palestofwhite 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Between both models, i bought the UM1s in the end due to the better build, more comfortable fit and also the pricing. When worn correctly, these earphones perform very well. I'm now trying them out with the short complys that came with the UM1s and they're really good. Bought the Shure grey flexes as well for variety. Overall both earphones are really great its class and be sure to try them out before you buy. You can test both models at stereo electronics and I'm sure Aron will be glad to assist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marshy 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2006 Hi All New here. Anyways..just picked up my UM1 and its great.... i fell into the temptation of testing out the UM2 and it really blew my mind out! But the price is way above my budget.... Nevertheless.. i was contemplating between UM1 and ER6i originally but I wasn't comfortable with ER6i construction and lack of base. Oh yar.. the ER6i was damn uncomfortable in the ear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
palestofwhite 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2006 Pros and cons. But both are good. The UM2 is good but the bass can be overwhelming sometimes. Abit complex for my ears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi. i went to stereo last week, intending to buy a CK7 i also tried the ER6i and it sounded too dead to me. Tried the UM1 and *BAM*, wow i love it... and this is how i busted my budget~~~ moral of the story, have an idea of what you want to buy, go down to stereo or jaben and ask to try the earphones (bring your own music player), then make a 2nd decision there or you can just go home and think more... no point rushing, since it's your ears that will enjoy the sound (OR suffer from a hastily and badly made choice) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tok2mi 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2006 hey thanks for the advice. Looks like i've got to test them for myself. Currently using sony's ex-71 neckstrap ones. Not too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tok2mi 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 Haha... i wont. I got a 200-300 budget this time round. So im ready. Really dont mind paying if the earphones are worth it. cumin frm EX71, all IEM will cfm be better Haha... but that time i tried my friends, shure e2c. Yes i agree the noise isolation is much better, however bass wise i feel it lost to sony. But clarity of cause its e2c. I must try the um1 everyone is talking about. But some simply recommend ck7 and they said it's good enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
