it seems there is a few post bout W3 and IE8 again lolz...
if you guyz interested i can let you guyz audition it...
ive both sony and cowon players
w3 and um2...ive stopped upgrading so i didnt get the IE8
trust me...IE8 at rm1100 is quite a fair price IMHO...almost tempted to buy it lolz...
my w3 i got it at rm1500...so you guyz do the math and check out the market price 1st before complaining bout how expensive IEM's are lolz...why ppl dont get DJ headphones instead?well its becoz we use it at home...or when we are DJing...we dont really wear a full size cans out in the open...not much use as the seal aint as good as IEM's...

lolz...i want to do that too...but lately have been bz with work...ill post up the date when im free...

Added on January 6, 2009, 9:30 amUE i had never tried it before...but Etymotic users once they tried UM2 they loved it right away...
IMO balance wise...any westone products can beat the rest...

UE should be more balance i think. Etymotic with vy weak bass make the music quite boring, feeling tht no soul inside. But there is still alot of people who like clearity more like it.

And about headphone, i dun like it bcoz i feel tht it is easily hot. So i choose IEM. heheh. 

I wan try W3!!! But i m too far. Sigh 

anybody wanna bring this earphone?

hoho... quite cheap....

duune bro... it is a new line from UE.... im searching for review at ankel google..

icyfawkes: make the gathering at around mid of feb so tat i can join too? having course till feb at Penang right now...T_T
Btw wats the diff between UM1, UM2 and 3? slightly improved or got significant different between tis 3 product of westone?

iceFrog-Hunter: I am more to bass user also, but prefer to have good clearity too. So balance side and more to bass type user. Seems like Etymotic wont be my choices? hmm...

so westone um1 is more balanced than er6i and ue superfi.3 studio?

sorry mr. oldkidz.... no where to be found.. they just announce it yesterday... hohoho... wait for the reviews lah....

my W3 i bought at rm1.5k from walabies...im now selling my UM2 at Rm600,sry...i had not try UM1 before...
but the difference between W3 & UM2 is great...UM2 is considered one of the best IEM in the market...but when i tried W3 i was like whoa...wait....we made a thread on W3...ill post the link here

my 1st impressions on W3 werent that good...but after a while...i started compairing other IEM's...you will find that W3 is special

Very cheap already for few months age.... 

yeah , Etymotic sure not ur food .
U can try looking at Klipsch Image , Shure SE530 , maybe they can fit what u wan 

Westone UM1 is single driver , UM2 is dual driver , Westone 3 is triple driver .

lolz...it really at a low price already...the original price i was selling at was rm700...
actually westone products are quite satifactory to me compared to the rest of the products in the IEM world...
but it is still better for you to try out the rest before deciding to buy...so that it will suit your own preferences

if for budget around below rm200...bijou is good to go... i havent try them myself...but darn...no complaints...its review is pure clean cut...thats very rare...

lolz...thats alot of data...
this should be enough for you...its reviewed by Clieos
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=722890&hl=clieos
but all my experiences arent frm forums alone...sometimes you gotta try them out for yourselves

mr. oldkidz.... i could assure u tht mylar bijou is worth ur money... if ure basshead... this is for u.... im using it as we speak...

hohoho...

you forgot UE11

ue11 IS GODLIKE item, juz dream of it. lol

What does IEM stand for? What's its main purpose?

Any recommendation for my budget and need?

lol 
great review btw
to each own preference    i love my shures ,ie8 and acs-t1 lol 

well almost the same price as ue11
699 pounds ....

649pounds... around rm3900++... syeesh.....
