xllms 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2006 Currently i have a Panasonic RP-HJE50(Black) which i brought it Last yr. I love the bass but it don seems very comfortable for me. So i am looking for a upgrade . Price below S$200 I prefer those tight bass types i have both HJE50 & UM1...HJE50 has more impact on its bass, but UM1 is tighter...trebles on HJE50 is more upfront but harsh n the UM1's treble is abit recessed...the mids thumps the HJE50, with its smooth delivery and more live-like performance, it makes HJE50 sounds dull and un-involving, esp on the vocals...when i switched from UM1 back to HJE50 for a week, i hated the HJE50 to be honest xllms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest joi-ful Report post Posted July 6, 2006 ^^ I agree I find UM1 to be a really fun sounding musical phone. Very nice to listen to. Definitely a big jump from the HJE-50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patric 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2006 Got the UM2 from Jaben...excellent place to buy...take ur time to test... Actually tested UM1 / UM2 and the Ety6i... Like the Ety sound but it just lack details in the sound compared to the UM2 so no choice keke... But if u like a cleaner, clearer n brighter sound get the Ety ... Bass is the UM1 Got chance test out the cans in Jaben... they will blow u away keke.... had the chance to test the MS Pro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralli`fto 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2006 ooo How about Shure e2c and westone um1 is the two of them comparable?XP I find that the UM1 wins the shure e2c hands down due to the tighter bass and more detail. Shure e2c bass is realli kinda muddy. Too muddy for my liking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xhui 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2006 Not to hijack, though still on same topic.. please help in affirming my questions if i should go ahead with e UM1 purchase.. I'm currently using a Shure E2C, it has recently "broken down" and i'm trying to give myself a excuse to change! some of my queries, i understand that comparing the UM1 to the E2C, the UM1 wins hands down? But am just concerned about the bass? I'm not a very audio-technical person, but at first when i got my E2C, i really felt i've lost my bass (i guessed as compared to my Sony EX series i used prior to my E2c). Just concerned if further bass would be lost? Pls be gentle with the technical terms? I can get quite lost and over em. Appreciate all the feedbacks!! btw, from much reading and browsing here, i find ppl in this forum are all so warm and cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xhui 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2006 if you find E2 not enuff bass, um1 think won't suits you. try sf3, um2, sf5eb... which would be nearer the price for the UM1 or the E2c? budget is below 200.. tho' have to say after burn in for my E2c, i've goton used to the level of bass it produced.. guessed the proper seal is important too?

Btw, sf5eb is not for normal ears.. it is meant for pure "bass"phile.. not really... i find the bass not as heavy as um2. i have 1 5eb at home now... im716 is hard or pain for ppl to get the seal and a little harder to drive. other than that coming from e2, 1 may find it a recess in mid, lack of warm... but more detail and better treble... <$200 price range for warm sound, sf3 is the one...
