Apple EarPods Thread
I'm on board with most. These puppies rock. I own a set of Westone UM3X's, used to have UM2's, and have a few lower end MEElectronics... and to be honest, I prefer the these $30 headphones over all of them except the UM3X's (which are $350 headphones). IMO, I prefer them over my old...- dirkph

Best place to buy foam tips?
Hello! Looking for your guys' and girls' opinion on what the best place on the 'net is to buy foam tips. I am using Westone 3umx headphones so based on research I think I need something like a Comply T-100 tip. The foam tips I see everywhere are pretty pricey ranging from $15 to...- dirkph

Attention Motorcyclists! Good Riding Headphones?
Thanks for the reply. They don't seem to be in-ear though...just buds. On a motorcycle, there's a ton of noise that I'd like to block out. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?- dirkph

Attention Motorcyclists! Good Riding Headphones?
Hello all, My friend and I are looking for a pair of good headphones for riding. The headphones should preferably have those sport "hooks" that some headphones have (as they will stay in your ear the best when your helmet is on). We're looking to spend up to $50 or less. Just...- dirkph

Weston UM3X... Rattling?
I just ordered these UM3X's from EBay (brand new) and they arrived less than a week ago. At first, they sounded great... but just today the 'high's' on the left earphone disappeared entirely. Plus it's the left earphone isn't as loud as the right side now (yes, I double checked that it wasn't...- dirkph

Westone UM3X Thread
My set of UM3X's just came in a few days ago. I've been burning them in as much as possible, but from what I can tell they're absolutely perfect for me. I had a set of UM2's, and they were wonderful (actually, I still have them but I sent them in to Westone for repair). But compared to...- dirkph

Westone UM2 wire wear...
Hello! I tried searching but couldn't find what I was looking for. My Westone UM2 wires are wearing out right where the wire "ends" and the hard, plastic ear-bud starts. There's a little slice in the wire and sometimes that particular ear-piece won't work unless I giggle the wire around...- dirkph
