Hey guys, the pins/connectors on the cable of my Westone UM3X RC broke off inside the iem and only very little(and I do mean VERY little) of the pins is sticking out.Any suggestions on how to deal with this? any special pliers out that might work? Any DIY'ers that you know of that might be able...

Hello Everyone.   Got a questions for the forum members that is likely a bit odd for this forum.  I purchased a set of IEM (Westone UM3Xs).  These are wonderful when properly EQed.  The problem I have is I am using them an Aviom personal monitoring station.  The EQ capabilities on the Aviom...

Hello, I'm new to this forum but have been reading quite a bit about IEMs for the last few weeks. I have a few in mind, and have pulled the trigger on one set, but want to learn some more and get another set in the very near future. I've based my decision largely on this site, and in large part...

Anyone ever tried this cable or know anything about these guys? I am interested cause I have both um3x and se535 and would like a tougher iphone cable than what shure provides for the 535's and afaik westone doesn't offer an iphone cable yet. Anyway, you'll find the link below. Thanks! "hifi...

Hey guys!   Forgive me i know this is an overkilled topic but i'm afraid i have to bring it up in yet another similar thread because from all the threads i've read, I somehow drift further and further from a decision. Okay so i'm making a huge investment upgrade from my current senn IE8. So...

I've come across a good weekend deal on these sets of earphones and am considering an impulse upgrade.  I've searched the forum and found plenty of UM3X vs W4 threads.  The general consensus seems to be that UM3X have more bass and the W4 have better mids & highs and sound more open.    ...

Hello all,    I have been reading forums recently regarding the IEM's mentioned in topic, Most forums/threads/topics i have read doesn't have what i want. I myself listen mostly K-POP and J-POP, OST' and i need some help in which one among the 3 IEM's or if any, other IEM's i should consider...

Hi guys, as the title says, I'm trying to decide between these 2 for a new pair of IEMs.  Any opinions?   -edit- Dont know if this changes anything but, I have (and plan to keep) a pair of TF 10's. Also, W4s are an option as well.

I am looking at getting a new set of iems for christmas. I have owned a set of Shure E3C, and had a set of B&W C5s. I took the C5s back. I have had the shures for a few years, and they sounded good for what they were.   I am looking for an IEM that will give me great details in the mids and...

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...

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help.  I own and much enjoy a pair of Westone 2's, finding them extremely comfortable.  I was thinking of upgrading to Westone UMX3's (from everything I've read the Westone 3's seem a bit too bass heavy for my taste), but I'm worried that they won't fit as...

I'm looking for a pair of IEMs that make vocals sound great, because with my JVC HA-S500, AND Monoprice 8320's (Please note that my AKG K702's never did this before I sold them), when I'm listening to a song, the vocals sound far away, and shouty, so in a song where you're supposed to just feel...

Dear Everyone   I am hoping to purchase both of these IEMS, but was wondering what is the exact difference when it come to both of these IEMS. So can you guys tell me what exactly is the difference between these two? Right now most people seem to prefer the Westone 4R over the UM3X, which...

Hi Guys. For a couple of years, I have been using Westone UM3X and I love them very much! Unfortunately, the right ear piece is broken(probably a driver died out since the volume on the right is way lower and I can't hear the mids well) and having it fixed is too difficult because I'd have to...

Hi all!   Been a long time reader finally joined today.   Just wanted to know if there's any way to check my drive's condition of my um3x and x10. All my source are ripped directly from cd to aiff and ipod phone out to the earbuds. Can sometimes hear a tad bit of sizzling like "ta...

Are there any universals with balanced armature driver(s) the can do sub bass rumble or is the tf10 in 2012 still the only one? um3x and W3 have more of an midbass hump, that i do not like. sm3/sm2 would have been great if i could stand the soundstage, which seems wierd to me.   i cannot...

Hi, I'm a newbie in the head-fi community, but I did have some experience with good universal IEM's such as the UE Triple Fi 10. Currently, these guys have gone into repairing, and I'm planning to use them for at least one more year. Meanwhile, I'm looking at the new flagship IEM's that are...

Over my audio journey, I've tried many different earphones in an attempt to find the perfect sound signature for me.   However, I've come to a sudden realisation: I just want fun! I want an earphone that'll allow me to tap my feet and feel good. I don't listen to music that requires ultra...

Hello everyone!   A few years ago, I purchased the SE210 after reading up on reviews and deciding that they were the best fit. I was upgrading from the JBL Reference 220, so I very much appreciated the difference in sound quality. Unfortunately they broke approximately a year ago, but I...

Yes, I do realize that mixing is done best with true studio monitors or reference headphones, but I'm just wondering what the best IEM for mixing would be. Please note that although they need to be good for mixing and need to be very well balanced (with no frequencies recessed), I'd want them to...

Is it advisable to reshell IEMS like UM3X? Cause it seems cheaper than the ES3x. Im just worried it might sound like **** when itcomes back
