Great value and great sound

This is my very first pair of IEM's. The sound quality is very clear, and the isolation level is great!

Very good in-ear monitors for Aviom systems!

My trusty Shure E2C's died after 4+ years of weekly use so I was considering the Shure SE215's or the Westone UM1's for a replacement. I emailed Ted Hunter and he recommended the UM1's. After reading ... read more [+]multiple reviews on both products, I settled on the Westone UM1's.

The thing I like most about the UM1's is their comfort. Sometimes I forget that I even have them in. They are very light weight and seal the ears very well. They are however, quite different from the E2C's that I had been using so I wanted to use them a few weeks before I wrote a review.

The biggest noticeable difference for me is the top and bottom end roll off. That is not necessarily a bad thing but it took a bit of getting use to after using the E2C'2 for so long. There is definitely a more defined mid-range in comparison to the E2C's also.

I am using these through an Aviom system for praise and worship so for that application these work very well. If I were to buy in-ear monitors for the sole purpose of listening to music through an MP3 player, or other media device, I would probably go a different direction.

Over all a very good product for live music monitoring! close [-]

Great Sound on a Budget

I was using sure E-2's which gave up the ghost. I persistently had them breaking the seal in my ear and were bulky.

They have a full, warm sound. Like the lower end shures, they have a slightly muted top which for my taste, prevents piercing sounds. They would not be my choice based on listening use but for monitor use, they will do a fine job. They also seal better, are much lighter and are easy to deal with as the cable is not stiff like the shures. close [-]
