hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has opinions on the Pro50's. A friend has a set for sale at a very good price, they are 4 years old and were used for playing gigs, ive been told they are little used (due to bluetooth upgrade and no gigs due to covid). I currently have a trusty set of SE425's but would like to upgrade and these have just popped up. i'll be able to demo them shortly but i just thought id ask if anyone has experience using these.

They will be used with a Cowon D2 and i listen mostly to electronic music (with some grateful dead, jj cale, valerie June etc thrown in)

cheers

I use them and love them!

They're very warm (lots of mid-bass, decent sub-bass) and not particularly detailed. Very forgiving and not fatiguing, to my ear. I find the soundstage to be pretty wide/large when the music calls for it, but I've never heard of other people with that impression, so maybe it's just me.

I think the two main drawbacks for me are that 1) they're very tip-dependent (I use Symbios), and 2) something about the frequency response makes them sound best when they're a little louder than I normally like to listen.

Also, here's the official UM Pro thread.

Also, also, I can see the UM Pro 50 not being for everyone, so it's probably best to audition them. Be sure to give them plenty of time so you can get used to them.
