Review on Westone UM Pro10: High-Performance In-Ear Monitors with Noise-Isolation and Vibrant Orange Design by Brad Cao

Revainrating 2 out of 5

How can you sell these?

I'm an audio pro who've tried about 30 IEM/Chifi headphones in the last few months. It's terrible. Really terrible. Nice body and accessories, nice design and fit, terrible sound. The lack of low frequencies, very forward and dirty mids, the almost complete lack of high frequencies gave them almost no time. Maybe I should have tried longer but they sounded SO bad straight away. Very disappointed in them. Maybe they were targeting a cheap thing like the Shure SE425, with reduced bass to make room for stage noise and reduced highs to make room for more focus and midrange volume without hurting your ears with high frequencies. You can't hear on stage. However, the mids were so bulky and ugly that they completely missed the clarity and power of the 425. If you're used to the 425 and don't want a cheap backup, they might be fine.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • No paint needed
