Good, balanced sound output, a huge upgrade from ordinary earphones ; Comes with a bunch of ear tips which makes it impossible not to find one that perfectly fits ; Tangle-less cord ; Stylish and fits the ear perfectly

Above average sound

The Westone UM1's earpiece covers aren't always as secure as they should be.

Westone's UM1 Single Driver True Fit Earphones are a fantastic set of in-ear headphones for audiophiles who lack the money (or desire) to buy an ultra-high-end model.
