I don't know if i got a bad pair, my hearing, or maybe I'm too use to the UM3X but the sound (particularly the mids) seem to be muffled on the Westone 4. I originally had the Shure535 and I really like the sound signature but the fit was terrible for me so I returned them for the westonee UM3X which was a great fit. The sound signature was different but the vocals were still pretty good. They grew on me over time but unfortunately (due to stupidity) I lost the UM3X, I was going to get another UM3X but then saw the Westone 4 so I decided to try them. I knew going in the that the sound signature was going to be somewhat different than the UM3X but did not think it would sound muffle. The comfy foams were the worst, they had the best isolation but the vocals sounded like they were coming out of a cone. The black olive ones were probably the best but they still sounded like music was coming another room with the door closed but speakers blasted at max. Though I have to say that the Westone 4's are even more comfortable than the UM3X. Anyone have any problems with their Westone 4?
