale.  All accessories and box included.  Like new.  Been used maybe 10  times.  Mint. $175.  I have feedback on ebay under "wtbs" and audiogon under...

Had to get my hands on the UM2 and now that I have that and the Westone 2 I compared them. Intro: I must say the UM2 sounds better than the UM3x which I sold shortly after few months. In short; it sounds more articulate,airy and more expansive. The UM3x sounded too bloated,closed in and...

I'm new to the world of customized audio equipment (and Head-Fi, for that matter), so apologies in advance if these are obvious questions.   I was planning to get a pair of Westone UM2s and outfit them with a pair of customized UM56 tips. Then, I read about the AC2s, which - as far as I can...

I have a budget around $200-$250 .. Will use smartphone as my source..usually listen to trance , progressive , rock..  Any input will be greately appreciated. I have never owned any earphones costs more than $40.. Looking for something with detailed sound and with great bass..  Over the ear...

Hi, I recently got a pair of UM2 and love them. so far I have only been using them through my iPhone 4 and MacBook Pro without any amp nor DAC. They are definitely a step-up from the Q-Jays, or at least they seem to sound better. I haven't been able to compare them because I lost my Q-Jays...

Hello! I tried searching but couldn't find what I was looking for. My Westone UM2 wires are wearing out right where the wire "ends" and the hard, plastic ear-bud starts. There's a little slice in the wire and sometimes that particular ear-piece won't work unless I giggle the wire around...

Hello I am trying to choose IEMs as a present for a person has who never owned high-quality headphones.   The main requisites are:   1) Immediately noticeable SQ improvement over stock Apple stuff (this one is easy). 2) Very comfortable for small ears, easy to wear for long periods of time...

Hello all,   I recently bought a pair of custom earmolds from Earsonics for my Westone UM2. Only problem is that the volume on both my phone (HTC HD2) and portable player (Cowon J3) is too high, even at minimum. I like to listen to music at work or in my bed at night but even in a plane I...

I did a little DIY mod to the connector on my UM2 so that it would fit in my iPhone case - however, it was a very rough mod, and I'm thinking about replacing the connector with a completely new one. I contacted Weston, and they can do it for me, but it'd end up costing about £60-70 once I've...

What the hell is the difference? Im thinking about buying one of these used and I dont see what seperates them, obviously if the sound is the same on all of them then I'll go with the um2 rc but if the sound is difference I'll rethink my choice.

Hi everyone...   since about 1,5 years or so now i'm using my Cheap Brainwavz M2's the Laid back Highs make them quiet enjoyable, However, i allways felt like their Bass is just a SLIGHT bit too boomy, anyways, about 2 weeks ago, i bought a pair of Sony XBA1's and... WOW i was kinda amazed...

As it seems the plug in my UM2's has suffered enough to not work properly any more. So choices are to either send them back to Westone to be fixed, or then go and replace the plug with a new one. Sending them over seas back to the U.S. here from Finland is one thing, but another is not...
