skinnylatte 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 Hello everyone, first post here though I've been lurking for a while. I was wondering if anyone has any comments on using the Westone UM1 with the Gary Ali's PocketAmp2. I am about to place an order for a PocketAmp2, but may also be in the market for a pair of new earphones. Any thoughts on the Westone UM1, together with the amp?

You can probably try out the UE Super.fi 3 which is also in the same price league with the UM1. Go and feast your ears. Then you can safely make a decision after that.
