Hey... I knw this sounds a bit dumb bu...t plz bare with me for the movement.. I have a pair of sennheiser ie80 and I loved it... Especially with the ISo-tape mode. But right nw I'm kinda having a bad "ringing in the ear" and I found it gets worse when I use dynamic driver items than BA iems.. And very recently I gt a offer frm one of my friend. He told me that I can do a exchange to a westone 2 or a klipsch x10i .. And I need sm help frm u guys to decide is it a good deal or a pointless one.. Any how I believe w2 is a good choice , but never heard it .... Also what abt the Shure Se425?

Appreciate a good help!

X10's are good if you take care of them.

The Westone's seem like the best option out of all the three IMO. Although, I prefer the UM2 over the ordinary 2. If you can add extra dough, get the UM2.

I have never owned the IE80 so I can't comment on which sound better, but if comfort and isolation is important for you, then get the UM2's. Also, if you move around a lot, the UM2's will stay in your ears unlike the IE80's from what I've heard. By the way, the UM2's are intended to be stage monitors, so they don't have that much "boom boom", but the sound great if you like your music flat.

I own IE80s, and they are both comfortable and can stay in my ears. They don't isolate too well without foam tips, but now that I use foams all's good there too.
 
However, I'd have to agree with Adamska if you're not keen on heavy bass and dynamic drivers - yesterday, I auditioned the UM2 and it sounded awesome. Bass wasn't boomy, but it was definitely precise and punchy. I'd go with them! Good luck!
