Hi all,   I've had some UM2s for many years and have always been happy with them. Recently I managed to break them beyond repair....   Since I need some new phones, are the UM3X a worthwhile upgrade over the UM2s?   My sources are a 1st gen rockboxed nano for out and about and at the...

Hi all, I'm currently using Westone UM2s with their UM56 custom molds and am happy with them but the urge to upgrade has arrived and I want full custom molds. I want to upgrade to some ES2s. The problem is I live in the UK and Variphone, their European dealer, charge around $1100 for...

I'd just like to say a big thumbs up to Headroom. My Total Bithead turned up today after winging it's way across the pond Plugged it into my work laptop and it installed easily. After some initial problems with foobars ASIO plugin (I use ASIO4ALL) it all works a treat and on low gain it has...

Hi folks, I've not posted here in a long while and have a question about the Total Bithead. When it's plugged into the PC via USB do I need the AAA batteries? I want to buy one for work as I'm fed up of being able to identify different Windows apps from the sound the make on my UM-2s...

I just wondered this as I regularly use foam earplugs for sleeping and my custom molds don't seem to seal as easily anymore Very annoying considering how much they cost. Any thoughts?

Happy New Year all! Does anyone have any suggestions on a cheapish DAC/Amp? Basically I just bought a Turtle Beach AudioAdvantage for my work laptop expecting to be able to use my UM-2s with it. However there's just a constant hiss from it's headphone out as they're too sensitive. Thing is it...

Hi all, New in this section. I'm currently having to put up with my old Sony phones with my work laptop because the noise etc it produces are just nasty if I use my UM2s with it. I'm wondering if there's a decent USB soundcard with headphone out that I can use? Has to be USB as it's the...

Damned this forum, damn it to hell!!! Well for making me spend money anyways My UM56 custom molds for my UM2s arrived today and all I can say is OMG!! I thought they were fantastic before...but now, well I haven't taken them out yet. I'm just listening through an iPod nano at the...

I got some custom ear molds done on Saturday for my UM-2s. The guy has taken the molds and actually makes the tips as well though not sure what they're going to look like, went for black and purple. Anyways, having something pushed into my ear that far reminded me I needed ear syringe but...

Anyone from the UK on here have any suggestions on where I could get ear molds done? A normal GP isn't going to do it so any ideas? Was wanting to start the ball rolling with getting some custom plugs for my UM-2s

I have ebay open and I soo want to buy some to upgrade from my E2cs but my brain is telling me they're too much money. Would go on a CC anyways. E2cs just not good enough and not enough bass. I listen to my ipod for 2hrs just travelling to/from work and then varying amounts at work during...

Hi all, I'm new round here but I did take a read of some of the reviews before posting. Basically I want something better than my E2cs. I feel the bass response somewhat lacking and could only ever get a good seal with the foam plugs. For example, Korn's 'Blind' has some very low bass...
