What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Westone UM Pro 30 Triple-Driver Universal-Fit In-Ear Musicians’ Monitors
  • I use rubber tips which are comfortable. I use the standard size.
  • I find the Westones more comfortable in my ears and the sound quality is excellent - flat & does not colour the sound.
  • Finally they are very comfortable with a huge variety of ear fittings that can be exchanged to personalize fit.
  • Comfortable and the perfect amount of sound isolation.
  • Comfortable, very well designed. Sounds very clean with punchy staccato bass.
Shure SE425 Sound Isolating Earphones
  • They're super comfortable so I can easily sleep with them on.
  • The audio is crisp and clean, and I have never felt/experienced such a great and comfortable fit- in terms of both comfort and sound isolation.
  • They can be a little finicky to get in correctly, but if done right they stay comfortable for extended listening sessions.
  • They are comfortable for hours on end; although for the first few days to a week, after a few hours they become uncomfortable, but after that you get used to them and it is no longer an issue.
  • The amount of tips it comes with are nice to have, it gives you options for a comfortable fit or different places you are playing in.

What customers say about "Features"
Westone UM Pro 30 Triple-Driver Universal-Fit In-Ear Musicians’ Monitors
  • Sound quality is fantastic and isolation is quite decent.
  • Comfortable and the perfect amount of sound isolation.
  • These are incredibly accurate, highly responsive, and absolutely *perfect* for on stage use. I am a bass player, so I opted for the Pro 30s for that third driver.
  • When on the airplane, I plugged this gem in and watched my movie, I thought I was at home all the way till the movie ended and realized I was back on the airplane because the airplane sound was just blocked out.
  • The cord is my only complaint. In my year of owning these, I have had to replace the cord five times.
  • The cord could be far more durable than what is included, and it is unacceptable.
Shure SE425 Sound Isolating Earphones
  • The cord wrapping around your ear design is very cool, though a little less convenient for those with glasses I found.
  • A big pro that I haven't used yet is the detachable cords. Often times the cord is the weak link in a pair of headphones. With these, if the cord breaks you can just replace it. Very nice.
  • I like the replaceable cords ( though has never been a problem for me with Shure).
  • But the audio is crisp and clean, and I have never felt/experienced such a great and comfortable fit- in terms of both comfort and sound isolation.
  • I'm also in airplanes every week so sound isolation is important.
  • Over the ears cord also gets in the way more.
