    Choose Westone W40 or W4R or UM PRO 30 or UM3XRC

    I listen to mainly the same genres as you and found the UM3X great. It's a nice IEM but you have to find the right tips for yourself, I personally prefer the Shure yellow foamies. How it sounded to me in a few words: amazing separation, analytical, not too harsh on the treble (ie. unlike W3...

    Hisoundaudio ROCOO BA - Superior Hi-Fi player for Ciem's & Iem's

    Recently got wind of this Rocoo BA player and might want to give it a try with my UM3X. Anyone with experience with this combination?   I will be replacing the Cowon S9, I find it a bit too bulky and want something smaller.

    Limited, wooden portable ATH-ESW10JPN arrives! (with pics)

    The AT sound signature is definitely very different from other headphones I've listened to... very prominent midrange, which didn't suit the music I listened to unfortunately. Treble extension is great, but like you mentioned, the bass is definitely lacking from what I remember.

    You can't compare full size headphones to IEM's, they are totally different :P

    I think the UM3X sounds really good with Cowon's line of MP3 players with BBE enabled... makes up for the lack of sparkle.

    Finally got my ESW10JPN's. ...and I don't even know why I sold them in the first place. Geez, I won't make the same mistake again! Need to get used to the sound sig again, but boy, are these detailed. Just in time for Christmas
