How do these compare to the Westone UM PRO 30? Which ones would you recommend?

romaI opted for the UM Pro 30, since they cost me about $100 less, and sound great IMO. I didn't test them against the SE535 though. When I checked several posts on Head-Fi and a number of other sites, many people preferred the Westone IEMs. Apparently the Westone's are supposed to be more intimate, while the SE535 has better soundstage.

WeirdGI can't really make up my mind, the UM Pro 30 will cost me a little bit more but that's not my main concern.

romaWell, you might want to go down to your nearest audio store to audition both earphones. I have tried both, and i find that the shures are a tad better. Perhaps because I'd used se425 extensively before. I like the shure sound signature better =D. Like what Weird G said, shures have a better soundstage. Of course, these are all subjective and your mileage might vary. Best to go try them out yourself! Either way, regardless of which one you go for, you are getting a top performing pair of headphones. Your ears will thank you =)

GawainSI checked the pricings and found out that the UM 30 Pro were a little cheaper so I went for them plus a cable to use them with my phone. Btw audio stores with good equipment are a very rare thing here

romaCheers mate, UM30Pro are awesome little buds as well. Incidentally, can I know what sort of music do you listen to with them? (I want to explore new genres of music).

GawainSI should have them by the end of the week. I listen to metal/alternative/90s rock, currently I'm listening to Ghost B.C. (all their albums are great, I love the atmosphere of their music), Two Steps From Hell's last album Battleborn (gives me chills), Epica (The Quantum Enigma is my favorite), but also classics like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Slipknot.

romaFrom your music library, I really think UM30PRO would suit you better! Congrats on the purchase.

romaAgreed... I live in a fairly large city, and I don't think any audio stores allow customers to test IEMs, just over the head headphones. The lowest price I could find the SE535 for, was about $500CAD. The Westone's were $420CAD.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
