I kicked the Westone UM1 in-ear musicians' monitor around the block with smartphones and hi-res players. The sound of this single balanced armature is solid with a pronounced mid-range without being to harsh. The bass is balanced and not too punchy. To su...

Abstract: Let's face it, audio engineers don't always have the luxury of having their studio reference headphones available when they're out and about. And if you're on a budget, getting the finest IEM really isn't an option. So I decided to make a short list of th...
Excellent fit, Superb comfort, Balanced mids, 50" cable, Copes well with micro phonics, Well suited sound signature for most music genres, Open sound, Bang for the buck, Detailed sound, Barely enough bass for most music types
Bass extension, Amount of bass, Treble detail
There is no doubt about it, the Westone UM1s are a great pair of earphones for the price. With an estimated retail price of only $109 these headphones are well suited to take on the competition in this price segment. Their balanced warm sound signature...

The Westone UM1 Single Driver True Fit Earphones offer excellent clarity and ample low-end response. The headphones are also attractively designed.
The Westone UM1s earpiece covers arent always as secure as they should be.
Westones UM1 Single Driver True Fit Earphones are a fantastic set of in-ear headphones for audiophiles who lack the money (or desire) to buy an ultra-high-end model. Price range: $109.00 See all products in the Westone Universal Series

I heartily gave my recommendation of the Westone UM1 a year ago, and flash forward to today, I still think it's one of the best music headphones in my collection. The new color variants and cheaper price serves to make the UM1 even more attractive to musi...

Good, balanced sound output, a huge upgrade from ordinary earphones, Comes with a bunch of ear tips which makes it impossible not to find one that perfectly fits, Tangleless cord, Stylish and fits the ear perfectly
Cord a bit short, The rubber near the earphone jack is a bit too thick, a bit hard to insert with some iPhone 4S cases
