I have had a pair of Westone 3's which I use at the gym 3-4 times a week.  They have been fantastic.  Sound great, and VERY comfortable and lightweight.   I am wondering if the newer models of Westone are as comfortable and lightweight?

Hey guys, I just want to see how long westone iems are expected to last so I started this thread. I would like to know what westone model it is, how long you have had them so far and what troubles did you have with them so far for example, if you had to send your iem back to westone for fixing...

I'm using and really appreciating the new Westone EPICS MICS cable on BTG-Audio modified Fischer DBA-02's, and trying to decide if I like the soft wire inside the cable sheath. It is easily formed/reformed to shape, and the clear sheath will prevent cable stiffening in this area, the problem...

So I changed my cable on my TF10's to a westone cable. And the sound in the right ear is still louder than the one in the left. Its so annoying! i have to squeeze the left earbud to get it loud. What should I do? Does UE have good customer service?

What earphones / brands have the best build quality ? Too many earphones have died on me because of cable issues, so I really want to make sure that build quality is one of the main criteria in my selection.

I found it in Taiwan shop  Do you know name of this cable? and how much is it.   Thank Ps. Can you guide me about replace cable for um3x.that price about 100 + -    Sorry for my bad english

fed up with my new TF10s, cant even walk around without losing the seal (supertips) would like recos for an IEM that is small, easy to wear, seals well and wont fall out, and good isolation prefer to wear them straight down    .....(would etymotic hf5 fit the bill?)

I have had Westone 3 for 2 years and the cable is already broken. In fact there is a default at the exact point between the end of the cable and the section of the cable that is bigger before entering the earplug. That point is being flex all the point when you listen to your earphone (because...

I want something with a strong beat, crispy drums that you can get into. I also like emotionally involving vocals where you feel the singer, but not too bright. Is westone 4 worth getting? so music comes alive out of them? Im considering UM3X but vocals werent the strong point on those.

I have Shure SE215 & 535LTD and Westone 4 & UM3X and I use the large triple flange tips (with the smallest flange removed). For me they are the best sounding tips with those IEMs and they fit my right ear very well. My left ear canal is just a smidge larger and the tip will only stay sealed if I...

I am a recent purchaser of two custom IEMs, the UE11 and ES2, made by Ultimate Ears and Westone, respectively. Both have some fit issues: One of the Westone earpieces extends too far from my ear, and one of the UE11 earpieces does not allow a good seal. The finish on the UE11s was sub-par as...

Has anybody had any experience with westones icustoms?

Hi there,   Is there anyone here on Head-Fi who represents Westone?   I sent my UM3X in for repair, and received an email from Linda Chambless asking for my credit card information to charge my CC for the shipping and repair charges.   The shipping was quoted for 36.95. I shipped my...

Well community, the title says it all. Somehow, someway I lost my UM3Xs. I need ideas for replacements. I would love feedback from as many people as possible. Suggestions, opinions. I am open to all.

Hi everyone,   may i know where do you guys ordered your UM/Westones customs from? Im currently residing in singapore and the customs here are very costly via local dealers. So far ive only found www.earplugstore.com but they are restricted to westones only.   Looking forward to your...

First off all, i'd like to give a big thank you to the community for helping me down my path to audiophile-ness, it's been a fantastic journey.    For the most part I've stuck to circumaural headphones since I used to find IEMs pretty uncomfortable. Problem is, I never tried any higher end...

I was thinking of getting some JH IEMs and was wondering if anybody could recommend a good audiologist in NYC area.  I have seen that it is important to get the good impressions for the first time so as to avoid refits.    I have seen the list JH recommmends ...

So at the store the other day, I ask a lady if she needs anything else for her iPod to go with the charger she was buying, mainly suggesting a better pair of headphones as I saw the tell-tale white cable of the Apple earphones around her neck. She said, "You think you have something better than...

Introduction: This review will cover the flagship IEMS of UE, JH Audio and Westone. Overtime more IEMs from different brands will be covered such as UM and 1964 Ears. Please note that currently I only have 3 fully custom IEMS The Westone ES5, UE18Pro and the JH16Pro.  Whilst I have the...

they seem to have the two prong connector so i was curious.

I know this has probably been covered many of times but what is a good amp for Westone UM3x that would be able to "expand" the soundstage, giving it a bit more depth and "fun".
