normally is find the sound which u like
everyone got their diff taste ..

today i go tried UM3X and AT CK100..

i try with my rig , emod > .22 > IEM

UM3X = sound really similar with SE530 , but UM3X got less bass then SE530 and didnt roll off like SE530 , but SE530 mid still the best , UM3X like too near on u , sometime will feel it bit muddy , not control well like SE530 .

CK100 = almost same sound as my ER4S , it soundstage is bigger bit then ER4S , but i feel that the CK100 sound cant control well then ER4S , like the bass , i feel that ER4S bass more tight and fit , but CK100 bass punch quite soft .But i think CK100 need using amp to push to , coz it sound will better more better !

hmm , compare to TF10 , i will love TF10 more then this 2 IEM , coz UM3X mid like too near , quite hard to focus on the human sound , CK100 high bit too rush , maybe need amp to control it , and TF10 will sound better , ntg much to complain it .

oh , i tried at SG STEREO there .

U can get the UM3X at the shop , some of the IEM price drop edi .

UM3X = SGD 559
Westone 3 = SGD 559
IE8 = SGD 569
CK100 = SGD 499(promotion ! Left 4 only)
TF10 = SGD 629
SE530 = SGD 699(can rebate SGD100 with 2nd hand earphone)

haha , UM3X sound are close to SE530 , but SE530 got more feeling when listening with it , and SE530 outlook more nicer

what happen to PFE ?

Yes , UM3X u no need any amp for it , just pair with DAP enough !

different ppl got their diff taste , as long as u can enjoy then isit nice earphone

from my view , SE530 still the best for me , UM2 and UM3X SQ similar to SE530 .

for me is like this

SE530>UM3X>UM2

So can said that UM2 is cheaper version of SE530 , and UM3X is bit more neutral version of SE530.

nope , hold for custom
I think cable cracks issue hard to be found in m'sia here , coz quite hot .
Mostly the problem is apper at colder side country .

where u did ur custom ear tips ?
