I would certainly be most interested to get one. I heard it and it is very impressive.

AKG26P ?

Why dun u try Beyer DJX-1?

Sigh, we live in a world of moral relativity where there seems to be no fixed answer when we need one.

The company I work for exhibit their products all over the world. One of the unwritten rules is when we walk around the exhibition halls and we are at a competitor's stand, we keep a respectable distance. It was difficult for the new trainees who joined our company to understand why. Perhaps it is the ISO concept where everything is cast in stone. And yes, many things in life do not have fixed answers.

How about protocols? There must be the right or wrong thing to do is it not? Even if there are no explicit rules. No different from grabbing at the buffet table. But then again, people will do what they want to do.

Hi,

I am back-was away for quite a while doing something in Africa. Kank_39 I am sorry I missed your PM but it looks like you have gotten the answers.

Back to my purpose. I noticed that Jaben is now doing earmolds and I want to know if any of you out there use earmolds.

My questions are, 1) Are they comfortable, 2) why use earmolds, 3)would it work out cheaper in the long/short run if I stick to the disposables.

What I find enticing is they are giving away free ear impressions for those who purchase the Westones. Looks like I may not qualify though as I got mine way back then.

Mmmm....... looks like I must pay them a visit again

Hello everyone,

My off day today and as usual I was visiting my favourite haunt. There's a new headamp called Firestone Battery Cute II. Anyone knows anything about it?

I read a couple of reviews earlier today but what I really want to know is anyone out there has it..... actually look cute.

Hello Gurus,

My current fav store at the Adelphi where I bought my Westones have Allessandro headphones. I've read about them in this forum - are they any good?

I already have the Westone, would it make sense to have one of these headphones?

TIA

UM2 is available locally at the Adelphi..... Jaben Network at the 4th Floor is the distributor. I bought mine there.

I checked the prices before buying..... after working out the freight cost, gst import duties, the ability to actually touch and feel it before buying..... any savings would have been very little.

I've been "burning" them since the purchase... it's sounding much much better. BTW, a friend of mine has a E5C and he compared it and he said he could not tell the difference..... I know this is subjective but that's what he said.

Name of the shop is..... I'm copying from his name card:

Jaben Network

1 Coleman Street

04-16, The Adelphi

Singapore 179803

Tel: 63370809

I paid, 230 for UM1 & 570 for UM2. He had two types, the yellow foam and the comply. I paid 7 for the comply so I could use it for testing.

If you like to try without paying, he will sterilize the foam tips before letting you try. You are also expected to clean your ears with the earbuds.

I am enjoying the UM2, sounds much better today than yesterday - I'm letting it run in the next couple of days.

Looks like they have got some more gadgets coming in... he did not say what though.

Mmmm... yes... but no earphone... ... hey you're cool.

Been there done it. I bought one of each of the UM1 & UM2. The UM1 is a present for my nephew's birthday. I was reluctant to try them following elmo's comments, but they used new plugs (which they charged me-I think it is fair, so I did not mind) and gave me new UM1 & UM2 when I finally made the purchase.

I tested the UM1 against the Etymotic ER6i and in my opinion the UM1 was far better. I also tested the UM2 against the Etymotic ER4P and Shure E5C and it was a close call between the E5C and UM2. I decided on the UM2 as the price difference was rather substantial. I suppose if I had the extra cash to burn I would have purchased both.

Thanks guys for the advice and helping me make up my mind.

Thanks... now I really must go and try it out... I wonder if they will let me try it. Most retailers seem reluctant to let people try their earphones.

You mean it's good? Maybe I should go there and test it out. I've been thinking of getting an in-ear... tried a friend's Etymotic-not bad, but it did not quite turn me on.

I saw it at the display cabinets... I think it says something like Ja... (something) Network... I think it is the 3rd or 4th floor... you know something about this earphone?... any good?

Hello Gurus,

I was wondering around at Adelphi and I saw an in-ear headphone named Westone. I saw two models UM1 & UM2. They looked rather pretty. Anybody knows whether this is something worthwhile considering?

TIA
