These Rival My Shure SRH 940's

Finally my search has ended to replace an old pair (excellent quality) of Shure in ears. Unfortunately, they passed on after many fine years of service. Water was the culprit. Poor things drowned one day. I tried in vain to save them. Ever try pumping...

Very good sound

This is the most expensive earphone that I have ever used and it is the best I have ever listened to. I use it with my Sony NWZ-A855 mp3 player. Compared to my old earphone ATH-CKS77, the bass is not that depressing as CKS77. It sounds more natural....

Westone UM3X / 3X

These are every bit as good as advertised. For best results us the different size fittings to get the best fit and experience. I have had top of the line Shure products and these are every bit as good, if not better. I did not have to spend much time...

westone um3x review

I just received my Westone UM3x's this week and all I can say is, "Wow". I also own the Shure se530's and Ultimate Ear triple.fi 10's and I really enjoyed both but I couldn't help but note the flaws in both IEM's. It's no news to anyone who's been on...

The UM3X is ultimate universal-fit musicians' monitor, perfect for the on-stage performer. Available only in clear/black. UM3XWestone UM3X is the newest ear canal earphones specially designed for musicians for stage monitoring. This is the highest-end triple driver with universal fit musicians' monitors, designed to offer the performing musician a well-balanced monitor no matter what instrument you play. The new UM3X uses the latest in balanced armature technology, with a true three-way crossover configuration that delivers incredible smooth response without accentuating any particular band of frequencies. Unlike the Westone 3 which was designed for playback, the UM3X was built from the ground up for professional (and amateurs) musicians that want and need the very best monitors for their performances. The UM3X is a universal fit ear canal headphone and because of that they do not require a visit to the audiologist. Each unit includes four pair of Comply© foam tips in small and standard size, a zippered carrying pouch and user guide and the UM3X comes with a durable 50" stereo "Y" cord with a 3.5mm stereo jack. The UM3X are for stage monitoring and target the musicians' market. Once we receive our sample we will publish a review about them.
