Which is closer to TF10 sound, W3 or UM3X?

I've had the TF10, the SE530, the Westone 3 and the UM3X. To my ears, the UM3X and the TF10 are the closest match.

I've heard all myself... Personally find TF 10 most detailed and neutral despite a mid bass bump...

Well thanks for the replies guys. I was hoping the mayority would say UM3X because most of you seem to agree that they are very comfortable to wear.

Since Bilavideo has had all of three and thinks the UM3X is the right one I think I'll try them first and if they are not to my liking sell them on at a loss and try the W3.

What is the fit like with the W3? I've read that the stem is short and at the wrong angle which causes some people problems.

Why can't Ultimate Ears make a Triple Fi Pro 11 which has the TF10 sound in a more ergonomic shell?

I think ATH_CK100 has great sound quality as TF10Pro and UM3x.

The UM3X is easier to fit in my ears than the Westone 3s. I've ended up with the long Comply tips on the Westone 3s while I can use the Shure foams on the UM3X.

I used the shure foam with no problem on the Westone 3. Both Shure and Westones are among the most comfortable IEMs I've ever worn - but again, I'm probably used to have things in my ear these days.

The UM3X is more comfortable than my sensa customs. Seems to have too many drivers for its soundtube however, soundstage and coherence suffer from the trafficjam.
