What does everyone think about the J3 with um3x paired with the IBASSO T3.   Need a small and good little amp?   Any suggestions or experience with this setup        

I have owned JH5 for about 8 months and have used regularly.  I was fortunate to get a perfect fit first time and have gone on record saying I believe it is at least equal to all other triple driver universals (and W4) as a whole package with a very cohesive sound.  Pretty good representation of...

Hey,   I currently have a pair of Sennheiser IE8's and have never been very happy with them. I always feel disappointed when listening to them as I feel they lack clarity, especially compared to my full sized Denon AHD5000's.   I have narrowed down some replacements and based on what I...

I'm thinking about getting the UM3X, Is the removable cable version worth the extra $20? I would like your opinion :)

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...

Hello!    I am new on this forum and want some advice when it comes to which player to by. I want a good match to my Westone UM3X. Are there anyone with experience whith Westone UM3X and Hifiman players?        

So it wasn’t too long ago when I was happily trotting along with my scl5, until the wire showed signs of disconnection and the volume on one channel would fluctuate depending on how I held the wire. Since I did use the scl5 for about 3 years I thought it was a good time to move on and get a new...

hi, i'm new to this amp thing but i feel like i might be missing out without one as my friends with iBasso D4 and D10 said it made a world of differences for them. Im considering a D12 now but wondering if there are better options out there. I would like a portable-ish amp (i dont need something...

Hey peeps,   I'll just jump straight into it.   I was a owner of the W3s for a a while. After several product failures and return cycles, I have been offered the choice between receiving a replacement pair of W3s or a Pair of UM3Xs (no cost to me).   Let me explicitly mention that I...

Any differences between the um3x and re262? Describe the mids of both and which one is better and which one is more forward. Describe the clarity of both or lack of veil. Which one has the wider soundstage and by how much.

I just received my Um3x yesterday and the nozzle was all scratched up. Is this normal westone quality control?

I had my pair of UM3X's remolded my Fisher audio, but I did not order a stock cable because I had a TWAG IEM cable at the time. I decided the sound was pushed a little too far into the high-end for my taste so I sold the cable and my UM3X's have been sitting in a case since then. I am a...

Hi everyone,   Can you please recommend me the best cables for my UM3X RC or SM3 V2, that really make a difference on sound quality? I'm willing to invest on better cables. Do they really make a difference, for eg. like tips do? Which ones do you recommend the most?   Thanks.

My SE530s were my first high-end universal IEMs, though I had deviated to other IEMs over time. Today, after many trials, I came back to the Shure sound signature, my original sound and the one I realized I loved the most after trying out the IEMs listed above. UM3Xs were just too analytical...

  Hi,   Please can anyone help?   I am hoping to replace my ageing Sennheiser IE7 IEMs which seem to lack bass despite having good mid-range and treble and would appreciate some advice as to possible IEM or on ear headphone replacements for use with my iPod Touch 4 and Samsung Galaxy...

Hey guys, I've been one of those silent readers on Head-Fi hoping to learn more about IEMs and all, and right now I'm using a W2 (been using it for about, give or take, a year). Recently I thought of changing my earphones since I was kinda looking for a fresh experience in listening to my music...

I really love my UM3X. Every time I put them in after listening to other earphones, it's as if my ears breathe a sigh of relief. I just really like the sound sig of them.   Having said that, are there any BA IEMs on the market that have a similar sound sig, but are somewhat more affordable...

I'm currently using the ALO RX to amp both the UM3X AND the HD600 but I need something with a proper volume adjustment so that I can determine what sound level I'm at.   I'm considering the 2Stepdance as a replacement for my 1 and a half year old RX and I'm expecting it to have an...

Hello,   This is my first time posting a list on Head-Fi and trying to decide between Westone 3 and Westone UM3X. I have read about them and people's comments and expericence. I do know W3 has great bass and highs and UM3x has a Neutral sound with great Mids. I was thinking about getting W3...

It's time to replace my Westone UM3X which I bought for about three years ago. They have not survived the challenge of time, it first started with me being foolish enough to take a running trip in blistering rain which led to water going right into the left monitor going all dead for a few days...

Dear head-fiers.   I do realize that this might not be the best place for this post to be but i can't seem to find a better place than here(since everyone talks about their iem here). I'm actually looking for some suggestions for online headphone stores.   I clearly recall one that has a...

  First of I can't stress enough that I' am nowhere remotely close to being an audiophile in any stretch of the imagination. But as most people I was born with a pair of hears, and is there one thing I love it's good sounding audio going through them.   So basically I have neither in-depth...

Hi, I've recently purchased the Westone UM3X and I love it, though this is the first high-quality IEM that I have ever bought (to me, a huge step up from Ultrasone Pro 900).  Anyways, I've noticed that the classical, especially Baroque music (mainly Vivaldi, but others too) wasn't as fun to...

Is there a mic on UM3X>???  if not is there a diy to take from original iphone earhones?? as I am thinking to buy these to listen on my iPhone 4S.

Disclaimer: I own only the 535s, and have not heard the others, but as part of buyer's remorse I started to consider whether the other 3 would be better. Based on my intensive research, here is a summary of what I learned for others to add to or learn from. Call it after-the-fact justification...
