Haha.. Juz get the 1 with the sound signature u like..

For me the UM2 sound signature is nice for me plus the design and the braided and soft cable is definately a plus..

Headphones also need burn in.. Basically what burn in does is it makes the diaphragm more elastic so it can produce more range of frequencies thus making the earphone/headphone sounds better.. Correct me if im wrong.. Like i said, diff brand have diff burn in time.. best to ask those who used the particular brand b4..

UM2 is more on the bassy side.. Love the bass... Great punch.. Details do suffer slightly but not much.. The highs is abit high for my liking making it abit harsh..
Seperation of instruments is good.. Took me 2-3days to really get used to the warm signature..

To me the positive out weight the negative by alot so no regrets getting it.. Great IEM to have i muz say.. Dual driver IEM already sounds this good.. Can't imagine triple 3 way drivers..

btw...clieo,when are you gonna do a review on westone3?

I wanted to do some review on the W3 but people will say me bias because I am a seller

lolz...you lend ur W3 to clieos let him do review to shut those ppls mouth up...

woa..u must be really satisfied with ur UM2 eh?
thanks a lot for ur detailed description bro! really appreciate it

may i asked how much n where did u get it?
kinda tempting oso base on ur opinion
sigh...

as u said..cant imagine how triple 3 way drivers would sound...
sigh again...

So far im a very satisfied customer of westone..

Well i bought mine 2nd hand which is a week old only for a great price...

Try pm walabies.. Mine was originally from walabies..

anyone has tried Head-Direct’s RE1 before? it looks good based on clieos review. and it is not that expensive. i wonder how the bass sound is like?

ClieOs, you did amp the RE1 with practical xm3 amp?

woah..u r really lucky. may i ask, is it half of the original price or just a bit lower?

proclaimer. i've just noticed u r from mmu cyber?
what faculty are u in?

got it for almost 2/3 of the ori price..

Me..? IT student..

dont expect much on w3 if u like um2 sound signature....
they r different from um2

that is really cheap~
u must be really lucky to have it!
u are pairing ur UM2 with ur ipod touch is it?
what equalizer setting are u using?

oh yea me engineering student.

Not any time soon since my bank account is currently close to empty.

Yes, I amped RE1 with XM3 during the review. It was my main portable amp for almost two years. If you have read it, here is my review on RE0, the current best of Head-Direct's offering.

Hehe.. i kno.. On paper the Westone 3 sound good to me.. But there is the price issue.. 400usd is not cheap..



Yeah lucky.. But now very broke..

Yup pairing it with my ipod touch.. Im not using any EQ setting as i like the sound as it is..

Oh u also from mmu..? hehe..

pair with an amp ler using dock lineout and i bet u will yur brain will fly out of yur ears

Can ipod touch use dock lineout..? I tot cant..

Bout the amp.. Some say no need amp some say need..

all ipods can use dock line out except shuffle

can use the dock lineout bypass the ipod equalizer and makes it more cleaner and better signal for amping
well u have to listen to amp 1st then u decide different ppl got different sound signature they like
but mostly all kena poison deeply and come back later looking for amp

I know that ipod classic can but haven't seen any1 do that to ipod touch..

Yeah... gotta find some1 with an amp to try out.. Poison~~

well if you want,i can lend you my w3 for review when it arrives...
where are you located?

I am currently back home at Paloh, a small town in the middle of Johor.
