Do you think they will put made in Canada on the tag?

Posted by Jonoc /img/forum/go_quote.gif  UM3X is only made in the USA?

Made anywhere else - fake ? 

If there are any fakes, they will use a real one as the mold. 

 

How do you wear yours, click your pick..

Sorry, don't really get what you're saying.... please elaborate ?

 

[Young Spade]

Fake IEMs look like real ones because the people who make the fakes use molds from real ones to make the fake ones. Just look at all of the threads about IE8 fakes..... there's a very extensive guide around here though that helps you discern between the two. Sadly it's not as obvious as the ESW7/9A fakes.... (sometimes). 

 

[Jonoc]

I see...
tried looking around for the guide but couldn't find it. If you have the link, that'd be great.
Also, whatca think of this ? It sells all sorts of electronics...making it, well, untrustworthy-ish....

Thanks man

 

[Young Spade]

Why is it untrustworthy that they sell more than one type of electronic? Just wondering :/
 
But it looks legit; it might take a while before people copy the UM3X RC. There weren't really any fake UM3Xs out there..... it's not really a popular IEM.

To those who got the new removable cable. How is the comfort of the cable with the extra...I don't know memory wire I guess at the top? Not to take away from Pearle's question...maybe he can answer when he gets his too.

 
I finally received my UM3X-RCs today. The cable near the earpieces are surrounded by a clear memory plastic that keeps its shape and doesn't seem to impact comfort at all.

I dont know... Maybe a UM3X being sold amongst other cheap electronics doesn't give me the peace that they're legit. But you do have a point. Ill keep looking around for now, thanks !

Ah alright, that makes sense I guess. Well best of luck man; hope you get a pair soon.

What do the other cars on the lot have to do with it?

That does not make sense to me YS

Hey guys, 

Quick question. 

Removable VS Non-Removable cables for Um3x ? 

They say changing cables may affect the SQ and even a bit of the characteristics of the sound ? 

Cheers !

Hello guys.. my UM3x just got one ear side almost dead overnight.
Has this happened to anyone else? Warranty is gonna be a pain in the as* for me, as i'm not US resident.

Is there anyway to remove the filter that's inside the IEM's "canal"?
It must be something blocking the way out of the sound.
 
 
If I i get the circled area of this picture to my ears, they sound equally the same, if I try the correct way, the IEM of the right is almost dead.
So it could be something blocking the way out of the sound.

I tried the wax cleaner that comes with the IEM's, but it's still the same =\ It's weird because it happened overnight, and was perfectly fine.

 

[Young Spade]

Hmm wow yea that does sound weird. Without voiding the warranty you could try getting whatever youthink is in there out... or you could crack them open and just glue them back when you're done :/

As long as you keep the receipt, the warranty should be piece of cake for you, don't hesitate to contact Westone CS to see what they can do for you. My experience told me you will get a free shipping when they send your repaired IEM back.

You don't have to register in first year. Receipt is enough
