HD25s or Westone UM2 IEMs?
Posted on: 17.06.2012 by Darcey Kinnett
Basically I can get a set of either for about the same price. I know how good the HD25s are and have had a chance to test them out in person. Just wondering if it would be worthwhile buying the UM2s. Has anybody here had experience with them? Do you find them very comfortable? Do they have a tendency to fall out at all?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Harry

IEMs are always a better bet, they are essentially high end musicians earplugs with monitoring built into them, so no need for the ear defenders over the top.

BUT they can be uncomfy after a while unless you get them custom moulded which adds a LOT to the $$$,
and idk about the westones but ive heard a lot about the cables snapping at the earplug on iem's which is "unfixable"

Whilst they do also offer a good level of sound protection, in very noisy environments, I have also worn ear plugs to attenuate the sound, with the HD's over the top.
