lmaestro 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2008 Currently looking at Westone UM1.Im looking to hook it up to my Ipod Touch.I heard that UM1 is not that bassy but more importantly i watch movies on my touch and would the UM1 give me the "cinematic" feel?Or are there other alternatives that is less than $150?i listen to rock and metal music so is the um1 a good fit?thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackmouth0 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2008 for rock and metal music? hmmm, sometime with bassy sound you looking for? why not try the UE 3 studio? good in bass, a couple of review on it. UM1 will lack of some bass. But fore movie, hmmm, not so such abt the "cinematic" feel, but if you used it to watch moive, the vocal, the speech part will be nice ba. ANyway, UM1 fitting is very good! Cant try at Stereo? they have a demo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dragonboy Report post Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) I wouldn't recommend the UM-1 for rock or bass. The UM1 might probably be one of the most comfortable earphones I've ever used other than my new ACS customs. You could try the UE superfi 3studio... more bass punch and much more wider soudstage. I think this might fit you better. But for fitting-wise, I'll suggest you to try them out first. I do have some problems feeling comfortable with the UEs. Stereo at causeway point would be a good place to try them out since they have a wide range of demo. But don't stay there for too long. The poison there is super strong!

1pin 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 um1 is great but you will ask for more later. save up and go for um2 or westone3 that's my advice. i own a um1 and i regret i didn't go for um2 when i first purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
