not that i dislike the custom 3 or anything but the custom 3 simply isnt a top tier IEM and the UM3 is
in the same way i recognise the IE8 as being better than the IE7 but it doesnt mean id sooner listen to the 8 all day over the 7.
however if you like the custom 3 then there is nothing so offensive to the ears on the um3 with the right source to make u not be able to appreciate its betterness. the sound sig on the custom works better i think for me but side by side your ears will be able to tell why the um3 cost a lot more
think merc V's maybach, nothing wrong really with the merc but the maybach is just on that even higher level
