Hi ppl!

I have been reading earphones reviews for over a week, and really really is a pain hehe, too many options, and too many earphones.

Now the time to decide has come, so I'm considering this options:

WESTONE UM1
.. anything from 100-150

I hear all kind of music (pop, metal, mariachi music :p).

I want them mainly for listening while at computer, and maybe at a gym someday :p

Do you have a recommendation? I'm open to all suggestions oon what to get (or not to get)

Thanks!

You're probably not getting too much response because there is a bazillion of these threads here. Be more specific and try the search function.

If you're going to listen to your music via your computer your better off just getting full sized headphones. As far as opinion for IEMs within the $100-$150 price range, the UE3 is really the only pair of earphones that I can comment on. Their really good considering the price (You can get them for around $70 at earphonesolutions.com). Definitely better than the stock earphones I recieved. I will also be getting the UM1s sometime next week.

Thanks for the advise!

I read some of the trillion threads, and finally choose a Head-Direct RE2 for $80.00. They have nice reviews here, and almost everybody said they beat the UM1s.

Thanks!
