live acoustic stuff is amazing on the um3x, also the Natalie merchant live album is great with a good player too.

@playingwithfire & inego: thank you for sharing.

Does anyone have 10,000 Maniacs MTV Unplugged and or Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Live At Radio City on their archives? I would love to hear how these are rendered through the UM3X.

Thanx

No problems - and thanks for reminding me to load some Ms Merchant onto the ipod now I have a 1tb drive in the computer.....

@inego: thanks for taking time. On 10,000 Maniacs MTV Unplugged... how's does she sound on What's The Matter Here? on Like The Weather... how's the percussions/drums and the strings?

As to anyone who can test how these two (10,000 Maniacs MTV Unplugged and Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Live At Radio City) sound on the UM3X... I really would appreciate it very much... with Protector through balanced would be a huge plus too. I hope I'm not asking too much

Thanks again

 

[inego]

Sorry can't help there - currently zilch loaded, and I'm at work so no access to CDs. Will try later on.....

 

[jussssss]

what are you using as a player ?

The Radio City album is great, having a listen now on the westones, i think its the best sounding DMB live album. But i always thought they could have brought the volume up a bit on Daves guitar. Havent got 10,000 maniacs tho.

another 5 hours on and these are sounding fantastic, might be time to try them on the d10 soon

Just picked up a pair of 3Xs today after the cord on my SE530's failed for the second time in 2.5 years. I first used the silicone tips I was using on my SE530's then switched over to the large Comply tips; finally a foam tip that works in my ears :-D (Yes I've tried Shure's olives). "The Wall"... directly out of my late '09 Mac Book Pro was amazing, blew me away. The warm..balanced...natural sound these IEMs produce is simply something one must observe to appreciate. I see no issue with the bass on these IEMs at all....plenty plenty for me...popped in some Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe...Flea still kicked ass!! If anything I say (coming from the Shures) I like them just a touch brighter....hardly much at all....I suspect my ears will adjust. I'm going to send in my Shures with a letter hoping a technician will do the right thing and send me a replacement that I can put up for sale at a nice price to fund the portable amp purchase. Any thoughts on an amp for the 3Xs: Headstage Arrow 12HE...ALO Rx Perscription AMP BLACK & ALO OCC combo?? I typically listen to high bitrate MP3's (320 kbps) as well as some lossless audio out of my iPhone 3G when portable...mostly Classic 60-70 Rock, some Jazz, Newer Alternative/Punk.

They are amazing. So fast, so smooth, so natural. I owned and loved SE530 for almost 3 years but I think UM3X is superior in every area including midrange.

 

[fraggerz]

Just got the UM3x 30 mins ago and i'm burning them in....

First impression are that the isolation is superb and the bass is tight.
But the mids and highs are not up to my expectations yet..but lets see what burn in will do to em' ^^

 

[stang]

Well since the drivers aren't dynamic, burn in won't help, except for maybe 10 minutes after they are taken out of the box. I am not too impressed with my UM3X. I need to get some better music on my Walkman though. I have a feeling metal isn't bringing out 20% of the UM3Xs strengths

 

[fraggerz]

could you recommend me tips to go with the um3x? i dont really fancy the complys as they distort the music

 

[stang]

Give the Shure Black Foam Sleeves (Olives) a go. I haven't yet, as I keep forgetting to buy them and I go and buy some other stuff

X2! The Shure black foam sleeves do wonders to isolate external noise and provide a comfortable fit.

I've experimented on many tips before landing myself the olives and haven't looked back since.

 

[stang]

I still need to get myself some. Dunno if I would need the small or medium sized tips. I'd rather not spend $60 on a pack of each to find out I have to sell a pack at a big loss

I wish someone had a spare pair

Everyone seems to like theirs too much to give (or even sell) me a pair of each
