I'm not sure if it would damage them. It is a sung fit with the stock cable and I am unfamiliar with the size of their cable, so I would say if its significantly thicker than to avoid going with the Monitor Vault.

No problem, I've found that the overall bass appearance is much more crisp and defined. The sub bass notes (atleast for me) seem to go deeper and capture shifts in a more definitive way. As for the mid bass it is more rounded out. I don't find the bass on the ES5's to be as over powering as in...

So after listening to them for just under a week I can say with confidence that the sound that the ES5's drive is much more clear, detailed, and smooth. First the highs come in with so much more detail that it is quite incredible. The mids are much more clear and detailed, allowing you to pick...

So far I have been intrigued by the differences in the sound characteristics between the ES5's and the UM-3X's. The ES5's sound stage opens up and it not as close to you feeling in a sense. With my UM-3X I always have felt that the music was right in my face, while the ES5's provide a rounded...

It started out with my love affair with music years ago, now it has blossomed to its peak. Back in 2009 I got my first true in ear monitors, a pair of M-Audio IE-30's. These dual monitor pearls emitted sounds that I had never heard or fathomed before. I enjoyed these in-ears for several years...

Hey sorry I got busy, I just took the pictures but I couldn't my ruler to get you dimensions but heres the pictures:   Its just a little wider, a little taller, and actually shorter in length than the clam shell.

Hey Eclipes, yes I can do a posting tomorrow in the evening with it next to the clamshell and with the dimensions written out. Its very comparable but is noticeably thicker, though completely worth it with the protection it provides over a cloth clam case.

Just got my Westone Monitor Vault in today and thought I'd do a quick write up of my first impressions on it (my first posting):     I got it in the mail today and was anxious to open it, dropping it on the ground it the process (). I chose the orange color (comes in clear, orange, and...

How do you like the UM56 on the UM3X? Considering getting these for my UM3X's.

where did you find the serial number on your box? I can't seem to find mine.

Awesome thanks for the great response eclipes!

So with a macbook pro I shouldn't need an amp to run the UM3X?

would you recommend an amp for the UM3X when using them with a laptop (macbook pro)?

I just picked up the UM3X's and was hoping to hear this. Do you use an amp when using these with a computer? If so what kind of computer are you using?
