I've had my set for about a week now and am getting some kind of short in the plug where it connects to the source. Anyone else have this problem?

So the sub bass or upper treble can be improved. You can add another bass driver at Unique Melody, and may give a much better and punchier bass, mmm.. the "UM4X" (aka Westone Unique Melody (3+1)X) is a very suitable name for the remolded UM3X + 1 BA driver. For me, I am not considering the remolding because, current UM3Xs + custom sleeves are very good already. Also I want a good universal as backup when I go for the customs in future. |
