I'm about to pull the trigger for either a pair of Shure SE535 or Westone UM3x and ordering custom tips for the one chosen so i'm about to fork out quite some money.
Thus i'd really appreciate some detailed impressions from people who has actually owned both of them (I do not need the typical misinformation chain that goes like i had this that allegedly sounded like that so i must be really sounding close to this).
I'm looking for some input on the relative strenghts and weaknesses of both against each other (frequency response, isolation, soundstage, separation)
Now i do have a pair of Shure SE420's and i like them very much but i want to step in the 3 driver universal alley.
My main doubt lies on the soundstage of these iems. What i've gathered from here is that the Shures have a far wider soundstage and the UM3X a far more closed in one. So i don't know what to expect in that regard from the Westones and i'd hate if them have no soundstage or whatsoever (as if everything was sounding too centered in relation to my ears). I could trade in some soundstage for more instrument separation tough.
I do my listening on an iPhone 3Gs and a 2009 Classic+iBasso T3.
Thanks in advance.
