in fact i'm quite clueless about why people need to weigh W3s buying decisions and UM3X buying decisions. They are totally different beasts.
i think most people have already covered the ground that W3s are definitely bassier than um3x but um3x has the midrange that w3 lacks.
I initially asked to audition the W3s and um3x. but i had already coiled up the W3s within 5 mins. just not what i needed in signature. that was when i asked to audition the CK100s instead.
The W3s are the one man's meat another man's poison type of IEM. people who like fun, lively sounds will respond favourably to the W3s. I actually think the W3s have a pretty good soundstage but somehow overshadowed by their bass emphasis. haha. but with 5 mins of listening that's all i could muster.
If i could give them more time maybe i'll have different impressions but i doubt the shopkeeper is going to entertain someone listening in their shop for an hour...
