I've read many many threads on both of these IEM's and I still have trouble deciding between the two.
ER6i
pros:
Its cheap at palm right now!
FWIR, it has a sound sig that I like.
cons:
Not too into sticking things in my ears, and they require deep insertion
UM1
pros:
comfort kings! (shallower insertion which i can handle)
supposedly balanced across spectrum (could someone clarify this for me? I'm coming from marshmallows, air cushions, and Sr-60s)
cons:
great value, but still double price over ER6i
also, which one is more forgiving? I have less that stellar source files (only a third or so of my library is FLAC or high bitrate mp3)
I am a a income-less student so cost is important.
I listen to (alt) rock, some electronica, lots of mainstream stuff. I love the grado sound sig though I feel it needs more bass.
