I have had a set of these for a few weeks now and really like them with my Pico slim and IPOD classic   Whats else is out there that could beat them ??   Have tried a few recently but nothing has impressed ....   Would welcome any suggestions   Cheers    

  I am trying to understand if it would be possible to fit an Apple 3-button controller (say, cut off from Apple in-ear phones with remote and mic) on to a detachable cable of a set of custom in-ears, say Westone or UE?   - will it work? I think it should. I understadn there is a chip in...

So my UM2 cable got messed up and was causing no noise to come out the left, or both (i dont remember) earpieces. So I mailed them in, it took awhile for them to get there and then get examined by there repair crew or whatever, it was like a week to a week 1/2 before I got an email back, and...

I've seen these on their website, but have been unable to find any reviews. Does anyone have them? I'm looking to get my first customs and just wondering about prices/performance.   Thanks!

Just wanted to make sure that I have my Westone ES cables correctly connected to my UE TripleFi 10's.    (I am NOT using the flip-flop/reverse mod on these)   Right - Red - Dot racing Rearward Left  - Blue - Dot facing Forward (UE logo)      

From what I've read, the Westone cables improve the mids and highs, but lessen the bass. I really like the bass the way it is right now, but I can't stand the cable at all. I've read that the Lune also has a bass reduction. If anything, I'd like an increase in quality or quantity or to keep them...

does anyone have any experience with the westone warranty service? my westone 3 has a problem near the jack area. when i press on the "L" part, the signal completely cuts out. so i sent them an email b/c the website seems to be down right down. but i was just wondering if anyone had any prior...

Hi Thought I'd made up my mind (finally)to get the westone two's. However been given another option in the shure se420's at a reduced rate (£180 vs £130!). So back to square one. So out of the westone 2 and Shure se420 which would be the better for a)ease of use, b)comfort c)isolation...

Shopping around for a set of high quality sound IEM, currently using metrofi 220vi for iphone. - the audio source will be iphone. there's millions of brands and models around, but because i live in Australia, there's no shops that can try out before i purchase.   my budget would be...

Anyone out there have any experience with the AC2's?  Can anyone compare them to the ES2's?  I'm about 3 inches from pulling the trigger on the AC2's but i want ot make sure i research as much as possible before i make my decision.    Been using the UM1's for right now until i can make my...

Hi all,   I am a long time lurker of these forums, but I haven't posted much. I have finally decided to purchase some higher end earbuds, and I'm looking to spend somewhere between $150-300, definitely not much more then that. I would prefer to spend around 200 or less, but am willing to go...

Hi, I am looking into custom iems but would prefer to order from within eu. The only two european custom iem manufacturers I know are acs and earsonics. Internationally based iem manufacturers with dealers in eu would be fine too. I know ultimate ears has dealers, even for their custom products...

Hey guys, Has any Head-Fiers done any remolding or adding additional drivers to their IEMs to make them into customs? Do ALL the companies tune the sound to JH/UE/Westone...? Are there tuning into other sound signatures?   Thanks!

Hey,   I want to purchase or at least try out the UM3X but am stuck between the RC or non-RC version (detachable or fixed cable, that is). Now, I know this has been hashed out at least a thousand times here on the forums, but I can't seem to find the answer to the following three questions...

What is the best portable amp for Westone 4's (IEM's) using a HeadStage Arrow (amp)?   I have an iPod Nano 5th generation on order and figure there are better sources out there.   I want to spend under $300.00.   Recommendations? Also, with your recommendation, please include a name...

I have a pair of silicone UM56's coupled with my UM3X IEMs. I love them but they do not fit very tight. Sometimes the the tips stay in my ear when I pull the IEMs, which is no big deal because of the swizzle stick, but twice one has fallen off as I was putting them in. Luckily I found the...

The westone 4 I think were going to be 449. Which do you guys think

Hi I'm currently using an 80GB iPod Video, with all files as Apple Lossless and I use Westone 3 IEM. I'm on a mission to get better sound quality all the time and want to improve my inventory more and more over the next year or so. Well forever. My question is, what should I buy next in my...

Hi all,   I did a quick search but couldn't find a definitive answer from any existing threads. I'm looking to buy a Westone es cable for my UE superfi 5 pros, but have struggled to find any in the UK, or even US sites that ship to the UK for a reasonable price. I have looked at Jaben's es8...

Why are triple flanges white to begin with? They just end up looking all nasty and turn yellow from ear wax after a few weeks of usage. Does anyone know where I can find black ones? I am looking to use them for my Westone 2 so anything that works for Shure should work for Westone too.

I listen to House, Club, Techno, Rap, Pop and other hit music on billboards.   I'm willing to spend under $500 maybe more depending on what you guys recommend me.   I also want a portable amp to go with it.

I have the shure 535 and they sound great but I also see reviews regarding that the westone 3 was better for the type of music I like (pop, rock, hip hop, country & some dance music) compare to the Shure 535 which is better for classical, jazz. & blues. The problem is I'm not a bass head and...

Now that I will be pre-ordering the Westone 4's, what portable AMP's should I be looking at?

Yesterday, Dec 10 around 7:00 pm, Lynn Kehler, Westone's CEO, posts a pic on his personal Twitter account showing an iPad and what might look like the Westone 4.   His comments were limited to "I'm testing out a new iPad...man, the sound quality is great!   The picture looks blurry and we...
