My UM3X-RCs died the other day so I think I'm going to pick up a pair of these as a replacement.

  Thanks for the advice. I'll check them out.

Thinking about the UM Pro 30s or W30s but I'm ot sure yet -- haven't had a chance to look at the alternatives.

They offered $100 USD off the UM Pro 30 price but with only a 1 year warranty (standard is 2 year) and it was IEMs only -- no retail box or accessories. I live in Canada and once you factor in exchange rate and shipping the price was more than what I can buy them for new here in Canada with full...

I contacted Westone about the possibility of an out of warranty repair but apparently they cannot or will not repair the UM3X-RCs. They offered a bare bones (no accessories/retail box) UM PRO 30 with only 1 year warranty (standard is 2) at a reduced price but I can buy either the UM PRO 30 or...

Seems like my 5 year old UM3X-RCs have died. I've had some intermittent cut-outs over the years since I first bought them but it was pretty infrequent. However, now the volume has dropped rather significantly in the right IEM and when I tap it I can hear a rather loud rattle from inside so...

I like most of their 80s stuff and all of their 90s output. I'm not keen on much from the 00s other than a few tracks here and there.   That being said, I really like the new album.

Quote:   I finally received my UM3X-RCs today. The cable near the earpieces are surrounded by a clear memory plastic that keeps its shape and doesn't seem to impact comfort at all.  

I'm finding Songbird (Mac version) far too buggy to use. It keeps messing up the filters when using the browse view. That and it skips tracks and often will not play files (flac).   I'm using it to access music over a network share (files stored on my NAS) so that could be part of the...

Shure E4, recently departed.   UM3x-RC arriving tomorrow though!

I'm listening to the Black Keys. Love this band.

Wait a sec... the UM3X RC comes with more tips than the regular UM3X?   If so, bonus! I should be receiving the RC version next week. I expected the accessories would be the same as the as the UM3X!   Note: Just checked the Westone site and Freeze is correct. The RC version does come...

I'll be sure to report back my impressions once I have them (hopefully by Wednesday of next week).

Anyone tried the UM3x with a Supermacro 3? (I'm pretty sure I have version 5). I ordered a pair w/ removable cables and should be receiving them next week if all goes well. They will be replacing a broken pair of Shure E4s (stupid cables).   This will be my setup: iPhone 3Gs -> TWcu LOD ->...

I'm in the same boat -- my E4s died after about 5 years (cracked cable).   I was initially going to go with the SE530s but I kept reading about cable problems with them as well. After a bit of research I ordered the Westone UM3X-RCs. They should be here next week and I hope I didn't make a...

     Quote:   I did more research and stumbled upon the Westone UM3x. After reading through a few review/impressions threads I've decided to go with those. They seem to directly address the concerns I have with the Westone 3s and they are now available with removable cables that can be...

earphonesolutions is running a 15% discount promotion right now so I'm willing to go for the Westones 3s at that price.

Well, I'm finally looking to replace my Shure E4 earphones that I bought back in 2005. I've been very content with them over the years but the cable cracked a while back and now the right channel is constantly cutting out.   I've narrowed potential replacements down to either the Westone 3s...

Grado Statement Platinum on a Rega P3-24.

I would order a pair but I just spent a considerable sum on new speakers. Bah. Oh well!

Welcome to the RS-1 club! I hope you enjoy them

Ow! Definitely not a good experience. Thanks for sharing it. I have been looking into the Shanlings as a possible buy.

Damn, I gotta get me one of those stands. It might keep me from denting up my RS-1s further
