Just got my UM3x today, so we will see how they are compared to my older 3's.

This means always having to lug around a LOD and amp. The Westone has zero benefit from the E5, but does sound a little better with my iBasso D3 as a source/amp. I feel unsure of my decision at this point because I really thought I'd like the UM3X more when I got the chance to compare them to the PFE. I guess I'll give my ears a few more days to come to a conclusion. I apologize if I have become redundant in my dilemma. I'll try to say some new things every once in a while. |

I really like both, although having the IE8's I felt that the UM3X were a bit too smooth as well for me to keep both. I was looking for something with a bit more edge, which it seems the W3's certainly have it. Now, I'm not saying that the UM3X sound like the IE8's. I just think the overall presentation is similar as far as them both being very laid back and smooth, not in your face and muscular sounding as I'm finding the W3's to be.
