I have a UM3X for about four years and think this is the perfect headphone, almost made ​​especially for me...    How does it compare with UM Pro 50?   Cheers,   Peter

The Westone made the UM3X ​​exactly to my bassist ears. The jewel. 2 years of pure audio enjoyment.   In this same family, what would be my next Westone upgrade?   Cheers,   Peter

Dear guhmo,   coming from an Ety, the transition is simpler, since they are sort of cousins​​. Think of a UM3X as the evolution of Ety ER4S, since both share the same "sound orientation". I hope you understand what I mean...   As the soundstage, the UM3X has no problem. It represents...

The same.   Coming from a Westone 3, I soon realized the lack of soundstage and bass in the UM3X.   Some time later, tired of W3, I decided to retest the UM3X and I was madly in love with this headphone.   This is a marvel that needs some time to getting used to.   Cheers,  ...

Kiteki,   I fully agree with what you wrote.   In the end, it all comes down to taste. And in this case, the graphics completely lose importance.   PS: I have an S:Flo2 and a Samsung Galaxy S with Voodoo Sound and the differences in sound signature, using my Westone UM3X, is very...

With BA headphones, supreme.   Peter   Quote:

The sound of your taste should be achieved through the headphones, not from the DAP. The headphone, for me, is a most important part of the setup.   Not all manufacturers implement  well their equalizers, so it is best to use them in "flat" or "normal." And the correct headphone will work...

R.I.P. J3.   You were a very good DAP.   Thank you.

Amplifiers are not musical salvation. In fact, most of the time (in my experience), they can spoil the good work done by the internal amplifier of the DAP.   Let's be honest: Rarely an external amplifier will be used just to amplify a source. What is the purpose of an amplifier for IEM´s...

Oh man!   Take time and listen to a Samsung Galaxy S with Voodoo Sound. After this, and only then, place your comment.   I just use IEM's. And today, just one: Westone UM3X. I have used all possible combinations of DAP's, headphones and amplifiers. Among the DAPS, I've had X5 Cowon D2...

The size of the nozzle has a lot to do with the size of the soundstage in a headphone. The short nozzle makes a smooth insertion by allowing outside sounds to interact with the sound of the headphone, bringing aeration and incrementing the size of soundstage in the overall sound.   Quote...

You are right and is a good point of view.     Quote:  

  Do You have an Ety ER4? Great. So I would say that the UM3X is the evolution of ER4. They are sort of cousins ​​and share many (good) features. Changing to UM3X did not cause major difficulties and provides a beautiful experience.   I can not understand why complain so much of the...

Dear julianlaz,   Let's put things in perspective: I like a warm, relaxed and wide sound, with no harsh treble.   I love the Comply P Series tips. It is with them that I always used my UM3X.   I at first did not like my HM-602. I thought he was too bright (A little hot on the mids...

Yes.   The UM3X is easy to drive. And it works very well with any DAP. The sound quality will depend only on the source.   To me, this headphone is the best.   Cheers,   Peter Quote:  

  This setup, to my taste, is in the edge of a bright side of the sound. And I´m always use this DAP in the low gain mode.   Using UM3X with olive tips is very good with HM-602 alone. In the othe hand, I love my HM-602 paired with iBasso P3+ amplifier. This is the setup with almost...

Hello!     The bass in this headphone are excellent! The quantity and quality, in fact, will depend on the source and amplifier. With the correct setup, the bass in this headphone become almost palpable, an almost physical sensation.   You can also use Shure olive´s for a little bit...

  Yes, you can read "slim" in the backplate of the newer device.   The only difference is the backplate itself. See the 3th and 4th picture.   Quote:  

  To clarify:   1 - I did not notice any sound difference between the "old" HM-601 and the slim version;   2 - In practice, there is no difference in size between the two devices. The new one is a little bit thinner. And nothing else.   3 - The firmware in the slim version is 0.08.

  Oh, Yes!   Nothing indicates that there was a big sound changes between the SE530/535/535Red models.    For my taste, UM3X is vastly superior.   First, the SE5xx have a condensed sound, that narrows the soundstage, separation of instruments, etc., making the sound "small" and...

Some pictures comparing a HM-601 Slim with older generation HM-602:             Cheers,   Peter

This is a headphone that I would like to try... :o)   Quote:  

  I've had a Shure SE530.   I'm not interested in this headphone.   For my taste, there is no comparison between them. Quote:
