what kind of detail you need? to my ear

SF5p: Slightly recess in mid. Bass is consider well control and treble is fairly decent. more lively presentation compare to UM2

um2: bass sounds muddy to me. bass also overpowering the mid. treble there is rolloff. um2 is a dark IEM to me.

Suggestion: Best is that you head down to jaben or SE to hear them yourself...

Hi Larry,

Perhaps you might want to check out the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro & the Westone UM2 review available in the forum to aid you.

Personally, like Theory has said, each of us have different listening tastes. His example of SF5Pro being slightly recessed in Mids & UM2 overpowering bass and dark signature; personally I would not agree.

As Theory has said previously; try out the earphone. Have fun!

Cheers!

oh, so many ppl's ears are lying to them including westone researchers?
most claim that um2 was the dominant iem for mids.

the bass is indeed quite strong and abit muddy but it has nv overtaken the sweet warm mids.

IMHO, the UM2 mids are not overpowered by the bass at all, well it all boils down to personal preferences, the genre of music played and equipment used etc. One man's meat is another man's poison like they say.

But the best way to know the difference between the two is to go audition to them with music that you are familiar with.

Larry, larry, well what can I say, you've started it.

Try and read through next time.. we have a few reviews available on the forums..

The Superfi.5 Pro done by zonalblitz

here's another thread dedicated to the Westone UM2
http://z10.invisionfree.com/sgaudio/index.php?showtopic=40

So far, IMHO, I've tried the UM2 unamped and amped various times, to get myself suited to the sound signature so that I can further appreciate it.

I believe that the UM2 has very warm mids but to me, I found that it is indeed softer and not as detailed and clear as the ER4P which has an exaggerated midrange (which I like!)

The Superfi.5 Pro is indeed an all-rounder IEM, better yet test it out yourself @ Jaben before making any decisions.

If you stay further up North, you might want to pay Stereo Electronics a visit. Heard from others over at SgH he has very good service. But I still prefer Jaben personally though. :xmas:

hey thanks guys. thanks for your review abt SF5P and UM2. I am currently using SF5P. Source is Creative MuVo Slim and a Go-Vibe with Mamba-D. To me i find that the treble something overpower the mid. this is because of the Source or the IEM? that's why i ask for the diffferent between this 2 IEM.

IMO, the weakest link here is the source itself...Muvo Slim to me has a very "thin" sound from what I remember(my sis used to have one)...besides you are amping from the headphone out isnt it...thats not really recommended unless you have a "better" DAP...

how do you find the sound without the go vibe? or maybe you can try out another IC like the python?

btw...dint you try on both UM2 and SF5P before you bought them? that might have saved you some "buyer remorse"...

the sound w/o go vibe is like not "healthy" as in u have to focus to listen to all the instrutment.. after a go vibe as pre amp the sound is more "healthy" and don really have to focus to heard all the soudn and improve in soundstage imaging.

as for the review i read be4 i bought SF5P about this two IEM is that UM2 have stronger bass which i don really need those bass. as for sf5p the review is that it have better clarity which i want.. cos as u will on the move, u will heard the mid and high better more then the bass. this is how i feel.

I was thinking to get an iPod Nano 2G cos it support wav format audio and it also have a true line out.... so do u think is this a good choice and will this improve the sound quality a lot compare to creative muvo slim?

i am still new to headamp. so don really those IC u will saying. but i am curious wat they will do to the sound ya? and izzit expensive to change IC?

the problem is this...since the stock headphone out already sounds "unhealthy" to you, amping from the headphone out would serve to amplify the flaws even further...

also please note that the go vibe is not a pre-amp, but an amp...AFAIK a pre-amp works with a power amp...

and actually, people usually prefer a stronger bass on the move because more bass usually helps to overcome ambient noises..."less bass" or a "neutral/accurate" sound is more for critical listening in the comfort of your home...thats the general preference...

and of course the Nano 2g would definitely be a better source considering how much better the recent iPods have been sounding, but then it still does not have a true lineout IIRC, but it works pretty nevertheless...

Nano max is 8gb wav format takes quite a chunk of space.
For now don't think any DAPs had true line out.

well...if you are asking for MY opinion, neither SF5P nor UM2 sounds clear...to my ears/brain, the SF5P sounds overall more balanced across the spectrum while the UM2 sounds abit bass bloated TO ME...Im sure alot of people out there would wanna flame me on this, but I have to admit Im a Shure/ETY guy...

In short simple terms, a pre-amp is usually fed into a power-amp, and both amps "work" on different parts of the sound signal. Im sure theres alot more detailed literature if you googled around a little. The only occasion Ive come across a "portable" Pre-Power combo os when some of the guys over at fixup.net hooked up TWO Xin SM...but this is usually considered overkill as pre-power are more used in HOME rigs...

DAC

is there any different between a ipod nano 2g and 8g in term if their quality and erm why ppl put a converter at the bottom yet ppl say is not a true line out ya?

sry for all the question i ask.. i quite new to this stuff. thanks everyone reply my post...

ok bro the stuff we shove below the ipod is called a lineout dock, it will make a lot of difference if you are going to use an amp.

I've split your question into 2 parts :

1st, there should be no difference in terms of SQ for different capacity players but I would think that there will be longer loading times for the higher capacity one (can anyone confirm this for flash-based players?) for the same generation unless you are comparing the older iPod Nano 2Gb and the current iPod Nano 8Gb.

Secondly, a line out means that after the conversion of digital signals (from your CD or digital files) to analogue signals so that it can be picked up by an amplifier for it to be played on a pair of transducers, which is your headphones/IEMs that consists of vibrating drivers according to the analogue signals (or vibrating electromagnetic films, if ya want to be anal about the types of headphones).

Most people reported that some of the line outs (eg. iRiver H340) are actually shared with the headphone out.

For the iPods and iAudios, I believe when the lineout dock is attached, the headphone out is disabled via hardware settings automatically and the volume is tuned to the maximum.

iPod's headphone out is not disabled when line out is plugged in.

A true line-out will only comprise of weak analogue signals which shouldn't even have sufficient power to drive your headphones as well. But apparently, you can still hear music if u plug stuff into the line out section, hence the "fake" line out.

Last but not least,

ipod when lineout is used, the headphone out is not disabled. and the lineout like what you say can't drive a earphone to a decent volume. but eq setting do affect the sound


And to the last part, i believe there is no way in music world i can convince others that this sound bad and that sounds good. every ear and brain is different so we hear things differently. So for sound part, it hard to put across to others how good it is or how bad it is unless they try it themself. :peace:
