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...- obentou

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.- obentou

Westone UM3X Thread
The UM3X's have kept me from buying anything for the past 2+ years... I even had to send it in for out of warranty repair. It's been doing a fine job and I love the sound with the audio enhancements coming from the Cowon S9. Haven't logged onto this forum forever and the UM3X is...- obentou

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.- obentou

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