Westone UM Pro 10


Prior to this, I had actually gotten a spare Westone One second hand at $60 from a seller who wanted to get rid of it, but then after awhile I made a stupid mistake and in the process damaged the wires which rendered it useless.

Decided I needed to get new buds. Was contemplating between the W10 and the UM Pro 10, both base models by Westone. The W10 had a slightly warmer sound but ever so slightly only that it was negligible for me. The main diff was that the former is $299 and the latter is just $219. Since the W10 had volume controls and mic, I figured I wasn't going to pay $80 more for that additional piece which I doubt I'll use often, so the UM Pro 10 it was then.

Between the two I definitely prefer the Westone One, it's slightly louder than my UM Pro 10 but one volume up fixes that.

Sound wise the Westone One is also slightly bassier and the highs are a bit clearer in my brief test.

Better check if they work on iPhone though, I recall Colin had bad experience with the older Westone model, hope its fixed in the W10-40 series.
